Insert images into Sphinx documentation using inline code and stylo

Sphinx-Stylo

This functionality has now been made core functionailty in the arlunio project

Sphinx-Stylo is an extension to the Sphinx documentation tool that allows you to insert dynamically generated images created using the Stylo python library. Images can be defined using the .. stylo-image:: directive inline in your rst source files.

.. stylo-image::
   :align: center
   :img-width: 1920
   :img-height: 1080
   :display-width: 75%

   from stylo.color import FillColor
   from stylo.shape import Circle
   from stylo.image import SimpleImage

   color = FillColor("ffff00)
   circle = Circle(fill=True)

   image = SimpleImage(circle, color)

Then when a sphinx build is run your code will be executed and an image with the given dimensions will be inserted into the final HTML page.

If you want the code included alongside the inserted image then add the :include-code: option to the list of options under the directive.

You must store your image in a variable called image for it to be picked up by the extension.
