My experiences with ImageMagick (IM) are limited, but what experiences I have had have been good. 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
