class PyTango.EncodedAttribute

decode_gray16(da, extract_as=PyTango._PyTango.ExtractAs.Numpy)

Decode a 16 bits grayscale image (GRAY16) and returns a 16 bits gray scale image.

param da:DeviceAttribute that contains the image type da:DeviceAttribute param extract_as:  defaults to ExtractAs.Numpy type extract_as:  ExtractAs return:the decoded data

• In case String string is choosen as extract method, a tuple is returned:

  width<int>, height<int>, buffer<str>

• In case Numpy is choosen as extract method, a numpy.ndarray is returned with ndim=2, shape=(height, width) and dtype=numpy.uint16.

• In case Tuple or List are choosen, a tuple<tuple<int>> or list<list<int>> is returned.

Warning

The PyTango calls that return a DeviceAttribute (like DeviceProxy.read_attribute() or DeviceProxy.command_inout()) automatically extract the contents by default. This method requires that the given DeviceAttribute is obtained from a call which DOESN’T extract the contents. Example:

dev = PyTango.DeviceProxy("a/b/c")
da = dev.read_attribute("my_attr", extract_as=PyTango.ExtractAs.Nothing)
enc = PyTango.EncodedAttribute()
data = enc.decode_gray16(da)

decode_gray8(da, extract_as=PyTango._PyTango.ExtractAs.Numpy)

Decode a 8 bits grayscale image (JPEG_GRAY8 or GRAY8) and returns a 8 bits gray scale image.

param da:DeviceAttribute that contains the image type da:DeviceAttribute param extract_as:  defaults to ExtractAs.Numpy type extract_as:  ExtractAs return:the decoded data

• In case String string is choosen as extract method, a tuple is returned:

  width<int>, height<int>, buffer<str>

• In case Numpy is choosen as extract method, a numpy.ndarray is returned with ndim=2, shape=(height, width) and dtype=numpy.uint8.

• In case Tuple or List are choosen, a tuple<tuple<int>> or list<list<int>> is returned.

data = enc.decode_gray8(da)

decode_rgb32(da, extract_as=PyTango._PyTango.ExtractAs.Numpy)

Decode a color image (JPEG_RGB or RGB24) and returns a 32 bits RGB image.

param da:DeviceAttribute that contains the image type da:DeviceAttribute param extract_as:  defaults to ExtractAs.Numpy type extract_as:  ExtractAs return:the decoded data

• In case String string is choosen as extract method, a tuple is returned:

  width<int>, height<int>, buffer<str>

• In case Numpy is choosen as extract method, a numpy.ndarray is returned with ndim=2, shape=(height, width) and dtype=numpy.uint32.

• In case Tuple or List are choosen, a tuple<tuple<int>> or list<list<int>> is returned.
