Sometimes, we want to convert canvas content to an image with Python.
In this article, we’ll look at how to convert canvas content to an image with Python.
How to convert canvas content to an image with Python?
To convert canvas content to an image with Python, we can use the PIL module’s ImageGrab method.
For instance, we write
from PIL import ImageGrab
def getter(widget):
x=root.winfo_rootx()+widget.winfo_x()
y=root.winfo_rooty()+widget.winfo_y()
x1=x+widget.winfo_width()
y1=y+widget.winfo_height()
ImageGrab.grab().crop((x,y,x1,y1)).save("img.png")
to create the getter function that gets the coordinates of the top left and bottom right corners of the canvas we want to capture.
Then we call ImageGrab.grab().crop with the coordinates in a tuple to grab the canvas into an image.
And then we call save to save the image as a file with the given file name.
Conclusion
To convert canvas content to an image with Python, we can use the PIL module’s ImageGrab method.
