Classes

class ImageFeed (tk_master, size='original', feed_object=None, fallback_size=(800, 600))

A widgets that easily allows showing a camerafeed (or any PIL image feed) if the object has a method callled get, which returns a PIL image.

feed_object Any object having get method that returns a PIL image size Tuple of (x, y) in pixels or "original" or a float scaling factor where values larger than 1 incease feed's size.
