sgf2pdf

Here is another unfinished project which nevertheless might be useful for somebody. Using Python and the Reportlab toolkit, the script goboard.py produces a pdf file showing a given position on the go board. The position has to be given in wiki format (as used by Sensei's Library), and as in SL diagrams, stones can be labelled with 1-10, and other labels can be put at empty points.

One thing you can do with a pdf is to produce an image file from it - the example here was produced in this way, and so were the pictures of go problems used to prevent comments from spam bots.
