I would like to generate a jpeg or png file using the Pyx module. I found pyx.canvas.writeGSfile() which I tried to use in the following code:
from pyx import *
def mark(x, y):
return path.circle(x, y, 0.1)
if __name__ == '__main__':
c = canvas.canvas()
# r = 70
f = trafo.scale(0.7, 1)
circle = path.circle(0, 0, 2)
a, b = circle.split([0, 2])
c.stroke(a, [style.linewidth.Thick, f])
d1 = f.apply(*circle.at(0.5*circle.arclen()))
d2 = f.apply(*circle.at(circle.arclen()))
c.fill(mark(*d1))
c.fill(mark(*d2))
c.writeGSfile('test.jpeg')
But it spits back the following error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/Python/pyx/test.py", line 19, in <module>
c.writeGSfile('test.png')

I tried to debug but I'm having trouble understanding the processing.py section. Any ideas?
You need to have ghostscript installed (gs) to generate bitmap output.
