Image loaders¶
-
sdl2.ext.
get_image_formats
() -> (str, str, ...)¶ Gets the formats supported by PySDL2 in the default installation.
-
sdl2.ext.
load_image
(fname : str[, enforce=None]) → sdl2.SDL_Surface¶ Creates a
sdl2.SDL_Surface
from an image file.This function makes use of the Python Imaging Library, if it is available on the target execution environment. The function will try to load the file via
sdl2
first. If the file could not be loaded, it will try to load it viasdl2.sdlimage
and PIL.You can force the function to use only one of them, by passing the enforce as either
"PIL"
or"SDL"
.Note
This will call
sdl2.sdlimage.IMG_Init()
implicitly with the default arguments, if the module is available and ifsdl2.SDL_LoadBMP()
failed to load the image.
