Simple tkinter GUI for Primitive by fogleman.

primitive-gui

A simple GUI for primitve by fogleman.

Why was this made?

I just wanted a GUI for this command-line tool, and it happens to not have a GUI version on Windows, or Linux.

It only has one on macOS.

This script most likely runs on Linux too, but I've only tested it on Windows.

Requirements:

• Go > https://golang.org/doc/install
• Primitive > https://github.com/fogleman/primitive (script is included if you're a super-noob)
• Python3 > https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-399/ (Select 64-bit Windows Installer if on Windows.)

How to install/use:

• Navigate to the folder in a terminal
• To install Primitive, run python install-primitive.py
• Once primitive is done installing, you may delete the install script.
• To run the GUI, run python main.py

• THE APPLICATION WILL APPEAR TO FREEZE, THIS IS NORMAL. LEAVE IT BE UNTIL IT IS FINISHED PROCESSING.

GUI layout:

Input file Path

You can point to an image via it's full path, or you can place the image in the folder containining the script.

Ouput file path

You can point to an image via it's full path, or you can type the name of the output, and Primitive will output the file to where the script is.

The amount of shapes Primitive will use to redraw your image.

• 6 = Only bezier curves
• 7 = Only rotated ellipses
