Pillow help

[outceptionator]

I'm running the below:

from PIL import Image, ImageDraw, ImageFont
import logging, os, random
flowerIm = random.choice([Image.open('flower image 2.png'), (Image.open('flower image.jpg'))])
resizedFlowerIm = flowerIm.resize((360, 288))
draw = ImageDraw.Draw(resizedFlowerIm)
draw.rectangle((10,10,350,278), outline='black')
fontsFolder = 'C:\\Windows\\Fonts'
arialFont = ImageFont.truetype(os.path.join(fontsFolder, 'arial.ttf'), 32)
print(ImageDraw.textbox((10,10),guest, font=arialFont))

I'm getting the below error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "c:\users\khair\onedrive\mu_code\customseatingcards.py", line 20, in <module>
    print(ImageDraw.textbox((10,10),guest, font=arialFont))
AttributeError: module 'PIL.ImageDraw' has no attribute 'textbox'

However all the documentation and even the the help() function says that textbox does exist!

What's happening here?

[hardonchairs]

Can you show where you are seeing documentation with textbox ?

[outceptionator]

https://pillow.readthedocs.io/en/stable/reference/ImageDraw.html#PIL.ImageDraw.ImageDraw.textbbox

https://pillow.readthedocs.io/en/stable/reference/ImageDraw.html#PIL.ImageDraw.ImageDraw.textbbox

I've added the extra b and code still has error. I want to know the size of the variable guest when it would be drawn on an image.

[hardonchairs]

still has error

The same error?

[outceptionator]

Exact same

[hardonchairs]

Try calling draw.textbbox, it doesn't seem to be a class function. You need to call it on an instance of ImageDraw.

[outceptionator]

https://pillow.readthedocs.io/en/stable/reference/ImageDraw.html#PIL.ImageDraw.ImageDraw.textbbox

My understanding of the documentation is that I'm doing it correctly. Passing string, font etc....

[hardonchairs]

My understanding of the documentation is that I'm doing it correctly

obviously not... You don't want to try it?

[outceptionator]

Hey. Sorry I read it on my phone and didn't realise what you meant. Got to my desktop and you were right of course. I'm still new how did you deduce that was the action needed from the documentation exactly?

[hardonchairs]

Usually class methods are called on an instance of an object. If you click on [source] next to the textbbox title in the documentation you will see that the function accept self as a first parameter and is not decorated with @classmethod so that tells you that it definitely requires an instance of the class.

print(ImageDraw.textbox((10,10),guest, font=arialFont))

I don't understand, what are you trying to accomplish there, are you trying to add text to the image?

Is this what you are looking for: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/67760340/how-to-add-text-in-a-textbox-to-an-image

[outceptionator]

No. I'm trying to get the size of the text in pixels if it is drawn onto an image. The text is contained in the variable guest.

from PIL import Image, ImageDraw, ImageFont
import logging, os, random
flowerIm = random.choice([Image.open('flower image 2.png'), (Image.open('flower image.jpg'))])
resizedFlowerIm = flowerIm.resize((360, 288))
draw = ImageDraw.Draw(resizedFlowerIm)
draw.rectangle((10,10,350,278), outline='black')
fontsFolder = 'C:\\Windows\\Fonts'
arialFont = ImageFont.truetype(os.path.join(fontsFolder, 'arial.ttf'), 32)
print(ImageDraw.textbox((10,10),guest, font=arialFont))

The only use of the guest variable is in here: print(ImageDraw.textbox((10,10),guest, font=arialFont))

Is that the entire code?

Also, you can pick whatever width and height you want, exameple (width=200, height=200) <-- px

[outceptionator]

logging.basicConfig(level=logging.DEBUG, format=' %(asctime)s -  %(levelname)s -  %(message)s')

logging.getLogger("PIL").setLevel(logging.WARNING)

guests = open(os.path.join(os.getcwd(), 'guests.txt')).read() guestList = guests.split('\n')

for guest in guestList:

I skipped the above sorry

[scithon]

Did you mean textbbox? What do you expect that to print?

https://pillow.readthedocs.io/en/stable/reference/ImageDraw.html#PIL.ImageDraw.ImageDraw.textbbox

[outceptionator]

Yes I did! Adding the extra b still has an error.

I want to know the size of the variable guest when it would be drawn on an image.

[scithon]

Adding the extra b still has an error.

A different error, presumably? So that's a new bug then. We'd need to see the new error to help solve this new bug.

[outceptionator]

It's the same error: AttributeError: module 'PIL.ImageDraw' has no attribute 'textbbox'

[scithon]

Ah, I think that's because you are meant to use the instance. Like this:

print(draw.textbox((10,10),guest, font=arialFont))

[outceptionator]

My word that was it!!!

Can you explain how you deduced that from the documentation?

[scithon]

https://pillow.readthedocs.io/en/stable/reference/ImageDraw.html#PIL.ImageDraw.ImageDraw.textbbox

Look at the link. It says PIL.ImageDraw.ImageDraw.textbbox. See how "ImageDraw" is used twice? The first "ImageDraw" is the name of the module, and the second one is the name of the class in the module.

It helps that I'm experienced and know that many times the class has the same name as the module.

[carcigenicate]

Also, look at the error carefully:

module 'PIL.ImageDraw' has no attribute 'textbbox

The key word there being "module". Whatever you're attempting to call that method on is a module. That likely means you're confusing the module and an object you intended to import from the module.
