Hello,
My problem is the following : I would like to create an image using the matplolib facilities and then insert this image
in a <IMG SRC="*data*:*image*/???;base64 *.../> *element.
Then using Gecko (mozilla) and python + xpcom, I would try to interact with this image (zoom ...).
In order to succeed I feel I have to understand how a back-end is written.
It seems I have to start with the Figure class.
But then I can't find the image format, the way to return binary data or perhaps base64 data.
I don't want to save the figure in a file et then read it with <IMG SRC="theFile.png"/>.
The speed would be very low.
What is the process to add a new back-end ?
I wish the encode/decode base64 wil not take too much time for keeping the dynamism of gtk back-end (for instance).
What do you think about that ?
Thanks a lot,
Cyril.
You can always get the latest canvas buffer from
figure.canvas.tostring_rgb(). A quick pylab example would be:
from pylab import *
import base64
plot(rand(100))
a = gca()
c = a.figure.canvas
buf = base64.encodestring(c.tostring_rgb())
# I would suggest using PIL
import Image
x = Image.fromstring('RGB', c.get_width_height(), c.tostring_rgb())
# You can then get specific format output strings
s = x.tostring('xbm')
