my guess is that the "window" is the range of levels in the source image
that's being mapped to the 256 levels supported by most displays.
if "image" is an "L" or "I" image, you can use the "point" method to do
linear windowing:
scale = 256.0 / window_width
offset = -window_level * scale
out = image.point(lambda i: i * scale + offset, "L")
to implement non-linear transforms, use a lookup table instead (see the
"point" documentation for details).
hope this helps!
