Simple wrapper around matplotlib for render color scheme palette

The format of pictures for saving is the same as matplotlib

Warning

The library is under deep development. But it will be very useful to get feedback.

Usage

Install package

pip install draw_palette

Copy the lua file of a defined color.

Example usage:

from draw_palette import utils, DrawPalette

# Use internal lua import function as dict of tuple (color_name, hex)
colors = utils.import_palette("./colors.lua")
# Sort colors by name
colors.sort(key=lambda x: x[0])

CONFIG = {
    "spacing": 0.05,  # spacing between cells
    "dpi": 300,  # dpi of output image
    "rounding": 0.05,  # rounding of cell
    "max_column_num": 6,  # max colomns
    "cell_size": 3.0,  # size of color cell
    "fontfamily": "monospace",  # font family for any text
    "color_name_size": 14,  # font size of label color name
    "color_hex_size": 8,  # font size of label color HEX value
}


# Create palette object
palette = DrawPalette(colors, config=CONFIG) # argument is a list of tuple
# Render it
palette.render()
# Save to the file
palette.save_image(image_name='palette.png')

colors.lua

To render a palette, a color table must be fed to the input. Example of lua file with scheme:

local M = {}

---@class Palette
---@type table
M.palette = {
  red = "#cc6666",
  -- color name = "# HEX RGB value",
}

return M.palette

Development

Make Python virtual envelope and enable it

python -m venv .venv
make init
