class PIL.TiffImagePlugin.ImageFileDirectory_v2(ifh='II*x00x00x00x00x00', prefix=None)[source]

Bases: _abcoll.MutableMapping

This class represents a TIFF tag directory. To speed things up, we don’t decode tags unless they’re asked for.

Exposes a dictionary interface of the tags in the directory:

ifd = ImageFileDirectory_v2()
ifd[key] = 'Some Data'
ifd.tagtype[key] = 2
print(ifd[key])
'Some Data'

Individual values are returned as the strings or numbers, sequences are returned as tuples of the values.

The tiff metadata type of each item is stored in a dictionary of tag types in ~PIL.TiffImagePlugin.ImageFileDirectory_v2.tagtype. The types are read from a tiff file, guessed from the type added, or added manually.

Data Structures:

  • self.tagtype = {}
    • Key: numerical tiff tag number
    • Value: integer corresponding to the data type from ~PIL.TiffTags.TYPES

New in version 3.0.0.

as_dict()[source]
