Hi All. I've been formulating in my head a simple image editor. I actually started prototyping is some time ago in Java, but am liking Python more and more. My editor will be nowhere near the level of Gimp/ Photoshop, but I do need fast pixel level control and display. For instance, that means no automatic anti-aliasing and that I will be implementing my own line drawing algorithms.
I've got the high level architectual aspects of my program down, but am stuck on what graphics API to use. I want a canvas area of adjustable size which users can draw on with as little lag as possible. The canvas area will be composed of layers (i.e. I require an alpha channel) and I need to be able to zoom in and out of it (zoom levels will be at fixed intervals, so this can be simulated if need be.) I started looking at PyGame but realize that I need to integrate a GUI into the whole thing (or integrate the image into the GUI rather) and I didn't see a straightforward way to do that. Of course, I don't even know if PyGame is the right API for the job anyways :P Any thoughts or ideas that could help me get started? Thanks! -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
