the best way I found to display image in maya was to convert them using imf_copy or some other command application, execute a subprocess. You should take a look at the nconvert application... it supports over 300 image format... exept exr 32 bit (http://www.xnview.com/en/nconvert.html)
example: (note that this might not work perfectly as I copy/pasted this from a script ans didn't testd it) subprocess.Popen('imf_copy %s %s' % (source, dest), stdout = subprocess.PIPE, stderr = subprocess.STDOUT, shell=True, universal_newlines=True) Then using the maya UI controls to display the image... This is not the most flexible way but it works. As far as pyqt is concerned, i am just starting learning qt, so i am not sure if you can display jpg in qt windows without a image library like PIL. And btw PIL doesn't support a lot of format... I quicly ignored PIL because of the lack of format support. 2009/8/7 Jo Jürgens <jojurg...@gmail.com> > os.system('imgcvt.exe -f iff -t png '+ iffFile +' '+ pngFile) > > if you want to display iff files natively in pyqt, my guess is you will > have to write something in C (C++?) to make qt read iff files.
