eea.converter 6.1

SVG, PNG, PDF converters using external tools as ImageMagick

Introduction

This package provides utilities to convert images and PDF files using ImageMagick.

Note

This add-on doesn’t do anything by itself. It needs to be integrated by a developer within your own products. For reference you can check the eea.googlecharts package.

Installation

zc.buildout

If you are using zc.buildout and the plone.recipe.zope2instance recipe to manage your project, you can do this:

• Update your buildout.cfg file:

  • Add eea.converter to the list of eggs to install

  • Tell the plone.recipe.zope2instance recipe to install a ZCML slug

  [instance]
  ...
  eggs =
    ...
    eea.converter
  
  zcml =
    ...
    eea.converter

• Re-run buildout, e.g. with:

  $ ./bin/buildout

You can skip the ZCML slug if you are going to explicitly include the package from another package’s configure.zcml file.
