# text-pic

This tool generates a social media-friendly graphic from some text. It's especially made to be paired with [WriteFreely](https://writefreely.org), a minimalist blogging platform.

## Usage

To run this, you'll need Go installed. With that, you can compile the project:

```
go get github.com/writefreely/text-pic/cmd/wfgraphic-cli
```

Then you can run `wfgraphic-cli` with the options below.

```
Usage of wfgraphic-cli:
-font string
Post font (options: "serif", "sans", "mono") (default "serif")
-h string
WriteFreely instance hostname (e.g. "pencil.writefree.ly")
-o string
Image output filename (default "out.png")
-size string
Image size, either a single number for a square (e.g. "900") or a combined width and height (e.g. "1080x1920") (default "1024")
-u string
WriteFreely author username (for multi-user instances)
```

The actual content of the graphic is read from `stdin`, which you can either supply when prompted to, or pipe in, for example:

```
cat quote.txt | ./wfgraphic-cli -h write.as -u blog
```

## Examples

Sample using default fonts.

Sample using 'sans' font and a custom domain.
