Containerise `primitive` for effortless art generation using Docker

This Docker image has been made to encapsulate primitive, a command-line application designed to reproduce images with geometric primitives.

Build the Docker Image

To build the Docker image, navigate to the directory containing the Dockerfile and execute the following command:

docker build -t primitive-docker .

This command builds a Docker image using the Dockerfile in the current directory and tags it as primitive-docker.

Interact with the Application

You can interact with the primitive application as you would normally. Refer to the primitive GitHub page for details on how to use the application.

For example, to view help:

➜  docker run docker-primitive:latest --help                                                                                                                                    

Usage of primitive:
  -a int
        alpha value (default 128)
  -bg string
        background color (hex)
  -i string
        input image path
  -j int
        number of parallel workers (default uses all cores)
  -m int
        0=combo 1=triangle 2=rect 3=ellipse 4=circle 5=rotatedrect 6=beziers 7=rotatedellipse 8=polygon (default 1)
  -n value
        number of primitives
  -nth int
        save every Nth frame (put "%d" in path) (default 1)
  -o value
        output image path
  -r int
        resize large input images to this size (default 256)
  -rep int
        add N extra shapes per iteration with reduced search
  -s int
        output image size (default 1024)
  -v    verbose
  -vv
        very verbose

To process an image with 1000 triangles with a verbsose output:

docker run -v $(pwd)/primitive:/primitive docker-primitive:latest -i app/input/lemur.jpg -o app/output/lemur.jpg -n 1000 -m 1 -v

Please note that this Docker image is a containerised version of the primitive application. For issues related to the application itself, please refer to the primitive GitHub page.
