When using Image.new(...) from PIL importing image what does size start at?

Say I use this code

img = Image.new('RGB', (500,500), "white")

Is the maximum of the created area 499 or 500? I understand that the minimum is 0 but I can not find documentation on if the 500 in this case would be inclusive or exclusive.

For Image.new(mode, size, color), size is given as a (width, height)-tuple, in pixels.

You can confirm this by checking the pixels of an image with img.getdata():

img = Image.new('RGB', (500,500), "white")
pixels = list(img.getdata())
len(pixels)
250000

So yes, you get 500 * 500 pixels with your example.
