Doodle to JPEG (or whatever)

wxPython Users

As a newbie, can someone point me in the right direction?

I wish to use part of the doodle demo code in my project. I then wish to display a number of doodles at roughly 1/64 (1/8H x 1/8W) of the original size. I think I can achieve this by saving the doodle in a standard format and just displaying it at its new size.

Q: Where would I start to be able to save a doodle in a standard format, like JPEG or PNG?

Thanks in advance.

Mike,

PIL, the Python Imaging Library can import and export many file formats.

Thanks, yes, I have had a look at that. It is the 'importing' that stumps
me, since the doodle doesn't start out life as a file, but rather a .. well,
um... a doodle. The format of a saved file (using superdoodle.py) is that of
a doodle (.ddl file) which PIL doesn't appear to support (and why should it,
I guess).

What I need to be able to do is use something like PIL to take a portion of
the screen and save it.

Can you point me to a PIL routine that might help?
