Hi Mark

I'm not sure if you are thinking to run the .qtz file server side or client side.

Sounds like you are thinking server side in which case you made need to create an App for the .qtz file and run that from cmd line and then get the results in whatever way as a web native file jpeg, h264, etc. Cocoa is Not my dept so take that with advised tonne of sea-salt.

Another route is an Applescript command to have Quartz Composer open the file, Viewer Window and run it, but the .qtz file would need to export the result(s) itself. Apple has a image exporter plugin for QC in the developer example files, well it did for 10.5 at least. There are other 3rd party ways to get live visuals out of QC — not least (soon to become beta) Syphon

Easier way to implement is client side but this restricts the .qtz to Mac OS X clients only on Safari browser and then only Macs that have the correct OS to run your .qtz. There is documentation on Apple site for how to do this. Start with these:
Adding Compositions to Webpages and Widgets
Introduction to Quartz Composer WebKit Plug-in JavaScript Reference

Hope this helps a little or at least encourages. Interested to see the results.

Hello,

I am new to Quartz Composer,

I want to create my own .qtz file and then display the resulting image on the web. So I am trying to understand how to apply a .qtz to a local file via the command line, or directly in php.

I have tried both CoreImageTool and cifilter, but they only seem to work on the builtin Core Image functions.

What am I missing?

Thanks in advance.
