I have an image in the Python Image Library. I'm trying to get it into PyGTK in color. Is there any way to do this cross-platform, preferably without writing to anything to the disk?
PIL apparently can't write XPMs. GTK will only take XPMs, that I can see. Therein lies the rub. I can ship over monochrome bitmaps via XBM, but I'd rather be able to ship over full color. (Use case, in case it matters: I am trying to embed a graphic into a text widget. This is going fine. Because I want the text widget to be able use different size text, and no one image can look right with everything from 8pt to 40pt text (all reasonable possibilities), I load a large image in from the disk and scale it down as needed; the images are designed to scale well and later I can make multiple source images if that is desirable. But I can't figure out how to get the scaled image into GTK. This surprises me.) If there's an easy Google search, it has eluded me. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
