Hi, I think I know the answer to my next question already, at least to the first part of it: No. But what about the second part? Is there a some easy way to make PIL work with Jython (easy mostly meaning with no JNI tricks) or what would be a recommended way (or module) of accomplishing the same things that PIL allows you to do? I know PIL is C and unlikly to be "ported" to Java etc, but I don't know if someone knows if there is something equivalent to PIL in Java that could be used instead, maybe with a PIL-like interface (to allow {P,J}ython client code to stay unchanged)? Regards, Dinu |

This page contain a functional comparision of the two: http://www.sun.com/software/imaging/Comparison/imaging_function.html regards, Samuele Pedroni. |
