Bulk output of primitive images

Simple wrapper module of primitive

Prequisite

Go

primitive works on Go lang, so you have to install Go before installing primitive

You can install with Homebrew

brew update
brew install go

Primitive

primitive

go get -u github.com/fogleman/primitive

Primitive would be installed your $GOPATH directory, which is under the your home directory as a default.

You might need add PATH in your .bash_profile (something like that), like the following

export PATH=$PATH:/Users/USERNAME/go/bin

Install

npm install primitive_bulk -g

Usage

primitive_bulk -i sample.jpg

As a default, this tool generate all mode (0 to 8) primitive images concurrently. It's faster but might be a heavy process for your machine.

If you want to generate them one by one, pass --sync option

primitive_bulk -i sample.jpg --sync

The output files are the following in the same directory

• sample_m0_n300.jpg
• sample_m1_n300.jpg
• sample_m2_n300.jpg
• sample_m3_n300.jpg
• sample_m4_n300.jpg
• sample_m5_n300.jpg
• sample_m6_n300.jpg
• sample_m7_n300.jpg
• sample_m8_n300.jpg

Options

• --format: You can set output format like svg, png, jpg, gif. The details of output format support, see Primitive. You can set multiple fomarts like --format svg,jpg.
• -d, --dist : the directory to distribute the output images. If the directory is not existed, make it automatically.
• --fname: enable to change the output file name like the following: ${name}_m6_n300.jpg
• --output: pass primitive CLI as an output path. if you want to generate multiple images, don't use this option. otherwise generate images to the same file name (overriden)

The other options are passed to primitive CLI, so please referer to Primitive Usage.
