ICNS-PIL Mac OS icns resource

Extensions: .icns

From the Pillow docs:

PIL reads and (macOS only) writes macOS .icns files. By default, the largest available icon is read, though you can override this by setting the size property before calling load(). The write() method sets the following info property:

sizes

A list of supported sizes found in this icon file; these are a 3-tuple, (width, height, scale), where scale is 2 for a retina icon and 1 for a standard icon. You are permitted to use this 3-tuple format for the size property if you set it before calling load(); after loading, the size will be reset to a 2-tuple containing pixel dimensions (so, e.g. if you ask for (512, 512, 2), the final value of size will be (1024, 1024)).

Parameters for reading

pilmodestr

From the Pillow documentation:

• ‘L’ (8-bit pixels, grayscale)

• ‘P’ (8-bit pixels, mapped to any other mode using a color palette)

• ‘RGB’ (3x8-bit pixels, true color)

• ‘RGBA’ (4x8-bit pixels, true color with transparency mask)

• ‘CMYK’ (4x8-bit pixels, color separation)

• ‘YCbCr’ (3x8-bit pixels, color video format)

• ‘I’ (32-bit signed integer pixels)

• ‘F’ (32-bit floating point pixels)

PIL also provides limited support for a few special modes, including ‘LA’ (‘L’ with alpha), ‘RGBX’ (true color with padding) and ‘RGBa’ (true color with premultiplied alpha).

When translating a color image to grayscale (mode ‘L’, ‘I’ or ‘F’), the library uses the ITU-R 601-2 luma transform:

L = R * 299/1000 + G * 587/1000 + B * 114/1000

as_graybool

If True, the image is converted using mode ‘F’. When mode is not None and as_gray is True, the image is first converted according to mode, and the result is then “flattened” using mode ‘F’.
