Memes

Script to convert images to memes.

Usage

Prerequisites

argparse==1.1
json==2.0.9
PILLOW==5.1.0

Structure

The folder data will have folders within it which will represent categories. Each category folder will have a name and a file “data.txt” within it which will hold the category detail. Within each category, there can be sub-categories or images. Images can have any descriptive name say img.jpg . Along with the image, there maybe another file img.json which will contain the image data.

Format of img.json

{
	"img_name": {
		"description": "img_description"
	}
}

Preprocessing

Images in data folder can be preprocessed by running the following command.

python preprocess.py --data="path" --width=600

Preprocessed images are scaled according to the width provided and converted to jpg format.

Indexing

Index script maintains index.json which contains the description of images present in the data. Description varies depending on the presence of img.json.

python index_data.py

Searching

With searchp script now you can search for images present index json file. Current version compares the search string to the description of images.

There are two types of search:

Index - Displays image in accordance with input .Can be enabled by setting index_search to 1
String - Displays image from search string entered .Enabled by default.

Each of the types have two modes:

Command Line

python searchp.py --mode=0 --search_str=string 
python searchp.py --mode=0 --index_search=1 --search_idx=index

Interactive

python searchp.py --mode=1

Meme Generation

The current version of the script has the ability to create memes in four different formats using custom user defined images. The script can be either in interactive or command line depending on chosen mode.

Format 1

Text can be added to the top of the image in this format.

python meme_generator.py --mode=0 --format=1 --image1=path --text1=text

Format 2

Text can be added to the bottom of the image.

python meme_generator.py --mode=0 --format=2 --image1=path --text1=text

Format 3

Text can be added to both top and bottom of the image.

python meme_generator.py --mode=0 --format=3 --image1=path --text1=top --text2=bottom

Format 4

Two images are concatenated sideways and contains both the top and bottom text.

python meme_generator.py --mode=0 --format=4 --image1=path --image2=path --text1=top --text2=bottom

Above formats can also be accessed interactively using mode=1
