Hi Matthew,
Thanks. The problem is though, that I'm following the docs and using
another class to 'shape' my barchart ...
# Use this one for client
signup
class interests_class(Drawing):
format = 'gif'
def __init__(self, width=400, height=250, *args, **kw):
apply(Drawing.__init__,(self,width,height)+args,kw)
# set the chart
type
self.add(VerticalBarChart(), name='chart')
#
Title
self.add(String(200,240,''), name='title')
...........
if __name__=='__main__':
#use the standard 'save' method to save barchart.gif, barchart.pdf
etc
#for quick feedback while
working.
interests_class().save(formats=['gif','png','jpg','pdf'],outDir='.',fnRoot='barchart')
# Then I'm using the above class to create my barchart image ....
def interests_barchart(request):
d = interests_class()
d.chart.data=[ .... ]
# Give it a
title
if request.has_key('title'):
d.title.text = request['title']
# get a GIF (or PNG, JPG, or
whatever)
# binaryStuff = d.asString('gif')
return d
# I'd already tried your suggestion previously as in ...
## Takes the d object here
image = interests_barchart(request)
p.drawInlineImage(image, 100,350, width=100,height=100)
The problem is that the d object isn't actually a PIL object at all.
The barchart_interests function works with a Drawing PIL object, but
it doesn't inherit from it and in turn - it doesn't return a PIL
object. 'd' is a barchart_interests() object, it has no format
attribute and no convert() method. I can fake the format attribute but
I can't fake the convert method.
Strictly speaking then, d object should inherit from Drawing -
although the doc examples do it my way and not the other way. I'd
prefer not to have to rewrite the class.
The preferable solution would be to be able to get_file_contents()
from the HttpResponseObject somehow. Otherwise I'll have to write
multiple classes to output my barcharts in multiple ways. (This isn't
my only barchart).
Thanks
