Re: [matplotlib-devel] Adding more image format support...
2010/7/6 Michael Droettboom md...@stsci.edu: One solution to this may be to add an optional dependency on PIL, and if found save JPEG files (and maybe some of the other esoteric formats PIL supports). The work done a couple of years back to manage the supported file types should make this pretty easy. I wrote a backend for PIL, if there is interest, I can show the code. But it's just so easy, and maybe I'm just interfering with the pyplot internals, so fwiw. Friedrich -- This SF.net email is sponsored by Sprint What will you do first with EVO, the first 4G phone?

Re: [matplotlib-devel] Adding more image format support...
Thanks for the offer. In the meantime, I committed something myself for this. (I should have written back to the list, sorry...) I'd still be interested in seeing your patch in case there's something extra or better in it that mine doesn't do.

[matplotlib-devel] Adding more image format support...
We've had some requests from internal users here at STScI to make it easier to save JPEG files directly from matplotlib. We currently support JPEG saving from the Gtk* and Wx* backends (because those libraries come with JPEG saving support), but not in the Tk backend that most of our users use. One solution to this may be to add an optional dependency on PIL, and if found save JPEG files (and maybe some of the other esoteric formats PIL supports). The work done a couple of years back to manage the supported file types should make this pretty easy. While adding a hard dependency on PIL is probably not a good idea, are there any objections to making it a soft dependency?

None here, especially when the alternative is writing our own bindings to the jpeg library.
