Create pointilized images using sprites or other sub images.
The development version of this package may be installed via pip:
pip install git+https://github.com/mpewsey/pointillism#egg=pointillism
The pointilize_1 function can be used to create a pointilized
image from a base image. The following code was used to create
the image of Charizard shown below. Each pixel of the original image
has been replaced with a Pokemon whose dominant color corresponds with
the color cluster in the original image.
# charizard.py
import random
import imageio
from pointillism import pointilize_1, sprite_paths
# Set the random seed for repeatable results
random.seed(12345)
# Get a list of sprite file paths
sprites = sprite_paths('pokemon')
# Load the base image
img = imageio.imread(sprites[5])
# Pointilize the base image with the sprites
img = pointilize_1(img, sprites, n=5)
# Write the result to file
imageio.imwrite('charizard.png', img)
