If binaries of installed python packages are added to the PATH, you can call pimpy_gallery directly from the shell:

pimpy_gallery

Otherwise, it can be invoked using python:

python -m pimpygui.gallery

Overview:

The pimpy_gallery GUI contains the following effects:

• Smooth: Applies a gaussian filter which blurs the image.

• Main colors: Reduces the image to a given number of colors. The colors can be set by the user or guessed algorithmically using k-means clustering.

• Edges: Finds all edges of the given image. It adds an edge between two neighboring pixels if their color values are different. You should apply the main colors effect before creating the edge image, since an edge is inserted even if the colors are visually identical but slightly different.

• Paint by number: Applies the edge effect and additionally inserts labels in the image segments. This can be used to create prototype images for the popular paint by number artworks. Usually, you first need to apply the smooth and main colors effects, since images are often too noisy for useful results.
