If it is not for the learning how to do it you can use Ron Bicker's Photo product which does what you want and then some.

Hi all,
I'm trying to make an external method that creates a thumbnail of an image on the fly. I want to give it the url of the image and return the image data. It should look something like:
<dtml-var "MakeThumb('/path/to/my/image.jpg', (64, 32))">
I figured out already that I should use a StringIO object to store the raw image data in, so that PIL has an object to work with. The only two things I'm struggling with still are:
- How do you get the data of the image in the StringIO object? - How do you return the thumbnail image?
Hope that somebody can help with this.
Cheers,
Pieter
