startFileDrawer.py generates fancy Images from ANY given file.

startGlitch.py glitches ANY file, but if you wanna see something, you have to use an JPG ;)

REQUIREMENTS

• Python 3.6
• Python PIL (sudo apt-get install python-imaging)
• Linux (works probably on other platforms ;)

HOW TO USE

startFileDrawer

Open a terminal and go into the folder where this script is,

then just run:

python startFileDrawer.py if=mySuperFile.sh of=fancy_image_of_file.png

sure, you can use any fullpath:

python startFileDrawer.py if=/home/mysuperuser/bigFile.iso of=/home/images/fancy_image_of_file.png

you can set the pixel size with:

python startFileDrawer.py if=mF.sh of=fancy.png pixelSize=25

if you want a LARGER Image, just use:

python startFileDrawer.py if=mF.sh of=fancy.png pixelSize=52 imageX=1080 imageY=1920

for a poster-printable Image you may use:

python startFileDrawer.py imageX=18000 imageY=12000 pixelSize=150 dpi=300

so you can draw /dev/urandom on a UNIX machine

python startFileDrawer.py if=/dev/urandom of=verry_random.png imageX=18000 imageY=12000 pixelSize=150 dpi=300

WARNING It will overwrite the image with the same name as the of= parameter says!

PARAMETERS

• if=

  • input file, could be ANY file!
  • default input file is: walk-dark-light-5.jpg

• of=

  • output file
  • overwrites if already exist
  • default output will go to: createdImages/tmp.png

• pixelSize=

  • the size 3 bytes of the input file will be represented on the final Image
  • default is 10

• imageX= imageY=

  • the X and Y size/dimensions of the final Image
  • default is 255x255

• dpi=

  • set the dpi
  • default is -1 for unset

• mode=

  • glitch
    • glitches the final image (works best with jpg ;)

• fileType=

  • choose the filetype you want as Image (jpeg, png)

startGlitch

Open a terminal and go into the folder where this script is,

then just run:

python startGlitch.py if=someimagetoglitch.jpg of=fancy_glitch.jpg

you can configure the glitch-level:

python startGlitch.py if=someimagetoglitch.jpg of=fancy_glitch.jpg glitchLevel=10

WARNING It will overwrite the image with the same name as the of= parameter says!

PARAMETERS

• if=

  • input file, should be a JPG
  • default input file is: walk-dark-light-5.jpg

• of=

  • output file
  • overwrites if already exist
  • default output will go to: createdImages/glitched.jpg

  • X out of 1000 bytes will be glitched
  • default is 1 out of 1000 (trust me, its enough for default ;)
