# Tapita: a book cover generator
|
|
|
|
This is of very limited usefulness for the average person, but
|
|
if you have ever needed to generate book covers for a few
|
|
thousand files out of book metadata, then this may be for you!
|
|
|
|
The image it generates has some colorful "art" thanks to dicebear.com
|
|
which, again, will not change unless you change the title or subtitle
|
|
of the book.
|
|
|
|
This is based off code from [Tenprintcover](https://github.com/mgiraldo/tenprintcover-py)
|
|
although I don't think anything survives of the original code, which has been ported
|
|
to Pillow and de-c64-fied.
|
|
|
|
Usage:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
$ python -m tapita --help
|
|
Usage: python -m tapita [OPTIONS]
|
|
|
|
Options:
|
|
-t, --title <title> Book title
|
|
-s, --subtitle <subtitle> Book subtitle
|
|
-a, --author <author> Book author
|
|
-o, --output <filename> Output file (- for stdout)
|
|
--help Show this message and exit.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Example usage:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
$ python -m tapita -t "Dunes" -s "Oh, worms!" -a "Frank Herbert (has no sons)" -o cover.jpg
|
|
```
|
|
Which produces this image:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
There are plentiful opportunities for customization, which I will
|
|
probably not do anything about.

TODO: packaging and such.
