# ExPaint

[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/mtrudel/ex_paint.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/mtrudel/ex_paint)

[![Hex.pm](https://img.shields.io/hexpm/v/ex_paint.svg?style=flat-square)](https://hex.pm/packages/ex_paint)

ExPaint is a simple 2D rasterizer, based (for now, at least) on the [egd](https://github.com/erlang/egd) library.

Available primitives include lines, rectangles, arcs, polygons, and simple bitmap font support. Dumping of the

resulting bitmap is supported in a few forms, including a 4-bit greyscale format as used by devices such as [SSD1322

based OLED displays](https://github.com/mtrudel/ssd1322).

The library leans heavily on egd for now, but the eventual intent is to implement an optimized retained mode backing

store using something like a piece table of binaries to provide performant compositing / dumping.

## Usage

```elixir

alias ExPaint.{Font, Color}

{:ok, image} = ExPaint.create(128, 64)

font = Font.load("Helvetica20")

ExPaint.clear(image)

ExPaint.text(image, {10, 30}, font, "Hello World", Color.black())

ExPaint.filled_rect(image, {10, 10}, {20,20}, %Color{r: 230, g: 12, b: 34})

ExPaint.filled_ellipse(image, {50, 10}, {20,20}, %Color{r: 12, g: 12, b: 230})

ExPaint.filled_triangle(image, {90, 30}, {100, 10}, {110, 30}, %Color{r: 230, g: 230, b: 34})

# Write to a png

{:ok, png_data} = ExPaint.render(image, ExPaint.PNGRasterizer)

File.write("foo.png", png_data)

# If you're in iTerm, display inline

ExPaint.render(image, ExPaint.InlineRasterizer)

# If you're pairing with https://github.com/mtrudel/ssd1322

{:ok, four_bit_data} = ExPaint.render(image, ExPaint.FourBitGreyscaleRasterizer)

SSD1322.draw(session, four_bit_data)

```

will render the following image:

![foo](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/79646/87735987-0378c880-c7a5-11ea-9bbf-168637db7381.png)
