sphinxcontrib-proceduralimage

sphinxcontrib-proceduralimage adds the proceduralimage directive to Sphinx.

It allows a python code snippet to be supplied, that generates an image, that will be included in the documentation.

It adds a single directive, proceduralimage. It takes a block of python code, executes the code and extracts the local variables image_data and alt. image_data will be saved to a .png in _images and embedded and the alt variable will be used as the images alt tag.
