ICO-FI Windows icon¶
Extensions: .ico
An ICO format based on the Freeimage library.
This format supports grayscale, RGB and RGBA images.
The freeimage plugin requires a freeimage binary. If this binary is not available on the system, it can be downloaded by either
- the command line script
imageio_download_bin freeimage
- the Python method
imageio.plugins.freeimage.download()
Parameters for reading¶
- makealpha : bool
- Convert to 32-bit and create an alpha channel from the AND- mask when loading. Default False. Note that this returns wrong results if the image was already RGBA.
