diddle2gfx

diddle2gfx is a program used for converting diddle databases into a set of images and an html index page to display them.

Requirements

• A recent copy of Python.
• A copy of convert from the ImageMagick package.
• The Pyrite libraries.
• Linux, maybe. This was developed and tested on linux. I don't think there is any reason though why it couldn't be used on other platforms, since both python and ImageMagick are cross platform.

Installation

Download diddle2gfx.py and put it in your favourite place for storing programs (~/local/bin, /usr/local/bin, c:\diddle2gfx).

Make sure the Pyrite package is in your python path.

Make sure convert is in your path.

Usage

diddle2gfx.py [options] [filenames]

[filenames]      Input filename - defaults to DiddleIDB.pdb

Options:
-i [filename]    Create an index file in filename, defaults to index.html
-p [prefix]      Prefix value for images with no use for a name, defaults to
                 diddle
-f, --fgcolour colour description
-b, --bgcolour colour description
-t, --type (BMP|GIF|PNG) Format to put output in - defaults to PNG
-h, --help       

Examples

Examples can (or will be shortly) found in my diddle gallery.
