The functionality of IM is superb, and that is the impetus for wanting to use it over other softwares/libraries. Ultimately, I want to use IM/Python to replicate something I did in GD/PHP. Using GD/PHP I was able to create thumbnails on-demand that I could output directly to the browser, rather than creating saving thumbnails to the disk. Is this possible with IM/Python? -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Image-manipluation-%28On-the-fly-thumbnail-creation%29-tp25456792p25514113.html Sent from the Python - tutor mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
[Tutor] Image manipluation (On-the-fly thumbnail creation)
I've recently delved into python, about a week or so ago; I'm trying to figure out how to create on-the-fly thumbnails. Are there python standard library modules I could/should use or should I use external libraries like: GD, Gimp, or ImageMagick? -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Image-manipluation-%28On-the-fly-thumbnail-creation%29-tp25456792p25456792.html Sent from the Python - tutor mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
