Imagequant Python - Python Bindings for libimagequant
=====================================================

|Github| |Discord| |PYPI Version| |Build Status| |Black| |License|

**Imagequant Python** are bindings to allow using libimagequant_ from Python.

**Libimagequant** is a small, portable C library for high-quality conversion of RGBA images to 8-bit indexed-color (palette) images.

.. _libimagequant: https://github.com/ImageOptim/libimagequant


Install
-------

From PyPI::

    pip3 install imagequant

NOTE: you may require compilation tools to build the library if you system is not suitable for the precompiled wheels. On Debian / Ubuntu you can install the build dependencies with the following command::

    sudo apt install build-essential python3-dev


Usage
-----

With PIL / Pillow
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

.. code-block:: python

    from PIL import Image
    import imagequant

    input_image = Image.open("./example.png")
    output_image = imagequant.quantize_pil_image(
        input_image,
        dithering_level=1.0,  # from 0.0 to 1.0
        max_colors=256,       # from 1 to 256
    )
    output_image.save("./out.png", format="PNG")

|input_image| → |output_image|

.. |input_image| image:: ./example.png
.. |output_image| image:: ./example_out.png


With Raw Data
~~~~~~~~~~~~~

.. code-block:: python

    import imagequant

    # 2×2px image
    IMAGE_DATA = (
        # | R | G | B | A |
        b"\xFF\x00\x00\xFF"  # red
        b"\x00\xFF\x00\xFF"  # lime
        b"\x00\x00\xFF\xFF"  # blue
        b"\xFF\xFF\xFF\xFF"  # white
    )

    output_image_data, output_palette = imagequant.quantize_raw_rgba_bytes(
        IMAGE_DATA,           # RGBA image data
        2, 2,                 # width, height
        dithering_level=1.0,  # from 0.0 to 1.0
        max_colors=256,       # from 1 to 256
    )

    # you can now encode image data and the palette in any image format...

Example ``output_image_data``:

.. code-block:: python

    b'\x02\x03\x00\x01'

Example ``output_palette``:

.. code-block:: python

    [0, 0, 255, 255, 255, 255, 255, 255, 255, 0, 0, 255, 0, 255, 0, 255, 0, 0, 0, 0, ...]
    # color 0      | color 1           | color 2       | color 3       | color 4   | ...


Development of the Bindings
---------------------------

Clone the repository and get the submodules::

    git clone https://github.com/wanadev/imagequant-python.git
    cd imagequant-python
    git submodule init
    git submodule update

Install some dependencies (preferably in a virtualenv)::

    pip3 install nox cffi pillow

Build the binary part of the lib::

    python imagequant/libimagequant_build.py

A ``.so`` file (or a ``.pyd`` file on Windows, or a ``.dylib`` file on MacOS) shoud now be present in the ``imagequant/`` folder. You will not need to run this command again until you change something in ``imagequant/libimagequant.h`` or in ``libimagequant/*.{c,h}``.

To check the coding style, you can run the lint with the following command::

    nox -s lint

To run the tests, use the following command::

    nox -s test
