I'm trying to read in a FITs image file for my research, and I decided
that writing a file decoder for the Python imaging library would be the
easiest way to accomplish this for my needs. FITs is a raw data format
used in astronomy.
Anyway, I followed the example in the PIL documentation online, and I
also had a look at the FITs image stub file included with PIL 1.1.5. I
cooked up something that should work (or nearly work), but I keep
running into either one of two errors (below). The crux of the problem
appears to be that my plugin isn't being registered properly and isn't
being read at runtime when I call Image.open().
1.) The library loads the FitsStubImagePl ugin.py file from the
site-packages directory (instead of my plugin) and then gives the
following error:
File
"/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framewor k/Versions/2.3/lib/python2.3/site-packages/PIL/ImageFile.py",
line 255, in load
raise IOError("cannot find loader for this %s file" % self.format)
IOError: cannot find loader for this FITS file
2.) I remove the FitsStubImagePl ugin.py, pyc files and stick my plugin
in the directory instead (my plugin was already in the PYTHONPATH
before). Then I get the following error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "FitsImagePlugi n.py", line 111, in ?
image = Image.open(fits _name).save(jpg _name)
File
"/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framewor k/Versions/2.3/lib/python2.3/site-packages/PIL/Image.py",
line 1745, in open
raise IOError("cannot identify image file")
IOError: cannot identify image file
This seems like I'm either doing (or not doing) something really stupid
or the docs are outdated. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

unfortunately, the stub loaders (which were introduced in 1.1.5) may over-

I don't see any obvious problems with your file, except that you should in-
herit from ImageFile, not StubImageFile:
class FitsImageFile(I mageFile.StubIm ageFile):
should be
class FitsImageFile(I mageFile.ImageF ile):
but I assume you've already tried that.
if you can you mail me (or point me to) a sample file, I can take a look.

I know and love PyFits, but I need to be able to do draw shapes on a
FITs image (and perhaps some other operations), and I don't believe
that PyFits allows these kinds of operations. It might be possible to
import the data into a numarray object and turn that into something PIL
can read, though.

If you can bear having two copies in memory, Image.frombuffe r()
generally does the trick.

What arguments do you pass to this function, and do you flatten the
array from the FITs image? I this but got garbage out for the image.

Also, does PIL have a contrast / scale option that is similar to zscale
in ds9 or equalize in Image Magick?

The array would have to be contiguous, which it may not be immediately
coming out of PyFITS. You also need to be sure that you are using the
right mode for the data.
In [7]: import Image
In [8]: import numarray
In [9]: z = numarray.zeros( (256,256)).asty pe(numarray.UIn t8)
In [10]: z[128,:] = 255
In [11]: img = Image.frombuffe r('L', (256,256), z)
That creates a black image with a white, horizontal line in the middle.

I tried following your simple example (I already had something similar)
but with no luck. I'm completely stumped as to why this doesn't work.
I even tried manually scaling the data to be in the range 0-255 out of
desperation. The data is definitely contiguous and 32 bit floating
point. At this point I've tried everything I can think of. Any ideas?
Jeremy
# open the fits file using pyfits
fits = pyfits.open(fit sfile)
xsize, ysize = fits[0].data.shape
data = fits[0].data.astype("F loat32")
fits.close()
# now create an image object
image = Image.frombuffe r("F", (xsize, ysize), data)
# scale the data be 256 bit unsigned integers
#int_data = numarray.zeros( (xsize, ysize)).astype( "UInt8")
#min = data.min()
#max = data.max()
#for i in arange(xsize):
# for j in arange(ysize):
# scaled_value = (data[i, j] - min) * (255.0 / (max - min))
# int_data[i, j] = int(scaled_valu e + 0.5)

Hi,
I have looked through the MSDN but looks like there is nothing there
that tells me how to use a Decoder object and actually get information
about a JPG image. I need to check the frame header and see what type
of DCT the image is made with like DCT with Huffman coding or Extended
sequential DCT with arithmetic coding.
Any help is appreciated,
