hi ! i would like to write a server side python script that generate .pdf documents.
for the moment i have Python 2.7 installed server side and matplolib installed server side too. A simple script that create a simple plot and generate a .png picture works. this is the script i use : #------------------------------------------- # to access standard output : import sys # select a non-GUI backend : import matplotlib matplotlib.use('Agg') #matplotlib.use("cairo.pdf") #matplotlib.use('PDF') # import plotting module : import matplotlib.pyplot as plt # generate the plot : plt.plot([1,2,3,2,3,4]) # print the content type (what's the data type) # the new line is embedded, using '\n' notation : print "Content-Type: image/png\n" # print "Content-Type: image/PDF\n" # print "Content-type: application/pdf" # output directly to webserver, as a png file : plt.savefig(sys.stdout, format='png') # plt.savefig(sys.stdout, format='PDF') # plt.savefig( "test.pdf", format='pdf' ) #----------------------------------------------- I am wondering how to do the same thing but with sending a pdf file instead of a png picture. (the # are for all the things i tried) Does someone know ? thanks. jean-claude ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Virtualization is moving to the mainstream and overtaking non-virtualized environment for deploying applications. Does it make network security easier or more difficult to achieve? Read this whitepaper to separate the two and get a better understanding. http://p.sf.net/sfu/hp-phase2-d2d _______________________________________________ Matplotlib-users mailing list Matplotlib-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/matplotlib-users
