Wand mode() function – Python

The mode() function is an inbuilt function in the Python Wand ImageMagick library which is used to replace each pixel with the mathematical mode of the neighboring colors.

Syntax: 

mode(width, height)

Parameters: This function accepts two parameters as mentioned above and defined below:  

  • width: This parameter is used to store the number of neighboring pixels to include in mode.
  • height: This is an optional parameter is used to store height of neighboring pixels. By default it is same as width.

Return Value: This function returns the Wand ImageMagick object.

Example 1: 

Python3




# Import library from Image
from wand.image import Image
 
# Import the image
with Image(filename ='../w3wiki.png') as image:
    # Clone the image in order to process
    with image.clone() as mode:
        # Invoke mode function with width as 30 and height as 10
        mode.mode(30, 10)
        # Save the image
        mode.save(filename ='mode1.jpg')


Output: 

Example 2:  

Python3




# Import libraries from the wand 
from wand.image import Image
from wand.drawing import Drawing
from wand.color import Color
 
with Drawing() as draw:
    # Set Stroke color the circle to black
    draw.stroke_color = Color('black')
    # Set Width of the circle to 2
    draw.stroke_width = 1
    # Set the fill color to 'White (# FFFFFF)'
    draw.fill_color = Color('white')
 
    # Invoke Circle function with center at 50, 50 and radius 25
    draw.circle((200, 200), # Center point
                (100, 100)) # Perimeter point
    # Set the font style
    draw.font = '../Helvetica.ttf'
    # Set the font size
    draw.font_size = 30
     
    with Image(width = 400, height = 400, background = Color('# 45ff33')) as pic:
        # Set the text and its location
        draw.text(int(pic.width / 3), int(pic.height / 2), 'w3wiki !')
        # Draw the picture
        draw(pic)
        # Invoke mode function with width and height as 200
        pic.mode(200)
        # Save the image
        pic.save(filename ='mode2.jpg')
