Hand Posting Software

[K C]

I'm not sure where to post this but this seems as good a place as any.

I've been asked to put together some contributions for a major newspaper and I need some sort of formatting tool to display poker hands graphically, similar to the tool on here where you actually see the cards. Anyone know where I can get a hold of a program that can do this for me?

Thanks

I'm a bit confused as to what you are asking for.

Thanks for the link and to Barry as well for sending me his. What I'm after here though is merely the graphics to represent playing cards so I can put them in documents - I'm not using hand histories here. Stuff like this would even do:

You're dealt 5 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 5 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]

The flop is 5 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 6 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 7 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]

That sort of thing to snazz up the presentation a bit. Gifs of cards would be even better.

Thanks
KC

There are already open source gif's of cards on the internet. This would probably be the best way to go. (just google them) Otherwise I've always just likes the bridge puzzle format (the number with emoticon) I find it quicker to read than actual cards.
