Drawing a line on an image with PIL

Drawing a line on an image with PIL

You can draw a line on an image using the Python Imaging Library (PIL), which is now known as the Pillow library. Here's how you can do it:

  1. Make sure you have Pillow installed. You can install it using pip if you haven't already:

    pip install Pillow

  2. Create a Python script to draw a line on an image:

    from PIL import Image, ImageDraw # Open an image file image = Image.open('your_image.jpg') # Replace 'your_image.jpg' with your image file # Create a drawing object draw = ImageDraw.Draw(image) # Define the starting and ending points of the line start_point = (100, 100) # (x, y) end_point = (200, 200) # (x, y) # Define the line color (R, G, B) line_color = (255, 0, 0) # Red # Draw the line on the image draw.line([start_point, end_point], fill=line_color, width=2) # Save the modified image image.save('output_image.jpg') # Save the image with the line drawn # Display the image (optional) image.show()

    In this code:

    • We open an image file using Image.open() from the Pillow library.

    • We create a drawing object using ImageDraw.Draw().

    • We define the starting and ending points of the line as tuples (x, y).

    • We define the line color as an RGB tuple (e.g., (255, 0, 0) for red).

    • We draw the line on the image using draw.line().

    • We save the modified image using image.save().

    • Optionally, we display the modified image using image.show().

  3. Replace 'your_image.jpg' with the path to your image file and customize the line color, starting point, ending point, and line width as needed.

  4. Run the Python script, and it will create a new image with the line drawn on it.

This code demonstrates how to draw a line on an image using Pillow (PIL). You can customize it further to draw lines with different colors, styles, and positions as needed.
