2. Getting to Know the SimpleCV Framework > The Display
The Display
As much fun as loading and saving images may be, at some point it is also nice to see the images. The SimpleCV framework has two basic approaches to showing images:
-
Displaying them directly in a window
-
Opening a web browser to display the image
The first approach, showing the image in a window, has
been previously demonstrated with the show() command. Displaying the image in a web
browser is similar:
from SimpleCV import Image
img = Image("logo")
# This will show the logo image in a web browser
img.show(type="browser")
Notice that it uses the same show() function, but requires the argument:
type="browser". The major difference
between the browser and the window is that the window can capture events,
such as a signal to close the window. So far, the examples in this chapter
have assumed that the window should remain open until the program
completes. For larger and more complex programs, however, this might not
be the case.
