Hello and thanks for any assistance, I wrote this basic script to batch make test forms for a side project. In its current state it works fine and I can pass file names to it no problem. It will take the form embeded in the code and create 10 additional copies with the data in the lists (iamges,ssns...). However I'm stuck on how to pass the coordinates fo the queue types (R.Q1,Q2,Q3) to the draw.text statements.

I thought this might work but it doesn't:

qtype = raw_input("Enter queue type; R,Q1,Q2,Q3,IP,IBH:")

draw.text((qtype), prioritymark, font=fnt)
#!/usr/bin/python
import Image, ImageDraw, ImageFont, glob, re
from os import chdir, path

fname = raw_input("desired file name?")
print "I will now create 10 files starting with the name:", fname

images = [fname + '_01.jpeg', fname + '_02.jpeg', fname + '_03.jpeg', fname + '_04.jpeg', fname + '_05.jpeg', fname + '_06.jpeg', fname + '_07.jpeg', fname + '_08.jpeg', fname + '_09.jpeg', fname + '_10.jpeg']
ssns = ['111-22-3000', '111-22-3001', '111-22-3002', '111-22-3003', '111-22-3004', '111-22-3005', '111-22-3006', '111-22-3007', '111-22-3008', '111-22-3009']
bnames = ['Alfalfa', 'Darla', 'Porky', 'Buckwheat', 'Butch', 'Stymie', 'Norman', 'Pete', 'Wheezer', 'Scotty']
prioritymark = "X"
corres = "X"
address = "2019 Aerojet Rd, Rancho Cordova, CA"
R = "446,1013"
Q1 = "446,1274"
Q2 = "446,1654"
Q3 = "446,1654"
IP = "446,2195"
IBH = "446,2349"

    font_dir = "/home/chris/.PlayOnLinux/fonts/"

    fnt = ImageFont.truetype(font_dir+font, font_size)
    lineWidth = 20
    img = Image.open("civform.jpeg")
    draw = ImageDraw.Draw(img)
    draw.text((1108,2763), text, font=fnt)      # add some text to the main

    del draw

for index in range(len(ssns)):
	txt2img(ssns[index])
	
print "done"

Change those variables to dict current variable names. Other way is to change the raw_input to input in your change code, but that is unsafe as it allows arbitrary expressions. The values should also be coordinate tuples, not strings.

Thank you, would you be able to provide and example? I'm still a little confused. I tried an alternate method of just creating a new block of code, but wondering if there is a better way to do that?

The info in the code below is fake and made up. Its just random data to use when making the test forms.

	"Q1":"446,1274"}
routine = [(2435,590),(3408,590)]

but

qtype = {"referral":(446,845), ## no continuation needed inside parenthesis
	"Q1":(446,1274)}

Why are you duplicating your code? why don't use parameters? Instead you have fg parameter which you are not using.

It is not good style to put loops between definitions without good reason.

Do function to just make the mark to given picture, put parameter urgent=False in the drawing function and call the marking routine:

if urgent: img = urgent_mark(img)
