as long as it's a small file -- it can be much easier to help
There is one puzzling format difficulty I have with the file that requires some attention. I hope to have that cleared up in the next hour or two. Actually, there's a twist in the format that should be mentioned. The first image (frame) is 640x480, and I'm pretty sure one byte per pixel. However, every other image (frame) after that is 128 pixels square. An auxiliary text file provides where, x and y pixel position, the small image should be pasted to form a complete image with the 640x480 frame.
Maybe it's because I"m more familiar with numpy than PIL, but this is how I'd do that (untested, of course...):
import numpy as np infile = file('filename') img = np.fromfile(infile, count=640*480, dtype=np.uint8) for i in range(num_images): do_something small_image = np.fromfile(infile, count=128*128, dtype=np.uint8) img[x:x+128, y:y+128] = small_image .... NOTE: np.histogram2d might do what you want for the histogram I'm sure you can do somethign similar directly with PIL. -Chris -- Christopher Barker, Ph.D. Oceanographer Emergency Response Division NOAA/NOS/OR&R (206) 526-6959 voice 7600 Sand Point Way NE (206) 526-6329 fax Seattle, WA 98115 (206) 526-6317 main reception chris.bar...@noaa.gov _______________________________________________ Image-SIG maillist - Image-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/image-sig
