# Blender.Image module and the Image PyType object

"""
The Blender.Image submodule.

Image
=====

This module provides access to B{Image} objects in Blender.

Example::
  import Blender
  from Blender import Image
  #
  image = Image.Load("/path/to/my/image.png")    # load an image file
  print "Image from", image.getFilename(),
  print "loaded to obj", image.getName())
  image.setXRep(4)                               # set x tiling factor
  image.setYRep(2)                               # set y tiling factor
  print "All Images available now:", Image.Get()
"""

def Load (filename):
  """
  Load the image called 'filename' into an Image object.
  @type filename: string
  @param filename: The full path to the image file.
  @rtype:  Blender Image
  @return: A Blender Image object with the data from I{filename}.
  """

def New (name):
  """
  Create a new Image object (not implemented yet!).
  @type name: string
  @param name: The name of the new Image object.
  @rtype: Blender Image
  @return: A new Blender Image object.
  @warn: This function wasn't implemented yet.  It simply returns None.
  """

def Get (name = None):
  """
  Get the Image object(s) from Blender.
  @type name: string
  @param name: The name of the Image object.
  @rtype: Blender Image or a list of Blender Images
  @return: It depends on the I{name} parameter:
      - (name): The Image object called I{name}, None if not found;
      - (): A list with all Image objects in the current scene.
