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>

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
