Background removal • Parallel headless rendering • BFS color auto-patching • Asset validation

---

Features

Command	Description
bg	Remove background via rembg and center object on transparent canvas
render	Render HTML template to print-quality JPG (2400×3600px) via headless Brave/Chrome
batch	Parallel batch rendering of entire folder with progress bar and build log
patch	Surgical rectangular texture patching via linear color interpolation
autopatch	BFS-based automatic color region detection and patching (removes flags, labels)
validate	Pre-render validation of all local image assets in HTML template

---

Installation

pip install infographics-builder

# Optional: progress bar support
pip install infographics-builder[progress]

Requirements:

• Python 3.10+
• Brave Browser or Google Chrome (for render / batch commands)

---

Quick Start

Remove background from image

infographics-builder bg input_photo.jpg output.png
infographics-builder bg input_photo.jpg output.png --size 1024 --padding 40

Render a single poster

infographics-builder render card.html poster.jpg
infographics-builder render card.html poster.jpg --browser "C:\Program Files\BraveSoftware\Brave-Browser\Application\brave.exe"

Batch render entire folder (with skip-existing and auto log)

infographics-builder batch ./html_pages/ ./renders/
infographics-builder batch ./html_pages/ ./renders/ --workers 4 --no-skip

Auto-patch unwanted color regions (flags, watermarks)

# Remove red (255,0,0) with tolerance 40
infographics-builder autopatch model.png 255 0 0 --tolerance 40

# Remove blue flag without creating a backup
infographics-builder autopatch model.png 0 0 200 --tolerance 30 --no-backup

Manual texture patch by coordinates

infographics-builder patch model.png 580 620 340 380
infographics-builder patch model.png 580 620 340 380 --no-backup

Validate HTML template assets

infographics-builder validate card.html

---

Python API

from infographics_builder import ImageProcessor, PosterRenderer, Validator

# Remove background
ImageProcessor.remove_background("photo.jpg", "output.png")

# Render poster
renderer = PosterRenderer()  # auto-detects Brave/Chrome
renderer.render("card.html", "poster.jpg")

# Batch render with progress bar
renderer.render_batch(
    html_paths=["card1.html", "card2.html"],
    output_jpg_paths=["poster1.jpg", "poster2.jpg"],
    skip_existing=True,   # skip already rendered
    log_dir="./logs/"     # write build_YYYY-MM-DD.log
)

# Auto-patch by color (BFS)
ImageProcessor.auto_patch_by_color("model.png", target_color_rgb=(255, 0, 0), tolerance=30)

# Validate assets
ok = Validator.validate_html("card.html")

---

Rendering Architecture

The render command uses a Chromium-based headless browser with these flags:

--window-size=1200,1800 --force-device-scale-factor=2

This produces a 2400×3600px screenshot (device-pixel-ratio 2x), which is then converted to JPG at 95% quality via Pillow.

---

Safety Features

• Auto-backup (.bak): patch and autopatch create a .bak copy before modifying any file. Disable with --no-backup.
• Skip existing: batch skips already-rendered JPGs by default (--no-skip to override).
• Build log: Every batch run writes build_YYYY-MM-DD.log in the output directory.
