Re: [Gnumed-devel] artwork handling

[J Busser]

Sorry, some clarification needed.

With images, do we have to contend with the *image* format and the 
*file* format as well as whether or not a file may contain multiple 
images?

Do the same questions need to be addressed for both artwork and 
actual patient-related images? IS the difference only a question of 
whether the image information is stored (patient-related images in 
clinical tables, other images in non-clinical tables).

Can the tables for both needs (clinical and nonclinical) be 
identified for this thread, to assist the wiki?

In what form... that us one of the questions, yes?
- original image and file format?
- original image format, but imported into a python file (?) - is 
that what is done by img2py or does this change the image format (or 
both)
- other?

the "tool able to display content of a *.py file " - does a suitable one exist?
the word "handles" in "files that handle multiple images" - it means 
"contains"?

Do wxwidgets, wxpython, python and Postgres permit this?
