Hi,
Got it. Thought it would be nice to share it. What set me on the wrong foot
completely was that writing gif files is not possible due to copyright issues.
Below is a very simple version of a conversion function for Group 4 Tif to png.
import wx, os, time
def g4TifToPng(tif, png = None):
if png is None:
png = os.path.splitext(tif)[0] + ".png"
myImg = wx.Image(tif)
if myImg.GetImageCount(tif) == 2:
SECONDPAGE = 1
myImg = wx.Image(tif, type = wx.BITMAP_TYPE_TIF, index = SECONDPAGE)
# myImg = myImg.GetSubImage((0, 2338, 3304, 2338)) # offset h & w, rect
h & w
myImg.SaveFile(png, wx.BITMAP_TYPE_PNG)
newW, newH = myImg.GetSize()
print "%s:: writing file %s (%s x %s pixels)" % \
(time.strftime("%H:%M:%S"), png, newW, newH)
g4TifToPng(tif = "c:/temp/somefile.tif")
Cheers!!

Hi Wayne,
Yep, I considered using PIL, but that package won't read so-called Group 4
Tiffs
[1]. They're two-page, black-and-white scanned forms. I need part of the second
form (i.e., the backside of a certificate). The page contains some hand-written
info which needs to be presented in a simple data entry program, which I made
using Tkinter.
The forms are confidential so they may not leave the company network. And the
IT
droids are somewhat paranoid so it's very time-consuming to get some new
executable 'inside' the company network. Beeeh, formalities... :-(

Have you tried using the PIL?
http://www.pythonware.com/products/pil/
import Image
i = Image.open("file.tiff")
i.save(open('file.png', 'w'), filetype='png')
I don't know if that was previously suggested, but it should work on any
platform with PIL installed.
HTH,
Wayne
