Project description
About tgapp-placeholder
tgapp-placeholder is a Pluggable application for TurboGears2 that allows placeholder images generation on the fly. Inspired by http://dummyimage.com/ and https://github.com/darkrho/django-dummyimage.
Installing
placeholder can be installed both from pypi or from github:
pip install tgapp-placeholder
should just work for most of the users
Plugging placeholder
In your application config/app_cfg.py import plug:
from tgext.pluggable import plug
Then at the end of the file call plug with placeholder:
plug(base_config, 'placeholder')
You will be able to access the plugged application at http://localhost:8080/placeholder.
Using placeholder
You are now able to get your fake images by calling:
http://you-application/placeholder/{width} #for a square image http://you-application/placeholder/{width}x{height} http://you-application/placeholder/{width}x{height}?text={some text value}
- actually the parameters you can play with are:
text : a custom online text wich size is calculated to fit your image width
bgcolor : the background color in HEX rgb form (default set to ‘DDDDDD’)
color : the text color in HEX rgb form (default set to ‘888888’)
format : available formats available here (default set to PNG)
font_size : font_size of the eventtual text. If none is provided it is automagically calculated to fit the whole text in the image width.
