I'm admittedly being a bit lazy, but does matplotlib let me read
in/manipulate jpeg images?  I'd like to do some custom cropping and
resizing.

Thanks, Randy

Not currently, but I would like to add load_png and load_jpg to the
image module.

For basic image resizing and cropping see ImageMagick's convert
function - the swiss army knife of image manipulation tools.

Or if you want to do it in Python, use the Python Imaging Library (PIL).

Yep, this is the approach I'm taking - thanks!
