Here's what I am trying to do.
I have a template called "index.html", somewhere containing an image like this:
<img class="img-circle" src="/image?imei={{i}}&s={{s}}">
In flask, I have a handler for the /image url like this:
@app.route('/image', methods=['GET'])
def image():
imei = request.args.get('imei')
dt = request.args.get('s').split("/")
return someFunction(imei,dt) <-- SHOULD THIS BE RETURN?
someFunction generates a Matplotlib image. The image looks correct while saved to disk, but I do not know how to "return" this image so that it renders correctly in image.html. Here is what I am currently doing following ( Python Matplotlib to smtplib ):
def somefunction(imei,dt)
...
#plt is valid and can be saved to disk
plt.tight_layout()
#plt.show() <-- this looks correct when uncommented
buf = io.BytesIO()
plt.savefig(buf, format = 'png')
buf.seek(0)
print(buf.read()) <-- prints a bunch of stuff
return buf.read() <-- this does not work
The aformentioned "bunch of stuff" looks like this:
b'\x89PNG\r\n\x1a\n\x00\x00\x00\rIHDR\x00\x00\x03 \x00\x00\x02X\x08\x06\x00\x00\x00
How do I do this? Currently Flask bombs with: ValueError: View function did not return a response
Try:
@app.route("/image")
def image():
ret = # create raw image data w/matplotlib
resp = Response(response=ret,
status=200,
mimetype="image/png")
return resp
I have not tried this, it might not work.
