KImageIO Namespace Reference

from PyKDE4.kio.KImageIO import *

Detailed Description

Methods to get information about image format names and the corresponding mime type. Also, you can get information about supported image types without loading all the imageformat plugins.

The image processing backends are written as image handlers compatible with the QImageIOHandler format. The backends are Qt imageformat plugins. Each format can be identified by a unique type id string.

Formats:

Currently supported formats include:

  • BMP <read> <write>
  • EPS <read> <write>
  • EXR <read>
  • G3 <read>
  • GIF <read>
  • ICO <read>
  • JP2 <read> <write>
  • JPEG <read> <write>
  • NETPBM <read> <write>
  • PCX <read> <write>
  • PNG <read> <write, only with newer libraries>
  • TGA <read> <write>
  • TIFF <read>
  • XBM <read> <write>
  • XPM <read> <write>
  • XV <read> <write>

    Mode

    Possible image file access modes.

    Used in various KImageIO static function.

    Enumerator:

    Writing 

    Function Documentation

    bool isSupported ( QString  mimeType,
    KImageIO.Mode  mode=KImageIO.Writing
    )

    Test to see whether a MIME type is supported to reading/writing.

    Parameters:
    _mimeType  the MIME type to check
    _mode  Tells whether to check for reading or writing capabilities

    Returns:
    true if the type is supported

    QStringList mimeTypes ( KImageIO.Mode  mode=KImageIO.Writing
    )

    Returns a list of MIME types for all KImageIO supported formats.

    Parameters:
    mode  Tells whether to retrieve modes that can be read or written.

    Returns:
    a list if MIME types of the supported formats

    QString pattern ( KImageIO.Mode  mode=KImageIO.Reading
    )

    Returns a list of patterns of all KImageIO supported formats.

    These patterns can be passed to KFileDialog.getOpenFileName() or KFileDialog.getSaveFileName(), for example.

    Parameters:
    mode  Tells whether to retrieve modes that can be read or written.

    Returns:
    a space-separated list of file globs that describe the supported formats

    QStringList typeForMime ( QString  mimeType
    )

    Returns the type of a MIME type.

    Parameters:
    mimeType  the MIME type to search

    Returns:
    type id(s) of the MIME type or QStringList() if the MIME type is not supported

    QStringList types ( KImageIO.Mode  mode=KImageIO.Writing
    )

    Returns a list of all KImageIO supported formats.

    Parameters:
    mode  Tells whether to retrieve modes that can be read or written.

    Returns:
    a list of the type ids
