Create jigsaw puzzle pieces from an image
Project description
A jigsaw puzzle pieces generator that levels the playing field.
This script may change a lot as I have yet to really use it for any active projects.
It basically creates jigsaw puzzle pieces in two formats: svg, and png. The number and size of pieces are set by passing the script different options. It takes a while to run if doing a lot of pieces. It currently uses potrace, and imagemagick convert subprocesses.
Installing
Requires:
Python Packages:
Other Software needed:
If on ubuntu or other debian based distro:
$ apt-get install imagemagick potrace libffi-dev python-libxml2 libxml2-dev python-lxml
Install with pip in editable mode for developing and such:
$ pip install -e .
Usage
See the script.py for more. Not everything has been implemented, but to create 100 randomly generated jigsaw puzzle pieces:
./bin/piecemaker --dir test --number-of-pieces 100 test.jpg
Some in progress notes and such
These notes and such are probably outdated...
just clips - only create a clips svg file
clips - specify a clips svg file
compute adjacent - adds the adjacent piece id’s to each piece in JSON file.
minimum piece size - Will change the count of pieces to meet this requirement
max pixels - Will scale down the original image to meet this requirement
scaled sizes - output multiple scaled versions of piece pngs
Outputs:
clips svg file
adjacent.json - Lists each piece and their adjacent pieces
Directory:
pieces/ full/ - unscaled version pieces.json - JSON file with pieces info pieces/ directory with piece png files scaled-50/ - scaled 50% version (set by 'scaled sizes' option) pieces.json - JSON file with pieces info pieces/ directory with piece png files
