This is the Caramel Recolor library developed by A Bunch of Hacks and commissioned by Joseph Hewitt.
This library reimplements a gradient-based recoloring algorithm used in Gearhead Caramel.
Its sole method, caramelrecolor.recolor() takes two arguments:
the first a contiguous array (e.g. a numpy.array) of 32-bit ARGB color values,
where A is unused and each of R, G and B is either zero or equal to all other non-zero values;
the second a list of Gradients
indicating the colors to use for the red, yellow, green, cyan and magenta pixels of the source image.
Blue pixels are unaffected, as blue is used within Gearhead Caramel to indicate transparency.
Build with python setup.py build and install with python setup.py install.
Example usage, assuming surface is a PyGame Surface and color_channels an appropriate list of channels:
import pygame
import numpy
import caramelrecolor
dims = (surface.get_width(), surface.get_height())
data = numpy.zeros(dims, numpy.uint32)
pygame.pixelcopy.surface_to_array(data, surface)
caramelrecolor.recolor(data, color_channels)
pygame.pixelcopy.array_to_surface(surface, data)The project license is specified in COPYING and COPYING.LESSER.
