Utility scripts for selenized

Scripts for converting between color spaces and generating config files from templates.

Requirements

• Python with development files. Python 3.7 and 2.7 is known to work; 3.5 and 3.6 might work, but nobody tried yet.
• Colormath Python library.

Example requirements installation for Debian/Ubuntu Linux and Python 2.7:

# ensure your environment has all necessary tools
sudo apt-get install git python2.7 python-dev python-pip

# install colormath with AppleRGB color space support
sudo pip install --upgrade colormath

Generating config files

To generate config file, use evaluate_template.py script. You need to provide it with two arguments: path to the palette module (with the palette you want to use) and path to a template config for your terminal. For example, if you wanted to generate selenized dark config file for iTerm, you would do it like this:

selenized/utils$ python evaluate_template.py \
                     palettes/selenized_dark.py \
                     templates/itermcolors.template

Processing templates/itermcolors.template...
Result written to output/Selenized medium.itermcolors

Then you need to install the config (see instructions in top-level README).

Converting a color between spaces

From Lab:

selenized/utils$ python convert_color.py "25,-10,-16"

CIE L*a*b*    HSV           sRGB      AppleRGB
-----------   -----------   -------   --------
 25 -10 -16   198  74  33   #154053   #143242

From sRGB (must be given in hex format):

selenized/utils$ python convert_color.py "a8bcc3"

CIE L*a*b*    HSV           sRGB      AppleRGB
-----------   -----------   -------   --------
 75  -6  -6   196  14  76   #a8bcc3   #99aeb6

Generating lightness diagrams

Requirements: scala language. apt install scala should be enough.

python gen-scala-colors.py
<paste multi-line block from the-values.md>
<ctrl-D>

<copy "new Color" statements to selenized-diagram.scala>
