Automatically Generate a Chronodex graphic of your day

Command-line Chronodex image generation

This was put together to automatically generate coloring for Chronodex.

Installation

This ruby script is a slim wrapper around QuickMagick, which are the python extensions to work with ImageMagick. Be sure to install ImageMagick (and ruby!) before tring to run this.

Suggestions for making installation, usage and usability more general is greatly appreciated!

Execution

Generate images

bin/chronoplan example/schedule_sample.txt

Which generates a transparent overlay ("OVERLAY.png") and the final image ("output.png").

Formatting

Each line of the input file represents one wedge of the Chronodex. The parameters are semi-colon delimited (';'), and are:

1. Start 'time' of the task (in degrees).
2. End 'time' of the task (in degrees).
3. Color of the wedge, a format that ImageMagick understands.
4. Name of the task (optional).

An example input file can be found at Example.

Credits

Inspired by Scription's amazing Chronodex. I wanted to put together a small tool to generate these overlays based on a simple text input.
