Questions tagged [pillow]

The Pillow library is a fork of the Python Imaging Library (PIL), aiming to be friendlier than the former.

What is Python Pillow?

Pillow is the "friendly" PIL fork by Alex Clark and Contributors. PIL is the Python Imaging Library by Fredrik Lundh and Contributors.

The fork author's goal is to foster active development of PIL through:

  • Continuous integration testing via Travis-CI
  • Publicized development activity on GitHub
  • Regular releases to the Python Packaging Index
  • Solicitation for community contributions and involvement on Imaging-SIG

Source: Python Pillow library 2.0.0 on pypi.python.org.

Python Pillow library packages are available on pypi.python.org

How do you merge images into a canvas using PIL/Pillow?

I'm not familiar with PIL, but I know it's very easy to put a bunch of images into a grid in ImageMagick. How do I, for example, put 16 images into a 4×4 grid where I can specify the gap between rows and columns?

How do I close an image opened in Pillow?

I have a python file with the Pillow library imported. I can open an image with Image.open(test.png) But how do I close that image? I'm not using Pillow to edit the image, just to show the image and allow the user to choose to save it or delete it.
