Definition
Module: dynamsoft_utility
class ImageIO:
Methods
Method | Description |
---|---|
read_from_file |
Reads an image from a file. |
read_from_memory |
Reads an image from a file in memory. |
read_from_numpy |
Reads an image from a numpy array. |
save_to_file |
Saves an image to a file. |
save_to_memory |
Saves an image to a file in memory. |
save_to_numpy |
Saves an image to a numpy array. |
read_from_file
Reads an image from a file.
def read_from_file(self, file_path: str) -> Tuple[int, ImageData]:
Parameters
file_path
The path of the image file.
Return value
Returns a tuple containing following elements:
error_code
<int>: The error code indicating the status of the operation.image_data
<ImageData>: AnImageData
object representing the image.
Remarks
If the file format is gif, pdf or tiff, we read the first page of the image file. The caller is responsible for freeing the memory allocated for the image.
See Also
read_from_memory
Reads an image from a file in memory.
def read_from_memory(self, image_file_bytes: bytes) -> Tuple[int, ImageData]:
Parameters
image_file_bytes
A bytes representing the image file in memory.
Return value
Returns a tuple containing following elements:
error_code
<int>: The error code indicating the status of the operation.image_data
<ImageData>: AnImageData
object representing the image.
Remarks
If the file format is gif, pdf or tiff, we read the first page of the image file. The caller is responsible for freeing the memory allocated for the image.

read_from_numpy
Reads an image from a numpy array.
def read_from_numpy(self, image: "numpy.ndarray", image_pixel_format: EnumImagePixelFormat) -> Tuple[int, str, ImageData]:
Parameters
image
A numpy array representing the image.
image_pixel_format
The pixel format of the image.
Return value
Returns a tuple containing following elements:
error_code
<int>: The error code indicating the status of the operation.error_message
<str>: A descriptive message explaining the error.image_data
<ImageData>: AnImageData
object representing the image.

path
The targeting file path with the file name and extension name.
overwrite
A flag indicating whether to overwrite the file if it already exists. Defaults to true.
Return value
Returns a tuple containing following elements:
error_code
<int>: The error code indicating the status of the operation.error_message
<str>: A descriptive message explaining the error.
