Miscellaneous routines (scipy.misc)

Various utilities that don’t have another home.

Note that the Python Imaging Library (PIL) is not a dependency of SciPy and therefore the pilutil module is not available on systems that don’t have PIL installed.

ascent() Get an 8-bit grayscale bit-depth, 512 x 512 derived image for easy use in demos The image is derived from accent-to-the-top.jpg at http://www.public-domain-image.com/people-public-domain-images-pictures/ :Parameters: None :Returns: ascent : ndarray convenient image to use for testing and demonstration ..
