Advice on Images

Pictures, photos, images, etc. can all be saved to your desktop using a screenshot app. Below is the website to download and install a free screenshot app for your computer.

Most websites do not allow downloading of their images and will show copyright information. Using a screenshot app is safer. Unless you already have a favorite screenshot that you are using, the Lightshot app is very easy to use. Remember to set "jpg" as the extension or format when saving your images. Try to save your images with simple, short names and implement them in Python.

Suggestions for coding with images in Python that you can experiment with:

• Take screenshots of famous people and create questions to identify who that person is.

• Take screenshots of math problems and answers. Using Python, the image of a math problem can be displayed first, followed by the image of the answer afterwards. 

• Displaying images pertaining to science, geology, maps, astronomy, English, etc. and creating questions accordingly.

Below is one short example of math to be viewed only.

Note: Do not copy and paste the codes below into Python. Because you do not have the image files, Python will display errors about not being able to find the image files to load. Look at the codes below and just see how the codes flow. Also, a little bit of Python basics on YouTube will always be helpful. 

from PIL import Image     #this code needs to be executed one time only, before the image code can display the picture

print('')

print('Look at the math problem or math problems.')

print('Write down the problem on your paper.')

print('Solve using pencil and paper.')

print('')

img=Image.open('exponents_1.jpg')                #1st math problem image will be displayed

img.show()

input('Press enter to view the solution when ready! ')  #when the user press Enter, the Answer image code will be executed

img=Image.open('exponents_1s.jpg')                #answer to 1st math problem image will be displayed

img.show()

print('')

print('Close image when done as needed so it doesn\'t clog up your screen.')

print('')

input('When ready press enter to continue to the next problem. ')  #when user press Enter, the next lines of code will be executed

print('')

print('Look at the math problem or math problems.')

print('Write down the problem on your paper.')

print('Solve using pencil and paper.')

print('What does that equal to?')

print('')

img=Image.open('exponents_2.jpg')                  #2nd math problem image will be displayed

img.show()

input('Press enter to view the solution when ready! ')   #when the user press Enter, the Answer image code will be executed

img=Image.open('exponents_2s.jpg') #answer to 2nd math problem image will be displayed

img.show()

print('')

print('Close image when done as needed so it doesn\'t clog up your screen.')

print('')

print('You are all done, great job!')

Note: See how the codes are repeated with just different image files added in order to create more questions.

Have fun creating questions!
