Overview
========

The Python Imaging Library adds image processing capabilities to your Python interpreter.

This library provides extensive file format support, an efficient internal representation, and fairly powerful image processing capabilities.

The core image library is designed for fast access to data stored in a few basic pixel formats. It should provide a solid foundation for a general image processing tool.

Shorten title; Clarify these are rst files - Shorten "About Pillow" to Pillow (the reader likely already knows we're talking about Pillow) - Clarify reference to rst files by using rst extension; Sphinx seems to recognize either convention, but humans (like me) forget exactly what Sphinx is doing sometimes. 2015-09-30 13:21:52 +03:00			`installation.rst`
Clean up Handbook A while back somebody awesome forked the PIL Handbook (http://effbot.org/imagingbook/pil-index.htm) to Pillow. IIRC we tried to incorporate the handbook "seemlessly", which apparently meant not using the word "handbook" anywhere. Now that seems confusing, so I'm reorganizing all the handbook content under one section named "Handbook". This commit: - Moves guides.rst to handbook/index.rst - Moves appendices.rst to handbook/ - Removes developer.rst from handbook index. - Removes porting-pil-to-pillow.rst from handbook index. Unrelated to the above: - Shorten title "Porting existing PIL-based code to Pillow" to "Porting" - Move text "Porting existing PIL-based code to Pillow" to faux sub-header (bold text not sub-header because there's only one section.) "Porting" may be better named "Migrating", not sure yet. 2015-09-30 13:38:51 +03:00			`handbook/index.rst`
