[reportlab-users] png mode "I" image inserted using drawImage but "blank" in resulting pdf

[hari jayaram]

Hi I am trying to insert a PNG image with the following attributes


>>> import Image

>>> im = Image.open("harijay_test_mode_I.png")

>>> im

<PngImagePlugin.PngImageFile image mode=I size=800x600 at 0x1DEAFC8>


The test code I am using to insert is given below.
My problem is that  although the code runs fine  when the pdf is generated ,
I get a white box where the image was supposed to be and my test grid
numbers everywhere else.

If I use another png in the rgba mode  the image shows up and is correctly
placed in the document.

How do I insert PNG mode "F" or mode "I" images into reportlab documents.
Alternatively how can I convert 16-bit depth images in PNG mode "I" or "F"
to some mode that will insert into reportlab using python. I realize part of
this question is more a PIL or pypng question , but I am hoping that there
is a reportlab centric solution to my problem

Also I am using ubuntu Lucids built in PDF viewer to look at the resulting
pdf and reportlab version 2.4

Thanks
Hari



###########Test code#########

import reportlab
from reportlab.pdfgen import canvas
from reportlab.lib import pagesizes
from reportlab.lib.pagesizes import letter
from reportlab.lib.units import inch,mm

c = canvas.Canvas("hellotc.pdf",pagesize=pagesizes.landscape(letter))

for x in range(0,11,1):
# setup a guidance grid for image placement initially
    for y in range(0,9,1):
        c.drawString(x*inch,y*inch,"%d,%d" % (x,y))


c.drawImage("harijay_test_mode_I.png",2*inch,2*inch,width=7*inch,height=5*inch)
c.showPage()
c.save()
