I'm trying to get PythonMagick going using ....
Enthought Edition Python 2.3
PythonMagick-0[1].5-Q16.python23.win32.exe
The following small example script from the old PythonMagick tutorial
worked for me just as coded below using Python 2.2.1 and an earlier release
of PythonMagick, which has been uninstalled, but now throws
TypeError: bad argument type when calling the writeImages( .... ) function ....
# animate1.py --------------------------------------------------------------
from PythonMagick import *
img1 = Image( './img/01.jpg' )
img1.scale( "100x100" )
img2 = Image( img1 )
img2.blur( 5 , 1.5 )
imgs = animateImages( [ img1 , img2 ] )
writeImages( imgs , './out/a1_kirstin.gif' , 1 ) # Line 14 .... Problem occurs here
# ------------------------------------------------------
python animate1.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "animate1.py", line 14, in ?
writeImages( imgs , './out/a1_kirstin.gif' , 1 )
TypeError: bad argument type for built-in operation
Magick: Failed to close module ("UnregisterJPEGImage: The operation completed successfully.").
# ---------------------------------------------------------
The only documentation I've found about writeImages()
is from some Magick++ docs, but I'm unsure how to
actually interpret it as my C++ experience is almost non-existent ....
http://www.imagemagick.org/www/Magick++/STL.html
writeImages InputIterator first_,
InputIterator last_,
const std::string &imageSpec_,
bool adjoin_ = true
Write images in container to file specified by string imageSpec_.
Set adjoin_ to false to write a set of image frames via a wildcard imageSpec_
(e.g. image%02d.miff).
The wildcard must be one of %0Nd, %0No, or %0Nx.
Caution: if an image format is selected which is capable of supporting fewer colors
than the original image or quantization has been requested, the original image will be
quantized to fewer colors. Use a copy of the original if this is a problem.
# ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
All of the other PythonMagick examples from the original tutorial
seem to work OK except the two that compose animated GIFs
using the writeImage function ....
Any clues ????
