ImgConvert

ImgConvert is a tool to convert images from an arbitrary format into PNG.

Installation

$ pip install foliantcontrib.imgconvert

Config

To enable the preprocessor, add imgconvert to preprocessors section in the project config:

preprocessors:
    - imgconvert

The preprocessor has a number of options with the following default values:

preprocessors:
    - imgconvert:
        convert_path: convert
        cache_dir: !path .imgconvertcache
        image_width: 0
        formats: {}
convert_path
Path to convert binary. By default, it is assumed that you have this command in PATH. ImageMagick must be installed.
cache_dir
Directory to store processed images. They may be reused later.
image_width
Width of PNG images in pixels. By default (in case when the value is 0), the width of each image is set by ImageMagick automatically. Default behavior is recommended. If the width is given explicitly, file size may increase.
formats
Settings that apply to each format of source images.

The formats option may be used to define lists of targets for each format. If targets for a format are not specified explicitly, the preprocessor will be applied to all targets.

Example:

formats:
    eps:
        targets:
            - site
    svg:
        targets:
            - docx

Formats should be named in lowercase.
