NAME
rgbconv - Fast RGB image pixel format conversion module written in C
DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents rgbconv module, a Python module for rapidly
converting image pixel format from BGRA (Blue, Green, Red, and Alpha) to RGBA
(Red, Green, Blue, and Alpha).
Different aplications/modules use different pixel formats for represenging
pixels in images and photos. One of the most popular formats are 24-bit RGB
(8 bits each for red, green, and blue) and 32-bit RGBA (8 bits each for red,
green, blue, alpha). Other formats include 32-bit BGRA (8 bits for blue,
green, red, and alpha) and 32-bit RGBX (8bits for red, gree, blue, and
unused).
rgbconv provides bgra2rgba, which rapidly converts from the BGRA format
to the RGBA format. rgbconv is implemented in C language for achieving
the almost optimal performance.
EXAMPLES
import rgbconv
img = b'01234567890abcdef'
rgbconv.bgra2rgba(img)
print(img)
WARNING
rgbconv directly modifies a byte-like object in Python for the maximal
performance even if the object is immutable, which may cause problems. Use
rgbconv module with caution.
INSTALLATION
pip3 install rgbconv
AVAILABILITY
The latest version of rgbconv module is available at PyPI
(https://pypi.org/project/rgbconv) .
