Py5Image.resize()

Py5Image.resize()#

Resize the Py5Image object to a new height and width.

Examples#

example picture for resize()

def setup():
    py5.rect(10, 10, 80, 80)
    py5.fill(255, 0, 0)
    py5.rect(15, 15, 10, 60)
    img = py5.get_pixels()
    for x in [80, 60, 40]:
        img_copy = img.copy()
        img_copy.resize(x, 0, py5.BICUBIC)
        py5.image(img_copy, 100 - x, 100 - x)

Description#

Resize the Py5Image object to a new height and width. This will modify the Py5Image object in place, meaning that rather than returning a resized copy, it will modify your existing Py5Image object. If this isn’t what you want, pair this method with Py5Image.copy(), as shown in the example.

To make the image scale proportionally, use 0 as the value for either the w or h parameter.

The default resize interpolation mode is BILINEAR. Alternatively you can use the interpolation_mode parameter to interpolate using the NEAREST_NEIGHBOR method, which is faster but yields lower quality results. You can also use BICUBIC interpolation, which is the most computationally intensive but looks the best, particularly for up-scaling operations.

Underlying Processing method: PImage.resize

    w: int,  # width to size image to
    h: int,  # height to size image to
    /,

resize(
    w: int,  # width to size image to
    h: int,  # height to size image to
    interpolation_mode: int,  # interpolation method for resize operation
    /,
) -> None
