""" Module images2swf

Provides a function (writeSwf) to store a series of PIL images or numpy
arrays in an SWF movie, that can be played on a wide range of OS's.

This module came into being because I wanted to store a series of images
in a movie that can be viewed by other people, and which I can embed in
flash presentations. For writing AVI or MPEG you really need a c/c++
library, and although the filesize is then very small, the quality is
sometimes not adequate. Besides I'd like to be independent of yet another
package. I tried writing animated gif using PIL (which is widely available),
but the quality is so poor because it only allows for 256 different colors.
[EDIT: thanks to Ant1, now the quality of animated gif isn't so bad!]
I also looked into MNG and APNG, two standards similar to the PNG stanard.
Both standards promise exactly what I need. However, hardly any application
can read those formats, and I cannot import them in flash.

Therefore I decided to check out the swf file format, which is very well
documented. This is the result: a pure python module to create an SWF file
that shows a series of images. The images are stored using the DEFLATE
algorithm (same as PNG and ZIP and which is included in the standard Python
distribution). As this compression algorithm is much more effective than
that used in GIF images, we obtain better quality (24 bit colors + alpha
channel) while still producesing smaller files (a test showed ~75%).
Although SWF also allows for JPEG compression, doing so would probably
require a third party library (because encoding JPEG is much harder).

This module requires Python 2.x and numpy.

sources and tools:

- SWF on wikipedia
- Adobes "SWF File Format Specification" version 10
  (http://www.adobe.com/devnet/swf/pdf/swf_file_format_spec_v10.pdf)
- swftools (swfdump in specific) for debugging
- iwisoft swf2avi can be used to convert swf to avi/mpg/flv with really
  good quality, while file size is reduced with factors 20-100.
  A good program in my opinion. The free version has the limitation
  of a watermark in the upper left corner.
