vexy-lines-run 1.0.45

GUI desktop application for Vexy Lines style transfer

vexy-lines-run

Desktop GUI for Vexy Lines style transfer — load images, .lines files, or video, pick a style, export.

Built with CustomTkinter. Runs on macOS, Windows, and Linux wherever Tk is available.

Install

pip install vexy-lines-run

All dependencies (CustomTkinter, tkinterdnd2, PyAV, OpenCV, resvg, svglab, CTkMenuBarPlus) are installed automatically.

Launch

vexy-lines-run

Or:

python -m vexy_lines_run

From Python:

from vexy_lines_run import launch
launch()

Features

Three input tabs

• Lines — load .lines files; export embedded previews or apply a new style
• Images — load PNG, JPG, WEBP, and other rasters; style applied via the MCP API
• Video — load MP4, MOV, MKV, or similar; per-frame style transfer with audio passthrough

Style picker

Select a primary style from any .lines file. Optionally select an end style — the two are interpolated linearly across the input sequence. Both show inline thumbnail previews.

Export formats

Format	Notes
SVG	Vector output from the style engine
PNG / JPG	Raster, with optional 2× upscale
MP4	Re-encoded video with styled frames, optional audio
LINES	Copy .lines files directly (Lines tab only)

Drag-and-drop onto any input list (via tkinterdnd2)

Background processing — export runs on a daemon thread; the progress bar updates live and the UI stays responsive

Architecture

app.py          App(CTk)         — window, three tabs, style pickers, export bar
processing.py   process_export() — background thread dispatcher for lines/images/video
video.py        probe()          — PyAV-based video metadata and per-frame processing
widgets.py      CTkRangeSlider   — dual-handle range slider for video frame selection

Style transfer calls into vexy-lines-apy (MCPClient, apply_style, interpolate_style). Video uses PyAV for mux/demux and OpenCV for frame extraction.

Job folders (crash-safe exports)

All exports create a persistent job folder alongside the output directory. Every intermediate artifact — .lines documents, .svg exports, rasterized frames — is saved there. If the app quits or the process is interrupted mid-export, re-running the export resumes from where it left off.

The GUI never deletes job folders automatically. Use the CLI with --force to start fresh or --cleanup to remove the folder after completion.
