PYGLET – Accessing Sprite Image

Last Updated : 05 Aug, 2021

In this article we will see how we can access image of the sprite in PYGLET module in python. Pyglet is easy to use but powerful library for developing visually rich GUI applications like games, multimedia etc. A window is a "heavyweight" object occupying operating system resources. Windows may appear as floating regions or can be set to fill an entire screen (fullscreen). A sprite is an instance of an image displayed on-screen. Multiple sprites can display the same image at different positions on the screen. Sprites can also be scaled larger or smaller, rotated at any angle and drawn at a fractional opacity. Image is loaded with the help of image module of pyglet. Sprite image can be image or animation to display.
We can create a window and sprite object with the help of commands given below :

# creating a window
window = pyglet.window.Window(width, height, title)

# creating a sprite object
sprite = pyglet.sprite.Sprite(img, x, y)

In order to create window we use image attribute with sprite object
Syntax : sprite.image
Argument : It takes no argument
Return : It returns AbstractImage or Animation object

Below is the implementation :

Python3

# importing pyglet module 
import pyglet 
import pyglet.window.key as key
  
# width of window 
width = 500
  
# height of window 
height = 500
  
# caption i.e title of the window 
title = "Geeksforgeeks"
  
# creating a window 
window = pyglet.window.Window(width, height, title) 
  
# text  
text = "Welcome to GeeksforGeeks"
 
# creating label with following properties
# font = cooper
# position = 250, 150
# anchor position = center
label = pyglet.text.Label(text, 
                          font_name ='Cooper', 
                          font_size = 16, 
                          x = 250,  
                          y = 150, 
                          anchor_x ='center',  
                          anchor_y ='center')


# creating a batch 
batch = pyglet.graphics.Batch()

# loading geeksforgeeks image
image = pyglet.image.load('gfg.png')



# creating sprite object
# it is instance of an image displayed on-screen
sprite = pyglet.sprite.Sprite(image, x = 200, y = 230)
  
# on draw event 
@window.event 
def on_draw(): 
      
    # clear the window 
    window.clear() 
      
    # draw the label
    label.draw() 
    
    # draw the image on screen
    sprite.draw()
      
# key press event     
@window.event 
def on_key_press(symbol, modifier): 
  
    # key "C" get press 
    if symbol == key.C: 
        
        # printing the message
        print("Key : C is pressed")
        
# image for icon 
img = image = pyglet.resource.image("gfg.png") 

# setting image as icon 
window.set_icon(img) 

# accessing image of the sprite
value = sprite.image

# creating text from sprite
text = "Image : " + str(value)

# setting text to the label
label.text = text
   
# start running the application 
pyglet.app.run()
