    Wow. Excellent.
Another example of the excellence of comp.lang.python and it's
contributors.

I'll have to take a look at this script and see if I can

> Image Display and Printing demo.

> Demonstrates a number of techniques for displaying and printing images
using
> the PythonWin MFC framework.  This method of printing is suitable for
> "automatic" printing, and so, uses the default printer settings.

> As this was ripped out of a larger app, I left some other stuff in as
well:
>     *) The pixel value under the cursor is displayed in the title bar.
>     *) You can draw up to four circles on the image using the mouse.
>     *) After four circles are drawn, you can drag them to new locations.
>     *) You can delete a circle with the delete or backspace key.
>     *) Right click on the image to get an options menu (print only for
now).

> Usage:
>     from the windows command line:
>         PythonWin.exe /app path/DisplayImage.py [-p -m mag] [imagePath]
>         where:
>             path:      The directory containing this script.
>             -p:        If present, print the image and exit.
>             -m mag:    Only used if -p present, the magnification to print
at,
>                        defaults to 3.
>             imagePath: The image to open and display.
>         You may need to supply the PythonWin.exe path as well.
>         If you use the -p option, you must supply the imagePath as well.
>         If no imagePath is given, an open file dialog is used to get the
image.
>
>     from the Python/PythonWin command prompt (or, within a script):
>         import DisplayImage
>         DisplayImage.displayImage() # Use file dialog to get and display
an
>                                     # image
>         DisplayImage.displayImage(imgPath) # display given image
>         DisplayImage.printImage(imgPath, mag) # print image at mag.
>
> Requires:  PIL (Python Imaging Library)
>            PythonWin (Build 125 or later)
