Re: [pygame] image conversion in memory
Thank you very much Carlos Zuniga and Noel Garwick for your suggestions. I
will look into both matters.

Re: [pygame] image conversion in memory
Password protected zip would work.
You can also look into what renpy's .rpa format does.

If the user is supposed to be able to open and see the images from the program, then they can still PrintScreen and grab the image. All I can suggest there is adding a watermark, so you at least know if they are grabbing it from the screen. If you zip the images with a password, then that password will still be in the script, the user will be able to obtain it. You can try to obfuscate the password but that only goes so far, anyone with some python knowledge would be able to find it out. Maybe compile the sensitive parts with cython and hope the users are not curious?
Re: [pygame] image conversion in memory
I am reading up on creating and using zip files and may possibly use it,
What I am trying to do here is to hide the images on disk so that a user of
the program will not be able to manipulate or change the images. What other
way can you suggest?
Thanks for all the help so far.

Open both files in binary mode, with 'wb' and 'rb' respectively.
Especially if you are on some funny operating system, like Windows.
Have you considered just putting all your images in a zip file, instead
of encoding them in strange ways?

Hi Radomir,
Thanks for the response.
ok. This is what i want to do
i want to try to convert images into a string format and store them on
disk. Better if they are unprintable characters.
then when i want to see them i will run them thrugh a decryption python
script and viola they will be displayed in pygame
when i close the program again i will have only the encoded 'imageds'
on the hd.
I did this using
get_screen = SCREEN.subsurface(0, 0, SCREENW, SCREENH)
with open(image_filename, "rb") as imageFile:
imagestr = base64.b64encode(imageFile.read())
## create the text file name to save to disk
text_filename = newpath + "s" + str(va.page) + ".dat"
## save imagestr(image as a textfle) to disk
with open(text_filename, "wb") as f:
f.write(imagestr)
I wanted a better way and hence the question.
stringio or cstringio is fine. i can save the string to disk but how
can i convert it back to an image file?
Thank you for your help.

Re: [pygame] image conversion in memory
since myimage is using pygame.image.load, it might be indexed? On the
other hand, it's also possible that pygame.image.save is actually
performing some compression when it saves to a png format? I'm not sure
offhand, but something to check out.

with open('myscrambledimage.dat', 'r') as newfile:
getimage= newfile.read()
print len(getimage)
len(putimage) and len(getimage) are hugely different in size and I can't
see why as it is putimage that is written to file and then read back as
getimage.
Clarification on this would be immensly welcome.
Thank you in advance

Re: [pygame] image conversion in memory
Hi Radomir,
Thanks for the response.
ok. This is what i want to do
i want to try to convert images into a string format and store them on
disk. Better if they are unprintable characters.
then when i want to see them i will run them thrugh a decryption python
script and viola they will be displayed in pygame
when i close the program again i will have only the encoded 'imageds' on
the hd.
I did this using
get_screen = SCREEN.subsurface(0, 0, SCREENW, SCREENH)
with open(image_filename, "rb") as imageFile:
imagestr = base64.b64encode(imageFile.read())
## create the text file name to save to disk
text_filename = newpath + "s" + str(va.page) + ".dat"
## save imagestr(image as a textfle) to disk
with open(text_filename, "wb") as f:
f.write(imagestr)
I wanted a better way and hence the question.
stringio or cstringio is fine. i can save the string to disk but how can i
convert it back to an image file?
Thank you for your help.

so if i need to save that to memory i do with open('writetomyfile.dat',

Thank you very much for that explanation.
the "image save" part confused me.
How would you convert the file back to a jpg or png image?
Please pardon me for asking all these questions.

Of course you can't -- no such file exists. It's only in memory, in the
f variable. That's the whole point. You can get to the *contents* of

Sure, just use StringIO to use memory instead of a file.

pygame.image.save(s, f)

Re: [pygame] image conversion in memory
Hi Christopher!
Thanks for the response. Below is my code
pygame.image.save(get_screen, image_filename) # save the file
as jpeg
## reopen image and convert to text file
with open(image_filename, "rb") as imageFile:
imagestr = base64.b64encode(imageFile.read())
## create the text file name to save to disk
text_filename = newpath + "s" + str(va.page) + ".dat"
## save imagestr(image as a textfle) to disk
with open(text_filename, "wb") as f:
f.write(imagestr)
myscreen = pygame.image.load(image_filename).convert()
I capture the screen image
Is there any way that it can be converted directly to a text file like
above without writing it to disk first?
When you capture a screen it is a pygame surface. It is NOT a jpeg or a
png. The only way to cojnvert it to a jpeg or png is to write it to disk
and then reload it and then convert it to a text fle using base64.
What I would like to do is to capture the screen, covert to jpeg and then
convert to text file WITHOUT writing to disk first.
Any ideas?
Thanks for your support.

Re: [pygame] image conversion in memory
It depends on what precisely you mean when you say that a python variable
is a jpeg image. Do you mean that it's a string containing the contents of
a jpeg image file? So if you wrote it to disk you'd get a jpeg image file?
If that's what you mean, you can do it with PIL and StringIO. (There might
be an easier way.)
import pygame
from PIL import Image
from cStringIO import StringIO
# create an example pygame image
img = pygame.Surface((100, 100))
pygame.draw.circle(img, (255, 0, 0), (50, 50), 40)
# convert to PIL format
imgstr = pygame.image.tostring(img, "RGB", False)
pimg = Image.fromstring("RGB", img.get_size(), imgstr)
# save to string
s = StringIO()
pimg.save(s, "JPEG")
r = s.getvalue()
s.close()
# r is a string with the contents of a jpeg file. to confirm:
open("img.jpg", "wb").write(r)
However, this doesn't seem like a very useful thing to have (and if I
needed it so badly I would just write it to disk and read it back) so I may
be misunderstanding you.

[pygame] image conversion in memory
Hi all! Is there a way to convert a pygame surface to a png or jpeg IN MEMORY instead of saving to disk and loading again? something like get_screen = SCREEN.subsurface(0, 0, SCREENW, SCREENH) # grab the screen my_image = get_screen.convert(jpeg) # now convert the image to jpeg and now my_image is a jpeg image of get_screen I searched the net but couldn't find any other way other than save to disk as jpeg and reload. Any positive OR negative help is very much appreciated. Thanks in advance Diliup Gabadamudalige http://www.diliupg.com http://soft.diliupg.com/ ** This e-mail is confidential.
