PSDraw Module

The PSDraw module provides simple print support for PostScript printers. You can print text, graphics and images through this module.

class PIL.PSDraw.PSDraw(fp: IO[bytes] | None = None)

Sets up printing to the given file. If fp is omitted, sys.stdout.buffer is assumed.

begin_document(id: str | None = None) → None

Set up printing of a document. (Write PostScript DSC header.)

end_document() → None

Ends printing. (Write PostScript DSC footer.)

image(box: tuple[int, int, int, int], im: Image.Image, dpi: int | None = None) → None

Draw a PIL image, centered in the given box.

line(xy0: tuple[int, int], xy1: tuple[int, int]) → None

Draws a line between the two points. Coordinates are given in PostScript point coordinates (72 points per inch, (0, 0) is the lower left corner of the page).

rectangle(box: tuple[int, int, int, int]) → None

Draws a rectangle.

Parameters:

box – A tuple of four integers, specifying left, bottom, width and height.

setfont(font: str, size: int) → None

Selects which font to use.

Parameters:

• font – A PostScript font name

• size – Size in points.

text(xy: tuple[int, int], text: str) → None

Draws text at the given position. You must use setfont() before calling this method.
