Writing a script

Deblk · **Joined:** Dec 22, 2011 **Posts:** 399

Hiya....was wondering if anybody could help me by writing a script/HTML code...I will pay for this.

Its for converting PNG image that had been indexed to a few colours to a written form so that it can be made into a pattern for crochet...1 pixel per stitch

This has been done for knitting but I would like some changes as it is for crochet...see link below
SourceForge
Because of malware being found in SourceForge downloads, this link has been removed.

Some of the changes would be pattern reading vertically rather than horizontal and some of the wording. I know you need more info but if anybody can help me please contact me and we can go from there.

Simple sample of pattern below

I would so appreciate this...TIA

I may be able to help. Possibily with the design of a filter for the G'MIC plug-in that output the desired text file.
I'll try to start something this afternoon.

Deblk, I'm doing some progress...
You need to tell me what would be your preferred output. So far, I have something that does this :

From this image :

So here is a first attempt for your filter Debkl.
You should be able to find it in Testing / Ronounours / Output crochet patterns.

Let me know if you have ideas to improve it.
Here is the kind of files it generates :

Wow....cannot see this in Gmic...do I have to have the latest version?

You need at least version 1.6.5.0 to get it

For what it's worth, here is the output of my script.

First, the image needs to be placed within a grid where each cell represents a "stitch".

Then when the script is run ("File->Create->Crochet Pattern by Viktoria"), the following tables are produced. Note that the direction of the stitching alternates between left-to-right and right-to-left.

Hope you show us your finished project Debik. I have done one pile of crocheting in my day but never got a digital pattern before. This must be a first by our amazing coders we have here in GC.

Maybe you could crochet the following pattern someday (which was designed by Viktoria Lyn):

Its what I do, create images to graph form specifically for people to crochet but some find it easier to read a graph in written form which is where I was having the problem.

It is brilliant what has been done for me and I cannot thank them enough

This would make a nice counted cross stitch pattern too Saul.

Some new improvements for this filter.

You can now precisely set the orientation you want to follow when rendering the image, as well as the main working axis (columns or rows).
The web page generated has been also improved. An example can be found here :

http://gmic.eu/model.html

What do you think ? Is there any other improvements to do ?

Here's an old Script-fu that creates such patterns as well. Still cool that David implemented such a system in G'MIC.
