I did this by coding a python-fu plugin for the gimp that listened on a network socket and accepted connections from Zope. You could also use PIL and do it all in python. Anthony

Anders Schneiderman wrote I'm trying to create a site for our intranet that will create text graphics that people can use to construct a web site ala Cooltext. For ex, I want to be able to let someone enter five different menu names, pick one of several color schemes/textures, and then spit back the graphics so they can copy them. Two questions:

1) Has anyone done this before, and if so how did they do it (and do you have code you'd be willing to share)?

2) If not, any suggestions on how to get started? Obviously, gimp on Windows is one solution, but I'm a bit daunted at the prospect of taking it on. Are there any apps designed for Windows that can be run dynamically w/o driving you crazy?

My Zope site will be running on an NT box, so linux-only software isn't an option.

Thanks, Anders
