Program to make Indian Flag in Python | Step by Step

Here, We'll be making Indian Flag in Python using Spyder tool which is a part of Anaconda interface. It is the beginner's practice problem for python programmers.

Prerequisite:

The only prerequisite for this code is little knowledge of basic python programming. You may install anaconda from here if you don't have any interpreter for python.

Approach:

We will be using simple characteristic equations of lines and circles in this code. It is recommended to try on your own before getting to the solution altogether.

Import these 3 packages for the functions used in this code.

import skimage               # for using image processing functions
import os
from skimage import io       # for using imshow function

1. Read an image of at least the expected dimensions of the flag.

image2 = io.imread('C:\Users\geeksforgeeks\Desktop\index.jpg')

2. Let us assume the dimensions of the flag to be 189px high and 267px wide.

x = 189/2
y = 267/2
r = 189/6

3. Start two for loops to iterate to every pixel of the image.

for i in range(0, 189):
    for j in range(0, 267):

Inside the inner loop perform 3-(a) and 3-(b). 3-(a). By dividing the image into 3 equal part height-wise color the image in orange, white and green.

if i in range(0, 189/3):
            image2[i][j] = [255, 128, 64]       # Color coding for Orange 
        elif i in range(189/3, 189*2/3):
            image2[i][j] = [255, 255, 255]      # Color coding for White
        else:
            image2[i][j] = [0, 128, 0]          # Color coding for Green

3-(b). Now it's time to draw the circle at the center for the Ashoka Chakra, using equation of circle.

if (( pow((x-i), 2) + pow((y-j), 2) ) = pow(r-2, 2)):
            image2[i][j] = [0, 0, 255]

4. To draw spokes of the Chakra, we need to use equation of lines which stays inside the circle only, here I have drawn 4 x 2 spokes, however all 24 spokes can be drawn by using 12 equations as each line leads to two opposite spokes.

for i in range(189/3, 189*2/3):
    for j in range(267/3, 267*2/3):
        if ((i == 189/2) or (j == 267/2) or (i+39 == j or
                (i+39+j == 266))) and (( pow((x-i), 2) + 
                       pow((y-j), 2) ) <= pow(r, 2)) :
            image2[i][j] = [0, 0, 255]

5. It's time to view our image now so we will use <mshow function.

io.imshow(image2)

And Over Indian Flag in just 5 steps. The overall code will look something like this...

io.imshow(image2)                           # Output
