import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from glaze import render
fig = render(contours) # Render one glyph
To run glaze
on the command line:
# Recommended usage
glaze --directory PATH/TO/DATA/
# Alternative usage
glaze --files FILES
-
The
--directory
must have the following structure:data ├── json │ ├── Georgia.json │ └── ... └── ...
where the
.json
files are those produced byknead
. Renders will be saved in a directorydata/renders-TTTT-DD-MM/
, whereTTTT
is military time. -
However, should you want to render only a few files, you can use the
--files
flag, which must be one of:- a path to a
.json
file (again, such as those produced byknead
), - a comma-separated list of such paths, or
- a regex matching the path(s) to one or more
.json
files.
- a path to a
Renders will be saved in the present working directory (unless the --output
flag is
