Tapestry Program

 

Created to help user to turn every picture to a wonderful tapestry, this program features:

  •  Converts 24bit color image to custom palette (DMC, Anchor, etc.) image.

  •  Palette optimization to small number of colors N is performed, N is chosen by the user.

  •  Various types of tunings are available to refine the result image during palette optimization.

  •  Map all colors to custom set of symbols preserving the color brightness order.

  •  Creates symbol based color-map in PDF format. The generated map could be colored (including symbols and corresponding colors) or black & white (symbols only).

  •  A list of all used colors with their names and numbers, according to the palette, and info about how many times they are used is available.

  •  Additional statistic per color is made to help user determine thread length used.

  •  The size of symbols printed on the map could be customized.

  •  All the symbols used by the program are carefully selected to be easy distinguishable and are encapsulated in custom TrueType-font.
