Hello people,

Is it possible to retrieve the image mode (RGB, RGB16, etc) from a graphics.Image object ?

Hi,
I had not tried it but there is a function called image.inspect(file) that might help you.
Best regards.

From the pyS60 Library Reference:

Image.inspect(filename)

Note: Not supported in S60 1st Edition!
Examines the given file and returns a dictionary of the attributes of the file. At present the dictionary contains only the image size in pixels as a two-element tuple, indexed by key 'size'. filename should be a full path name.

So that wouldn't help at all.

Luis, use this:

img=graphics.Image.open("C:\\example.jpg")
print img.mode

Hey Bodgan,

Thanks for the reply! It seems this solution is not listed in the documentation ... (at least I didn't find it)

True, it isn't. But Image objects have a mode attribute and it seems to be accessible without needing special functions to return it
