Crate ssl

source ·
Expand description

A library for generating images from a random input. This create uses the RgbImage struct from the image crate to represent images.

§Simple Example

use ssl::{create_image, generate};

// Some random string (or deliberate code)
let source = "Hello, I am a random string!".to_string();

// Generate an image from the source
let image = generate(source, 600, 600);

// Save image to a file (uses the `image` crate)
image.save("output.png").unwrap();

§Render in Parts

Sometimes you want to call a function every so often while rendering an image. Usually to report rendering progress. This can be achieved with the render_in_parts function.

use ssl::{create_image, parse_source, render_in_parts};

// Some random string (or deliberate code)
let source = "Hello, I am a *different* random string!".to_string();

// Compile source code into an expression
let expr = parse_source(source);

// Render image in 10 parts, printing the progress
let parts = 10;
let image = render_in_parts(&expr, 600, 600, parts, |n| {
   println!("Rendered {}% ...", (n+1) * 100 / parts);
});

// Save image to a file (uses the `image` crate)
image.save("output.png").unwrap();

§Multiple Threads

Rendering an image can be a slow process. To speed things up, you can render parts of the image in parallel using multiple threads. This can be achieved with the render_subimage function.
