THIS IS AN OLD VERSION. SEE VERSION 2 FOR A BIG UPDATE.
Turn images into lego mosaics.
from PIL import Image
from brickify import EditedImage, PieceList, RenderedImage
from defaults.palettes import all #use the default lego color palette
from defaults.pieces import medium #use medium piece sizes
IMAGE = 'barack.jpg'
INPUT_PATH = 'input/'
OUTPUT_PATH = 'output/'
SIZE = (96, 96) # each pixel will be treated as a (1x1) lego brick
im = Image.open(INPUT_PATH + IMAGE) # open the image
edited = EditedImage(image = im).edit_image(size = SIZE, palette = all) #resize the image and recolor it to the lego colors
pieces = PieceList(image = edited).generate_medium(pieces = medium) #use medium sized pieces and generate with medium speed.
#Medium speed is not optimized to fit the biggest piece when possible.
#use the generate_slow method if you're looking for optimization.
#use the generate_fast method if you're looking for speed.
render = RenderedImage(piece_list = pieces, size = SIZE).render_image() #render the piecelist into a visual form.
render.save(OUTPUT_PATH + IMAGE) #save the render you created.
