retrieve / find out an image's dimensions

[ateale]

hey guys

Is there a builtin/standard install method in python for retrieving or finding out an image's dimensions?

A quick google found me this:
http://www.pythonware.com/library/pil/handbook/introduction.htm

but it looks like it is something I will need to install - I'd like to be able to pass my script around to people without them needing any additional modules

Any help would be fantastic!

Cheers

Hey Bro,

To find an images dimensions you of course first have to import the Image module.

Here is a code snippet:

openpic=targetfile
im=Image.open(openpic)
print im.size
 

As you see once you define a variable as the image all you need is the size module. Hope that helps.

Yes, you would need to install PIL to work with images, but it's quite small. I'm currently working on being able to display images without PIL in wxPython (a fairly large installation), which is my preferred GUI Toolkit.

If you know the inner workings of the file format in question, you could open it in binary mode, seek() to the position of the data, then read() it.
