NAME Lego::From::PNG - Convert PNGs into plans to build a two dimensional lego replica. SYNOPSIS use Lego::From::PNG; my $object = Lego::From::PNG; $object->brick_tally(); DESCRIPTION Convert a PNG into a block list and plans to build a two dimensional replica of the PNG. The plans are built with brick knobs pointed vertically so the picture will look like a flat surface to the viewer. Meaning the only dimension of the brick being determined is the length. Depth and height are all the same for all bricks. $hash->{'filename'} = $args{'filename'}; $hash->{'unit_size'} = $args{'unit_size'} || 1; # Brick depth and height defaults $hash->{'brick_depth'} = 1; $hash->{'brick_height'} = 1; # White list default $hash->{'whitelist'} = ($args{'whitelist'} && ref($args{'whitelist'}) eq 'ARRAY' && scalar(@{$args{'whitelist'}}) > 0) ? $args{'whitelist'} : undef; # Black list default $hash->{'blacklist'} = ($args{'blacklist'} && ref($args{'blacklist'}) eq 'ARRAY' && scalar(@{$args{'blacklist'}}) > 0) ? $args{'blacklist'} : undef; USAGE new Usage : ->new() Purpose : Returns Lego::From::PNG object Returns : Lego::From::PNG object Argument : filename - Optional. The file name of the PNG to process. Optional but if not provided, can't process the png. e.g. filename => '/location/of/the.png' unit_size - Optional. The size of pixels squared to determine a single unit of a brick. Defaults to 1. e.g. unit_size => 2 # pixelated colors are 2x2 in size brick_depth - Optional. The depth of all generated bricks. Defaults to 1. e.g. brick_depth => 2 # final depth of all bricks are 2. So 2 x length x height brick_height - Optional. The height of all generated bricks. Defaults to 1. e.g. brick_height => 2 # final height of all bricks are 2. So depth x length x 2 whitelist - Optional. Array ref of colors, dimensions or color and dimensions that are allowed in the final plan output. e.g. whitelist => [ 'BLACK', 'WHITE', '1x1x1', '1x2x1', '1x4x1', 'BLACK_1x6x1' ] blacklist - Optional. Array ref of colors, dimensions or color and dimensions that are not allowed in the final plan output. e.g. blacklist => [ 'RED', '1x10x1', '1x12x1', '1x16x1', 'BLUE_1x8x1' ] Throws : Comment : See Also : lego_dimensions Usage : ->lego_dimensions() Purpose : returns a hashref with lego dimension information in millimeters (metric) or inches (imperial) Returns : hashref with lego dimension information, millimeters is default Argument : $type - if set to imperial then dimension information is returned in inches Throws : Comment : See Also : lego_colors Usage : ->lego_colors() Purpose : returns lego color constants consolidated as a hash. Returns : hashref with color constants keyed by the official color name in key form. Argument : Throws : Comment : See Also : lego_bricks Usage : ->lego_bricks() Purpose : Returns a list of all possible lego bricks Returns : Hash ref with L<Lego::From::PNG::Brick> objects keyed by their identifier Argument : Throws : Comment : See Also : png Usage : ->png() Purpose : Returns Image::PNG::Libpng object. Returns : Returns Image::PNG::Libpng object. See L<Image::PNG::Libpng> for more details. Argument : Throws : Comment : See Also : png_info Usage : ->png_info() Purpose : Returns png IHDR info from the Image::PNG::Libpng object Returns : A hash of values containing information abou the png such as width and height. See get_IHDR in L<Image::PNG::Libpng> for more details. Argument : filename => the PNG to load and part unit_size => the pixel width and height of one unit, blocks are generally identified as Nx1 blocks where N is the number of units of the same color Throws : Comment : See Also : block_row_length Usage : ->block_row_length() Purpose : Return the width of one row of blocks. Since a block list is a single dimension array this is useful to figure out whict row a block is on. Returns : The length of a row of blocks (image width / unit size) Argument : Throws : Comment : See Also : block_row_height Usage : ->block_row_height() Purpose : Return the height in blocks. Returns : The height of a row of blocks (image height / unit size) Argument : Throws : Comment : See Also : process Usage : ->process() Purpose : Convert a provided PNG into a list of lego blocks that will allow building of a two dimensional lego replica. Returns : Hashref containing information about particular lego bricks found to be needed based on the provided PNG. Also included is the build order for those bricks. Argument : view => 'a view' - optionally format the return data. options include: JSON and HTML Throws : Comment : See Also : whitelist Usage : ->whitelist() Purpose : return any whitelist settings stored in this object Returns : an arrayref of whitelisted colors and/or blocks, or undef Argument : Throws : Comment : See Also : has_whitelist Usage : ->has_whitelist(), ->has_whitelist($filter) Purpose : return a true value if there is a whitelist with at least one entry in it based on the allowed filters, otherwise a false value is returned Returns : 1 or 0 Argument : $filter - optional scalar containing the filter to restrict test to Throws : Comment : See Also : is_whitelisted Usage : ->is_whitelisted($value), ->is_whitelisted($value, $filter) Purpose : return a true if the value is whitelisted, otherwise false is returned Returns : 1 or 0 Argument : $value - the value to test, $filter - optional scalar containing the filter to restrict test to Throws : Comment : See Also : blacklist Usage : ->blacklist Purpose : return any blacklist settings stored in this object Returns : an arrayref of blacklisted colors and/or blocks, or undef Argument : Throws : Comment : See Also : has_blacklist Usage : ->has_blacklist(), ->has_whitelist($filter) Purpose : return a true value if there is a blacklist with at least one entry in it based on the allowed filters, otherwise a false value is returned Returns : 1 or 0 Argument : $filter - optional scalar containing the filter to restrict test to Throws : Comment : See Also : is_blacklisted Usage : ->is_blacklisted($value), ->is_whitelisted($value, $filter) Purpose : return a true if the value is blacklisted, otherwise false is returned Returns : 1 or 0 Argument : $value - the value to test, $filter - optional scalar containing the filter to restrict test to Throws : Comment : See Also : _png_blocks_of_color Usage : ->_png_blocks_of_color() Purpose : Convert a provided PNG into a list of rgb values based on [row][color]. Size of blocks are determined by 'unit_size' Returns : A list of hashes contain r, g and b values. e.g. ( { r => #, g => #, b => # }, { ... }, ... ) Argument : Throws : Comment : See Also : =head2 _color_score Usage : ->_color_score() Purpose : returns a score indicating the likeness of one color to another. The lower the number the closer the colors are to each other. Returns : returns a positive integer score Argument : $c1 - array ref with rgb color values in that order $c2 - array ref with rgb color values in that order Throws : Comment : See Also : _find_lego_color Usage : ->_find_lego_color Purpose : given an rgb params, finds the optimal lego color Returns : A lego color common name key that can then reference lego color information using L<Lego::From::PNG::lego_colors> Argument : $r - the red value of a color $g - the green value of a color $b - the blue value of a color Throws : Comment : this subroutine is memoized as the name _find_lego_color_fast See Also : _approximate_lego_colors Usage : ->_approximate_lego_colors() Purpose : Generate a list of lego colors based on a list of blocks ( array of hashes containing rgb values ) Returns : A list of lego color common name keys that can then reference lego color information using L<Lego::From::PNG::lego_colors> Argument : Throws : Comment : See Also : _generate_brick_list Usage : ->_approximate_lego_colors() Purpose : Generate a list of lego colors based on a list of blocks ( array of hashes containing rgb values ) Returns : A list of lego color common name keys that can then reference lego color information using L<Lego::From::PNG::lego_colors> Argument : Throws : Comment : See Also : _list_filters Usage : ->_list_filters() Purpose : return whitelist/blacklist filters Returns : an hashref of filters Argument : an optional filter restriction to limit set of filters returned to just one Throws : Comment : See Also : BUGS SUPPORT AUTHOR Travis Chase CPAN ID: GAUDEON gaudeon@cpan.org https://github.com/gaudeon/Lego-From-Png COPYRIGHT This program is free software licensed under the...
