vips pyramid builder also available via python api?

[fbuchinger]

Is the image pyramid builder vips dzsave also available via the python interface or do i have to invoke the vips binary for this functionality?

I am asking this because I plan to modify (e.g. blur, color adjust) and tile the image via the python api. if I can do everything within python this would save me from dumping out the VImage to the file system for the tile generation.

Hi, no, sorry, dzsave is part of vips8 and there's no vips7 wrapper for it. The supported vips Python binding is vips7 only.

You could try writing a tiny bit of C to call vips_dzsave():

I'll have a look at a patch to add a vips7 interface.

thanks for the feedback! I leave this issue open until you commit the patch?

OK, I'm working one something else right now, but I'll look at this soon.

I've added a vip7 interface to the pyramid builder:

You can call it from Python too. You have to embed options in the filename though, sadly.

I'll be part of 7.34 due in a week or so.
