Identicons

identicons is a Python package that generates unique 5x5 identicons based on MD5 hashes of input strings. These identicons are symmetrical images commonly used for representing user avatars in applications.

Installation

If you're downloading from a source, navigate to the root directory where setup.py is located and run:

git clone https://github.com/LVivona/identicons.git
python setup.py install

Usage

To generate an identicons, you can use the generate function:

from identicons import generate

# Generate an identicons with default colors
icon = generate('hello world')

# Generate an identicons with custom primary and secondary colors
icon_custom = generate('hello world', primary=0xFFD700, secondary=0x8B0000)
identicons --text "hello world" --file "output.png" -s 0xa0e7e5 -p 0xffffff

The generate function returns a NumPy array representing the identicons image. You can save this image using the save function:

from identicons import save

# Save the generated identicons that is 500x500
save(icon, 'identicons.png', 500, 500)
