Hmmmmmm... Well if you wanted easy, how about creating a library of images with Gimp and use CSS for variations in appearance on the web page? Joseph On Wed, 09 Oct 2002 15:34:29 -0400, Anders Schneiderman wrote
Joseph,
At this point, I'm most interested in creating buttons, banners, and other graphic elements for some web-creating tools we're developing. From what I can see from the documentation for PIL and DevIL, it's possible to do some of this, but they don't seem to have the scope of features that the world of Gimp/Photoshop/Paint Shop Pro offer.
I could be wrong, though. If anyone has examples on their website of using PIL or DevIL for sophisticated web graphic work that involves creating new images, I'd love to check it out. For ex, the simplest thing I want to do is to let a user type in text & choose between several colors and styles and then generate a bunch of buttons, which might be bevelled, plus a page banner graphic. Can I do this in PIL w/o driving myself nuts? If so, do you have any exs of what the code to do so looks like? I've seen posts where someone claimed that you can do this in PIL but I've never seen any examples & didn't see a relatively painless way to do it explained in the (very brief) documentation.
Thanks, Anders

PIL and DevIL are two other libs that I have ran across for dynamic image generation (and PyOpenGL of course). Sounds neat.

Eventually the code will run on a Linux server, but for now I'm on a Windows box. Has anyone ever done this? If so, any pointers on how to go about calling Gimp from a Zope product?
Thanks, Anders Schneiderman
