I wish to be able to draw simple images with Python into a new window in ArcMap, but I also need the properties of the images to change (i.e. colour) based on the data from a field in a shp.  What suggestions can you give for best ways of drawing and changing simple 2d images.

Cheers
Stephen

Have a look at PIL (Python Image Library) module. http://www.pythonware.com/products/pil/.

I have used this extensively at 8.x and 9.x to compensate for problems in ArcMap image handling.

Ok thanks, I'll check it out.  I was thinking about using Tkinter.
