# textrain
Get png images for words
The `textrain` module can be run as follows
```bash
textrain word1 word2 ... wordn
```
which generates one png file for each word.
## Install
First, ensure that you have the required tools
* `pdftotext`
* `pdflatex`
* `pdftoppm`
* `pdfcrop`
which on Ubuntu can be obtained by running
`sudo apt install texlive-latex-base texlive-extra-utils poppler-utils`
Then install **textrain** with Pip:
`pip install git+https://github.com/pgdr/textrain`
## Example
Running
```bash
textrain kristian flikka lol
```
generates three images:
* `kristian-1.png`
* `flikka-1.png`
* `lol-1.png`
Generating a pangram:
```
textrain the quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog
```
To generate all the letters in the alphabet, you might have to do a silly hack.
The command `textrain a b c d e` will unfortunately interpret "abcde" as the
only word, instead of three 1-letter words. This can be circumvented by running
`textrain omg a b c d e ...`
