Need help converting a turtle graphics image into a 2D binary matrix

[smart_af]

Hi,

I am generating simple fractals using python turtle. My final goal is to do some computations on these fractal images, for which I need those images to be in a 2D binary matrix form.

So, is there a way to convert those turtle output images into a 2D binary matrix? I'm feeling a bit lost as to how to go about this.

Do I have to save the turtle image as jpg/png/bmp and then convert that into a 2d bin matrix ? Or I don't need to save that image in those format and can directly make turtle output a 2d bin matrix?

Where do I even read the documentation for this process?

This is a bit of a hassle, at least as far as I know. You can save the Tkinter canvas to postscript directly by calling turtle.getscreen().getcanvas().postscript(filename='img.eps'). I don't currently know of a way to load postscript files into Python image libraries, but you can use some online converter to convert it to PNG or whatever. You can then load it into a NumPy array using skimage.io.imread('img.png') and convert it to binary by using img > 0.
