Or construct more complex queries in a local SQLite database.  `phylopic-tools` also offers retrieval of organism images by querying higher-level taxonomic names (e.g. Primates), enabled by [ETE3](https://github.com/etetoolkit/ete) and data from [NCBI Taxonomy](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/taxonomy).\n\nFeatures:\n* Local copy of all PhyloPic SVG images\n* SVGs compressed for better page load times\n* Get all PhyloPic SVGs by:\n  * Organism (e.g. _Homo sapiens_)\n  * Taxonomic descendants (e.g. all Homininae, or all Primates)\n  * License (e.g. public domain)\n  * Creator (e.g. T. Michael Keesey)\n\n# Installation\n## Local copy of all PhyloPic SVG images\nSimply clone this repo:\n```\n$ git clone https://github.com/eweitz/phylopic-tools.git\n```\nor download and unzip it:\n```\n$ curl \"https://codeload.github.com/eweitz/phylopic-tools/zip/master\" -o \"phylopic-tools.zip\"\n$ unzip phylopic-tools.zip\n```\n\n## Enhanced search\nTo enable querying of PhyloPic SVGs, clone this repo as described above, then:\n```\n$ cd phylopic-tools\n$ virtualenv -p python3 env\n$ pip install -r requirements.txt\n$ python3 query.py --create\n```\n\n# Examples\n\nAll images of human:\n```\npython3 query.py --organism \"Homo sapiens\"\n```\n\nAll images of primates:\n```\npython3 query.py --organism \"Primates\" --descendants\n```\n\nAll images of chicken or pig:\n```\npython3 query.py --organism \"Gallus gallus,Sus scrofa\"\n```\n\nAll images that are in the public domain\n```\npython3 query.py --license \"zero,mark\"\n```\nAll images of Carnivora that are in the public domain:\n```\npython3 query.py --organism \"Carnivora\" --descendants --license \"zero,mark\"\n```\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Feweitz%2Fphylopic-tools","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Feweitz%2Fphylopic-tools","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Feweitz%2Fphylopic-tools/lists"}
