Hands-On Genetic Algorithms with Python

The Pillow library

Pillow is a currently maintained fork of the original Python Imaging Library (PIL). It offers support for opening, manipulating, and saving image files of various formats. Since it allows us to handle image files, draw shapes, control their transparency, and manipulate pixels, we will use it as our main tool in creating the reconstructed image.

The home page of this library can be found here: https://python-pillow.org/.

A typical installation of Pillow uses the pip command, as follows:

pip install Pillow

The Pillow library uses the PIL namespace. If you have the original PIL library already installed, you will have to uninstall it first. More information can be found in the documentation, which is located at https://pillow.readthedocs.io/en/stable/index.html ...
