After I floated up in the Photo Album vs Image Viewer thread
here yesterday, 2004-04-06, providence would have it
that today a link for a Python Album Generator showed up
in the NewsGroup comp.lang.python ....

A glimpse of what the Arizona desert east of Phoenix
toward Globe on highway US 60 looked like
last Sunday April 04, 2004 ....

The slide show was generated using
a locally edited version of the Python program
called pyAlbum ....

[ 7 KB ]

It took about 100 Seconds on this machine
to generate the SlideShow for 31 images,
which includes ....

Generating ThumbNails
Re-Sizing Images
Writing a CSS Style Sheet
Writing the Index HTML Page
Generating the Individual HTML Pages

This machine ....

Compaq ...... 250 MHz
Memory ...... 192 MB
System ...... Win98_SE
Python ...... 2.3 Enthought Edition
PIL ......... 1.1.4

So, for a S L O W machine,
100 Seconds ain't too bad ....

The edited version that I used ....

The thumbnails looked little to sharp
(hard to see what it was showing)
Othere then that the album looked very nice :-)

Cousin CoMa ....

Thanks for the kind words ....

I also think the ThumbNails are somewhat hard to see
and will try to regenerate with just a bit larger size ....

This is simple since I only have to enter a different scale factor
when prompted, and see if I get any improvement ....

The ThumbNails were generated from 800x600 originals
using a 0.125 ( 1/8 ) scale factor ....

The Images were generated from 800x600 originals
using a 0.6 ( 3/5 ) scale factor ....

This is my first attempt at using PIL, the Python Imaging Library
add-on package, for anything other than quick single-image tests
and I'm still learning what it can and can't do well ....

Since pyAlbum is free, open-source, VERY small,
and packs a BUNCH of functionality into that small package,
I think it is useful now and can improve even more in the future ....
