[Image-SIG] Printing Matplotlib (MPL) Graphs in PIL?

[Kevin Cazabon]

Here's a module that will print any PIL image for you... it's been a long time since I've modified it or tested it, but it should work on Windows systems at least.  It was based on some code from someone else (I think I referenced them in the code), but cleaned up and expanded.  There's some sample usages at the bottom I believe too.

ImagePrintWin.py is what you want... I've included some random test files too.  Good luck!


It also includes a Tkinter class for a "Print" dialog, including print preview.

(I'll gladly append more open licensing if anyone wants it, or if Fred is willing to add yet another hack of mine to the standard Library... sorry this one isn't so clean)

Kevin.

I don't necessarily want the graphics to appear in a window, but would like to print them directly once they are ready. Can one put in a page feed, so that images don't all fall on the same page or cut across pages?
