Rapid Prototyping with SWIG


November 1998/Rapid Prototyping with SWIG/Figure 2

Figure 2: A sample Python session using a program built with SWIG

>>> # Have Python load the new Image module 
... import Image

>>> # Create an ImageInfo structure, and load Ship.gif 
... II = Image.ImageInfo();
>>> II.filename = "Ship.gif";
>>> Ship = Image.ReadImage ( II );
>>>
>>> # Python representation of a pointer to Image* 
... Ship.this
'_1012cb08_Image_p'
>>>
>>> # Some attributes of the Ship
... Ship.rows

>>> Ship.columns

>>> Ship.depth;    # Bits per pixel

>>> # Emboss effect
... Embossed = Ship.Emboss();
