[17:51:08] <myusuf3> wiredfool

[17:51:12] <myusuf3> here is what I am getting

[17:51:15] <myusuf3> gist incoming

[17:51:23] <wiredfool> heya myusuf3

[17:51:32] <myusuf3> wiredfool hey! :)

[17:52:52] <myusuf3> wiredfool so here is the code I am using to generate it

[17:53:00] <myusuf3> and the resultant image is in comments

[17:53:01] <myusuf3> https://gist.github.com/myusuf3/578107d9b4facef014cd

[17:55:17] <wiredfool> k. so, jaggies are 2 things. Certainly the alpha//bgcolor issue

[17:55:27] <wiredfool> probably antialias as well

[17:56:28] <wiredfool> fix for the first is to effectively only draw the fonts in alpha by filling the blank image with (fontcolor,0)

[17:56:43] <wiredfool> in your case blank = Image.new('RGBA', base.size, (255,255,255,0))

[17:57:30] <wiredfool> hey wait. Pillow on the iPhone?

[17:57:48] <myusuf3> no this is going to on django server

[17:57:53] <wiredfool> ah

[17:58:34] <myusuf3> is there pillow for iPhone

[17:58:42] <wiredfool> not that I know of

[17:59:30] <myusuf3> because iPhone has image manipulation stuff plus much easier

[17:59:36] <myusuf3> with interface builder etc

[17:59:39] <myusuf3> ok

[17:59:44] <myusuf3> so what were you suggesting?

[18:00:11] <wiredfool> line 6: blank = Image.new('RGBA', base.size, (255,255,255,0))

[18:00:37] <myusuf3> yessir

[18:00:39] <myusuf3> looks greaT!

[18:01:12] <wiredfool> does it look antialiased?

[18:01:27] <myusuf3> refresh gist

[18:02:11] <wiredfool> yep. freetype to the rescue. so much easier than manual antialiasing

[18:02:32] <myusuf3> wiredfool awesome! have you gotten with working on heroku

[18:02:39] <myusuf3> I am not sure it comes with freetype

[18:03:15] <wiredfool> not with pillow. I've just done an IRC bot on heroku

[18:03:43] <wiredfool> also, you're probably going to need a similar but opposite trick for the black text at the bottom

[18:04:18] <myusuf3> shit

[18:04:22] <myusuf3> just noticed text

[18:04:30] <wiredfool> you can draw a black rectangle there

[18:05:20] <myusuf3> know of any tricks to get a quick dimensions for something on page

[18:06:05] <wiredfool> pillow HEAD has a patch for the font stuff so that the bounding box of the text is correct

[18:06:29] <myusuf3> its multiple bounds

[18:06:30] <wiredfool> but it's only off by ascenders, iirc

[18:06:34] <myusuf3> I got dimensions

[18:06:41] <myusuf3> how do i draw a box.

[18:07:13] <wiredfool> http://pillow.readthedocs.org/en/latest/reference/ImageDraw.html#PIL.ImageDraw.PIL.ImageDraw.Draw.rectangle

[18:07:44] <myusuf3> would i draw this on blank image

[18:08:02] <wiredfool> yep

[18:08:48] <wiredfool> the whole point of the bg color is that you're trying to antialias using the alpha channel into the same color, otherwise you'll get a little bleed of the bg color into the outline

[18:09:58] <wiredfool> so if you prefill the background to match the font you're drawing, the outline that you're picking up matches the core of the font.

[18:11:05] <wiredfool> so if you fill everything below ~300px or so black, it should come out right.

[18:11:27] <myusuf3> http://cl.ly/image/3F1X2g2h0G3k/Screen%20Shot%202014-07-22%20at%202.09.12%20PM.png

[18:11:45] <wiredfool> fill with (0,0,0,0)

[18:11:49] <wiredfool> has to be 0 opacity

[18:12:29] <myusuf3> yessir getting the hang of it

[18:12:34] <myusuf3> that worked beautifully

[18:15:03] <wiredfool> cool

[18:17:54] <myusuf3> wiredfool thanks so much for your help

[18:18:03] <myusuf3> that could haven taken much longer than it needed to

[18:18:20] <wiredfool> sure thing. glad to help

[18:30:15] <myusuf3> wiredfool one last thing

[18:30:30] <myusuf3> lets say I wanted to chop up and place the red and green boxes as needed

[18:30:32] <myusuf3> thoughts?

[18:30:43] <myusuf3> so lets say they need to be all green

[18:36:38] <wiredfool> hmmm

[18:37:40] <wiredfool> what I'd do is make a white mask with the borders, and probably the grey line -- 100% opacity there, and 0% elsewhere

[18:37:56] <wiredfool> then programatically make background colors in rects, and apply the mask on top of it

[18:38:44] <myusuf3> wiredfool well I would also need to do arrows

[18:38:51] <myusuf3> i have a picture like this to start with

[18:38:53] <wiredfool> the roundrect corners would probably need to be antialiased, so you'd be doing the same bg color trick as the fonts

[18:39:18] <myusuf3> is there cutting and composition stuff with PIL

[18:39:21] <myusuf3> that would be so much easier

[18:41:11] <myusuf3> wiredfool refresh gist

[18:41:41] <myusuf3> wait

[18:41:47] <myusuf3> I could just have a bunch of base images

[18:41:51] <myusuf3> nvm :)

[18:41:57] <myusuf3> laziness FTW

[18:43:03] <wiredfool> well, you could definitely crop out a red box and a green box and use Image.paste

[18:44:35] <wiredfool> I'd hate to have do all the image combinations manuallt

[22:55:21] <aclark> wiredfool: any thoughts on eric's thoughts? :-)

[22:58:50] <wiredfool> aclark:

[22:58:56] <wiredfool> sorta

[22:59:04] <wiredfool> been meaning to email

[23:00:02] <wiredfool> load in TiffImagePlugin is probably the most complicated

[23:00:17] <wiredfool> not that that is a _good_ thing

[23:00:29] <wiredfool> but it is a thing, and he's got a complicated format.

[23:07:23] <wiredfool> will email him shortly

[23:08:25] <wiredfool> meh. debugging is hard. lets add features

[23:10:43] <aclark> cool thanks
