================== The aggdraw module ================== A high-quality graphics engine for PIL, based on Maxim Shemanarev's Anti-Grain Geometry library (from http://antigrain.com). The necessary AGG sources are included in the aggdraw source kit. Enjoy /F fredrik@pythonware.com http://www.pythonware.com NOTE: This is a patched version of the official package to support 64 bits systems. To use it on your projects, make sure you specify the dependency as "aggdraw == 1.1-64bits". You'd also need to make the distribution available at some place setuptools can reach with the find-links options, or re-use the branch hosted at Bitbucket: http://bitbucket.org/2degrees/aggdraw-64bits/ -------------------------------------------------------------------- Build instructions (all platforms) -------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. Check prerequisites. You need a C++ compiler to build this extension. The library comes with the necessary AGG sources included. The following additional libraries can be used: OpenType/TrueType freetype2 (2.1.10 or later is recommended) support http://www.freetype.org http://freetype.sourceforge.net 2. Configure. To enable freetype, you need to build the library somewhere, and then change the FREETYPE_ROOT variable in aggdraw's setup.py file so it points to the build location. If you don't want or need freetype support, you can leave the variable as is, or set it to None. 3. Build. The library uses a standard setup.py file, and you can use all standard setup.py commands. I recommend the following steps: $ python setup.py build_ext -i $ python selftest.py (if you're lazy, you can skip the above and just install the library; setup.py will make sure the right stuff is built before it's installed). 4. Install. If the selftest succeeds, you can install the library: $ python setup.py install 5.
