PyDye

======

**PyDye** is a python graphics library for OS X, powered by Apple's Quartz graphics layer.

Features

---------

- Read and write common image formats (png, jpg, tif, bmp, etc)

- Bezier paths

- Gradients

- Affine transforms

- Pixel-level access for raster graphics

- "Pythonic" API

Why?

-----

### If your target platform is Mac OS X

PyDye "just works". It has no third-party dependencies. It uses OS X's native graphics layer, so you get high quality and performance out of the box

Here are a couple of short examples of what it looks like:

#### Drawing a circle

```python

with Image(800, 600) as img:

    Oval(center=(400, 300), radius=100).fill(color=RGB(1, 0, 0))

img.save('~/Pictures/Circle.png')

```

#### Vignetting an image

```python

overlay = Gradient(start=RGBA(0, 0, 0, 0), stop=RGBA(0, 0, 0, 0.9))

with Image(path='~/Pictures/blueSky.jpg') as img:

    overlay.draw_radial_in_rect(img.bounds())

img.preview()

```

### If your target platform is not Mac OS X

See *Why Not*.

Why Not?

---------

 - It's not cross-platform - it only works on Mac OS X.

 - It's still in alpha.

Requirements

-------------

- Mac OS X 10.7 or newer

#### Dependencies already bundled with OS X

- Python 2.7

- PyObjC
