bgmaker (Background Maker)

Create background images using C++, ImageMagick and L-Systems. This is a WIP.

Getting Started

Requirements

Install the library ImageMagick. In Ubuntu 20.04

$ sudo apt install libmagick++-dev

Build

Clone this repository and all his submodules

$ git clone --recursive https://github.com/h-valdes/bgmaker

$ cd bgmaker
$ mkdir build
$ cd Build
$ cmake ..
$ make

Use

Inside of the build directory:

$ ./bgmaker draw

And to preview the image with ImageMagick

$ ./bgmaker draw --preview

To override the default values use the config file

$ ./bgmaker draw --preview --config "../config.toml"

Examples

Example 1

# config.toml
[general]
output-file = "bg1.png"
background-color = "#ECEFF4"
width = 1920
height = 1080

[fractal-plant]
    [fractal-plant.fp1]
    stroke-color = "#88C0D0"
    stroke-width = 1.5
    x-offset = -350
    x-centered = true
    y-centered = true

    [fractal-plant.fp2]
    stroke-color = "#D08770"
    stroke-width = 1.5
    x-offset = 350
    x-centered = true
    y-centered = true
    mirror = true

Example 2

# config.toml
