If you are familiar with LaTeX, an easy solution would be to automatically generate a LaTeX document that includes your images. This also allows you to add captions, scale the images and much more. You can then run the generated document through pdflatex and you have a nice looking report. Regards, Kjell Magne Fauske http://www.fauskes.net -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
