A Python package for procedurally generating images.
Great question! You can use pjimg to generate images and video. For examples, see the scripts in the examples folder in the directory.
The commercial software I used to generate "clouds" (Perlin noise) moved to a subscription model. I then switched to a different commercial software package, but its Perlin noise generation was pretty weak. So, I decided to write something to make it myself. And, the scope, as it tends to do, grew.
You can clone the repository to your local system, then install it with pip:
pip3 install /path/to/repo/pjimg
Replace '/path/to/repo` with the path to the repository on your local system. You should then be able to import it into the python scripts you write.
For examples for what to do from there, look at the examples folder in the repository.
The precommit.py script in the root of the repository will run the unit tests and a few other tests beside. Otherwise, the unit tests are written with the pytest module, so you can run the tests with:
python -m pytest
Assuming you have homebrew installed, first install cmake:
brew install cmake
Then force pip to compile numpy:
pip install numpy --force-reinstall --no-deps --no-cache --no-binary :all: --compile
At this time, this is code is really just me exploring and learning. I've made it available in case it helps anyone else, but I'm not really intending to turn this into anything other than a personal project.
That said, if other people do find it useful and start using it, I'll reconsider. If you do use it and see something you want changed or added, go ahead and open an issue. If anyone ever does that, I'll figure out how to handle it.
