Hello list,
In working with matplotlib in a Python course we discovered an inconsistency in
importing various image files. When importing a JPEG file a numpy array
containing ints (0-255) is returned, but when a PNG is imported an array
containing floats (0-1) is returned.
The obvious solution is checking for filetype during read and then dividing by
255, but this seems awkward to do outside the library. Also, as discussed at
[1] there is the matter of 16 (or 8+) bit images, which might complicate things.
Is there a consensus on how to handle this in code using matplotlib?
Kind regards,
Kasper Loopstra.
