)
qr_code.add_data(data_to_encode)
qr_code.make()

# qr code image
qr_code_image = qr_code.make_image().convert('RGB')

# logo image 
logo = Image.open(logo_file_name)

# populate the position of the logo to center of QR code
logo_x_position = (qr_code_image.size[0] - logo.size[0]) // 2
logo_y_position = (qr_code_image.size[1] - logo.size[1]) // 2
logo_position = (logo_x_position, logo_y_position)

# insert logo image into qr code image
qr_code_image.paste(logo, logo_position)

# save QR code image
qr_code_image.save('toricode_qr.png')

print('QR code with logo successful generated as toricode_qr.png')
