Examples

Let’s create a hexagon sticker for the Selinon project.

Here is the input image:

Selinon input logo

Let’s create a hexagon sticker:

$ hexsticker selinon.png -o selinon-sticker-1.png
INFO:hexsticker.create:Writing output to 'selinon-sticker-1.png'

The resulting image is:

Selinon hexagon sticker sticker 1

As can be seen above, there are some parts cut off - let’s add some padding to the image:

$ hexsticker input/selinon.png -o output/selinon-sticker-2.png --padding-size 25
INFO:hexsticker.create:Writing output to 'selinon-sticker-2.png'
Selinon hexagon sticker sticker 2

The padded part is white by default - that’s why there are missing spikes of hexagon. Let’s set color of padded area to the same color as background color of the original image:

$ hexsticker input/selinon.png -o output/selinon-sticker-3.png --padding-size 25 --padding-color '#66cfa7'
INFO:hexsticker.create:Writing output to 'selinon-sticker-3.png'
Selinon hexagon sticker sticker 3

Nice! What we could do next? Let’s try to add a hexagon border:

$ hexsticker input/selinon.png -o output/selinon-sticker-4.png --padding-size 25 --padding-color '#66cfa7' --border-size 35
INFO:hexsticker.create:Writing output to 'selinon-sticker-4.png'
Selinon hexagon sticker sticker 4

Ehm, the default black one does not look that good in this case! Let’s try some color that fits color scheme:

$ hexsticker input/selinon.png -o output/selinon-sticker-5.png --padding-size 25 --padding-color '#66cfa7' --border-size 35 --border-color '#197a9f'
INFO:hexsticker.create:Writing output to 'selinon-sticker-5.png'

As you can see, this tool can automate creation of hexagon stickers so they respect the hexagon standard. Feel free to additionally adjust the resulting image of your logo or the input image.
