How to Generate a Single Moon Phase Texture

#Initialize Generator
generator = moontex.MoonTex()

#You can specify the output directory if you want. Specify a moon phase name.
generator.export_moon_phase_image(output_dir=".", phase="Full")

How to Generate All Moon Phase Textures

#Initialize Generator
generator = moontex.MoonTex()

#You can specify the output directory if you want. Specify a moon phase name.
generator.export_all_moon_phase_images(output=".")
