          | OpenMaya.MImage.create | ( |  | ) |  | 
      
 
create(width, height, channels=4, type=kByte) -> self

of the given size. If an object was already in memory, it is released first.
* width (unsigned int) - the desired image's width in pixels.
* height (unsigned int) - the desired image's height in pixels.
* channels (unsigned int) - the desired number of channels per pixel.
* type (int) - the desired pixel format (kByte or kFloat, see MImage.pixelType() description for details.)

filter(sourceFormat, targetFormat, scale=1.0, offset=1.0) -> self
Modify the content of the image by applying a filter.
The dimension of the image remains the same; only the RGBA components get affected.
* sourceFormat (MImageFilterFormat) - the format of the source image.
* targetFormat (MImageFilterFormat) - the format of the resulting image.* scale (float) - vary depending on the source/target format.
* offset (float) - vary depending on the source/target format.
The scale argument for this filter can vary from -256.0 to 256.0, although typical values range from 1.0 to 10.0.
The offset argument is currently ignored and should be left to the default value of 0.0.
