How can I fill an existing image with a desired color?
(I am using from PIL import Image
and from PIL import ImageDraw
)
This command creates a new image filled with a desired color
image = Image.new("RGB", (self.width, self.height), (200, 200, 200))
But I would like to reuse the same image without the need of calling "new" every time.
Have you tried:
image.paste(color, box)
where box
can be a 2-tuple giving the upper left corner, a 4-tuple defining the left, upper, right, and lower pixel coordinate, or None
(same as (0, 0)
).
Since you want to fill the entire image, you can use the following:
image.paste( (200,200,200), (0, 0, image.size[0], image.size[1]))
