Shapes

This is a simple package for generating images containing shapes of various colors. The package can be compiled using:

swift build -c release

It can be executed using either (the example files can be replaced as needed):

swift run -c release shapes \ 
  --descriptions "Examples/Small Example/descriptions.json" \
  --configuration "Examples/Small Example/configuration.json" \
  --output-dir "Examples/Small Example/Output"

or:

swift run -c release shapes \ 
  --captions "Examples/Small Example/captions.txt" \
  --configuration "Examples/Small Example/configuration.json" \
  --output-dir "Examples/Small Example/Output"

depending on the format in which the requested image descriptions are provided. Feel free to take a look in the provided example files to see the supported formats.

The image generator can also be executed by using the built shapes executable in the .build directory, directly. After executing successfully, the output directory (i.e.,
Example/output in the example, above), will contain text files with the requested and the full generated image captions, as well as the generated images in SVG format, in the svg subdirectory.

PNG Images

For this functionality, you need to have the rsvg-convert package installed. For MacOS, you can install that using Homebrew, by executing brew install librsvg, and for Ubuntu, you can install it by executing apt-get install librsvg2-bin. Then, shapes can also convert the generated SVG images to PNG images, if one additional option is provided when executing:

swift run -c release shapes \ 
  --captions "Examples/Small Example/captions.txt" \
  --configuration "Examples/Small Example/configuration.json" \
  --output-dir "Examples/Small Example/Output" \
  --convert-to-png
