Hi,
I am about to create a tool that will composite two images together
and produce a composited image. It has to be a tool that can run
without a window server present (as it will be called from a
webobjects application). I am just looking into what libraries to use
to achieve this. I have tried linking against app kit and using
NSImage to composite the images together, but it fails as it try's to
make a connection to the window server.
The only other library available on OS X is the quartz library to
composite the images, but I do not know whether or not a window server
needs to be present in order for it to use the image compositing
functions.
I found this thread on mamasam:
http://cocoa.mamasam.com/MACOSXDEV/2002/05/2/34141.php
But there was no definitive answer that if you use these functions if
you do indeed need a window server present.
Can anyone enlighten me?
It looks like Apple will be talking about things related to this at
this years WWDC....

Server-side Graphics
Friday, 9:00 - 10:30

Mac OS X contains a variety of powerful imaging technologies that can
be used to perform advanced server-side graphics operations. This
session will cover techniques to create PDFs using Quartz 2D's Python
bindings, leverage the Scriptable Image Processing System for bitmap
image operations, and explore OpenGL rendering on headless server
configurations. This session is perfect if you are developing
server-side applications that need to dynamically create rich graphic
content.
