Hi all,
I am looking for an autocrop function.
It should remove borders from an image.
Is it available in matplotlib ?
Any pointer would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance
Nils
I wasn’t able to find one in Matplotlib but you can use PIL library for all the imaging work. Really easy to use.
Here is the webpage for it: http://www.pythonware.com/products/pil/index.htm

Hi Anton,
Thank you for your prompt reply.
I am aware of PIL.
However I didn't find an autocrop function within PIL.
Cheers,
Nils
from PIL import Image
im = Image.open('test.png')

# Calculates the bounding box of the non-zero regions in the image.
# The bounding box is returned as a 4-tuple defining
# the left, upper, right, and lower pixel coordinate.
# If the image is completely empty, this method returns None.
#
print im.getbbox()
print im.size
#
# Returns a rectangular region from the current image.
# The box is a 4-tuple defining the left, upper, right, and lower
#
box = (100, 100, 800, 800)
region = im.crop(box)
region.show()
It would be nice to compute the box automatically.
Any idea ?
If you're using very recent version of mpl, you may try savefig with
"bbox_inches" option.
savefig("a.png", bbox_inches="tight")
The algorithm is not perfect, but will work for most of simple plots.

Hm, it doesn't work as expected. Am I missing something ?
The example is attached.

I guess I misunderstood your intention.
As you posted the message in the mpl list, I assumed that you want to
crop out the boundary of the mpl figure, which seems to be not the
case.
Sorry for the noise.

Please find attached the result of gimp's autocrop function.
That is the target.

Hi,
I found a way to run gimp (gimp2.2) in batch mode.
gimp --batch-interpreter plug_in_script_fu_eval -i -d -b '(script-autocrop "/home/nwagner/test.png")' '(gimp-quit 0)'
Now I would like to run gimp from python using subprocess, popen2 or os.system.
How do I call gimp with the arguments from python ?
