# <span style={{ 'color': 'gray' }}>module</span>  pixeltable.functions.vision

import pixeltable as pxt
from pixeltable.functions import vision as pxtv

t.select(
    pxtv.bboxes_draw(t.img, boxes=t.boxes, labels=t.labels)

**Parameters:**

* **`bboxes`** (`pxt.Json[(Json`): List of bounding boxes, each either specified with absolute pixel coordinates or relative
  coordinates in \[0, 1].
* **`src_format`** (`Any`): Source format, one of 'xyxy', 'xywh', 'cxcywh'.
* **`dst_format`** (`Any`): Destination format, one of 'xyxy', 'xywh', 'cxcywh'.

## <span style={{ 'color': 'gray' }}>udf</span>  bboxes\_draw()

```python Signature theme={null}
@pxt.udf
bboxes_draw(
    img: pxt.Image,
    boxes: pxt.Json[(Json[(Int, *, labels: pxt.Json[(Json = None, color: pxt.String | None = None, box_colors: pxt.Json[(String = None, alpha: pxt.Float | None = None, fill: pxt.Bool = False, fill_alpha: pxt.Float | None = None, width: pxt.Int = 1, font: pxt.String | None = None, font_size: pxt.Int | None = None
) -> pxt.Image
```

Draws bounding boxes on the given image.

Labels can be any type that supports `str()` and is hashable (e.g., strings, ints, etc.).

Colors can be specified as common HTML color names (e.g., 'red') supported by PIL's
[`ImageColor`](https://pillow.readthedocs.io/en/stable/reference/ImageColor.html#imagecolor-module) module or as
RGB/RGBA hex codes (e.g., '#FF0000', '#FF0000FF'). If opacity isn't specified in the color string and
`alpha`/`fill_alpha` is `None`, defaults to 1.0 for box borders and 0.5 for filled boxes.

If no colors are specified, this function randomly assigns each label a specific color based on a hash of the label.

**Parameters:**

* **`img`** (`pxt.Image`): The image on which to draw the bounding boxes.
* **`boxes`** (`pxt.Json[(Json[(Int`): List of bounding boxes, each represented as \[xmin, ymin, xmax, ymax].
* **`labels`** (`Any`): List of labels for each bounding box.
* **`color`** (`Any`): Single color to be used for all bounding boxes and labels.
* **`box_colors`** (`Any`): List of colors, one per bounding box.
* **`alpha`** (`Any`): Opacity (0-1) of the bounding box borders and labels. If non-`None`, overrides any alpha in
  `color`/`box_colors`.
* **`fill`** (`Any`): Whether to fill the bounding boxes with color.
* **`fill_alpha`** (`Any`): Opacity (0-1) of the bounding box fill. If non-`None`, overrides any alpha in
  `color`/`box_colors`.
* **`width`** (`Any`): Width of the bounding box borders.
* **`font`** (`Any`): Name of a system font or path to a TrueType font file, as required by
  [`PIL.ImageFont.truetype()`](https://pillow.readthedocs.io/en/stable/reference/ImageFont.html#PIL.ImageFont.truetype).
  If `None`, uses the default provided by
  [`PIL.ImageFont.load_default()`](https://pillow.readthedocs.io/en/stable/reference/ImageFont.html#PIL.ImageFont.load_default).
* **`font_size`** (`Any`): Size of the font used for labels in points. Only used in conjunction with non-`None` `font` argument.

**Returns:**

* `pxt.Image`: The image with bounding boxes drawn on it.
