Glymur: a Python interface for JPEG 2000
|
|
----------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
**Glymur** is an interface to the OpenJPEG library
|
|
which allows one to read and write JPEG 2000 files from Python.
|
|
Glymur supports both reading and writing of JPEG 2000 images, but writing
|
|
JPEG 2000 images is currently limited to images that can fit in memory
|
|
|
|
In regards to metadata, most JP2 boxes are properly interpreted.
|
|
Certain optional JP2 boxes can also be written, including XML boxes and
|
|
XMP UUIDs. There is incomplete support for reading JPX metadata.
|
|
|
|
Glymur 0.6 works on Python versions 2.7, 3.3 and 3.4. If you have Python 2.6,
|
|
you should use the 0.5 series of Glymur.
|
|
|

Glymur Installation
|
|
===================
|
|
You can retrieve the source for Glymur from either of
|
|
|
|
* https://pypi.python.org/pypi/Glymur/ (stable releases)
|
|
* http://github.com/quintusdias/glymur (bleeding edge, use the devel branch)
|
|
|
|
but you should also be able to install Glymur via pip ::
|
|
|
|
$ pip install glymur
|
|
|
|
This will install a script **jp2dump** that can be used from the unix command
|
|
line for dumping JP2 metadata, so you should adjust your **$PATH**
|
|
environment variable to take advantage of it. For example, if you install
|
|
with pip's `--user` option on linux ::
|
|
|
|
$ export PATH=$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH
|
|
