Re: Python / scripting QC

Hi,

It sounds like you might be interested in NodeBox - a python powered scripted 2D graphic environment - nice integration with quartz drawing and core image processing and much more - including WordNet and graphing utilities.

<http://nodebox.net/code/index.php/Home>

<http://nodebox.net/code/index.php/Core_Image>

<http://nodebox.net/code/index.php/Library>

It would be great if such an environment had a framework, API and could draw to a texture - allowing integration with Quartz Composer. Currently it doesn't. It would be great to see NodeBox in Quartz Composer as a python based _javascript_-like patch that output images.

Regards, Ian

Hi list -- I hope this is an appropriate list for this topic:

I'd like to be able to do what I can do in Quartz Composer, but under the control of a nice high-level scripting language --- I want to go a bit beyond what's easy to accomplish using QC's graphical approach but don't want to invest in learning all the intricacies of Objective C.

I noticed that Quartz has Python bindings, but all the examples use image and pdf files rather than drawing to the screen.  Is it possible to use the Quartz Python bindings to accomplish Quartz Composer style on-screen visual effects, and does anyone have any example code?  Or is there another way to access this technology from a high-level language?  Specifically what I want to do is implement custom Core Image filters in the equivalent of a QC accumulator.
