Wand oil_paint() function – Python

The oil_paint() function is an inbuilt function in the Python Wand ImageMagick library which is used to simulate an oil painting by replace each pixel with most frequent surrounding color.
 

Syntax: 
 

oil_paint(radius, sigma)

Parameters: This function accepts three parameters as mentioned above and defined below: 
 

  • radius: This parameter is used to store the radius of the simulation.
  • sigma: This parameter is used to store the sigma of the simulation.

Return Value: This function returns the Wand ImageMagick object.

Original Image: 
 

Example 1: 
 

Python3




# Import library from Image
from wand.image import Image
 
# Import the image
with Image(filename ='../neveropen.png') as image:
    # Clone the image in order to process
    with image.clone() as oil_paint:
        # Invoke oil_paint function with radius 6 and sigma 4
        oil_paint.oil_paint(6, 4)
        # Save the image
        oil_paint.save(filename ='oil_paint1.jpg')


Output: 
 

Example 2: 
 

Python3




# Import libraries from the wand 
from wand.image import Image
from wand.drawing import Drawing
from wand.color import Color
 
with Drawing() as draw:
    # Set Stroke color the circle to black
    draw.stroke_color = Color('black')
    # Set Width of the circle to 2
    draw.stroke_width = 1
    # Set the fill color to 'White (# FFFFFF)'
    draw.fill_color = Color('white')
 
    # Invoke Circle function with center at 50, 50 and radius 25
    draw.circle((200, 200), # Center point
                (100, 100)) # Perimeter point
    # Set the font style
    draw.font = '../Helvetica.ttf'
    # Set the font size
    draw.font_size = 30
     
    with Image(width = 400, height = 400, background = Color('# 45ff33')) as pic:
        # Set the text and its location
        draw.text(int(pic.width / 3), int(pic.height / 2), 'GeeksForGeeks !')
        # Draw the picture
        draw(pic)
        # Invoke oil_paint function with radius 9 and sigma 7
        pic.oil_paint(9, 7)
        # Save the image
        pic.save(filename ='oil_paint2.jpg')


Output:
