This is the Intermediate level python project to do some awesome drawing animation using the turtle module, hope it grows in the future. It is a Python module for animating drawings of images. The sketchpy module is created on top of the turtle module in Python. To install sketchpy on your computer, you can go to your command prompt (command line) and run the following command.

• Just install the package pip install sketchpy
• Followed by pip install --upgrade sketchpy to update the package to the latest version.
• Import it to you project import sketchpy and use as you want😊

• Turtle
• Open-cv
• Pillow
• numpy
• Svgpathtools

• you can install the latest version with either

    pip install sketchpy==0.1.8

or

    pip install sketchpy --U

• This version 0.1.8 uses multiprocessing for processing the single svg file in 4 different threads to reduce the time for loading the svg file
• Sample
  
• And I have included a new function named get_svg() from utils to convert your Image to svg, this function opens your default web browser to get you to the best svg converting website
• You can use the function as followes

      from sketchpy import canvas
      canvas.get_svg()
  

• Python
• Basic text editor
• creativity😂

    pip install sketchpy

it should probably work, If not then try the following code

    pip install turtle open-cv wheel sketchpy

Open your code editor and write the example Python code snippets given below. Run your code and see the magic by yourself.

    from sketchpy import library as lib
    obj = lib.rdj()
    obj.draw()

    from sketchpy import library
    myObject = library.tom_holland()
    myObject.draw()

    from sketchpy import library as lib
    
    obj = lib.bts()
    obj.draw()

    from sketchpy import library as lib

    obj = lib.vijay()
    obj.draw()

    from sketchpy import library
    myObject = library.ironman_ascii()
    myObject.draw()

The recent version of the package includes a class named trace_from_image(), which allowes you to get the same output as using a svg file without the need to convert it to a svg file. hecnce it reduces the run time and it is much effecient.

• To know more about this new class visit the blog post here.
• A sample output of the class trace_from_image().
• you can take a view about how the class working in here

Sample Code:

    from sketchpy impor canvas
    obj = canvas.trace_from_image("Image Path")
    obj.draw()

- Path: Path of the image
- Scale:
      -scaling factor for the sketched image,
      - less than 1 => smaller than original image
      - equal to 1 => original size
      - greater than 1 => greater than original image

- intensity -> intensity of details, keep the value between 0 and 255, optimal value lies between(200 - 255)
- save -> take a screenshot when the program stops sketching, false by default

used to trace the image line by line.

Example Code :

    from sketchpy impor canvas
    obj = canvas.sketch_from_image("Image Path")
    obj.draw(threshold = 127)

- path -> path of the image
- save -> used to same the results

you can watch the example video from here

You can sketch image uinsg the class color_sketch_from_svg, which takes the inpu in svg formate and then sketches it. Example Code:

    from sketchpy impor canvas
    obj = canvas.color_sketch_from_svg("Image Path")
    obj.draw()

Example output

- color_sketch_from_svg
    - path -> path of the svg file
    - scale -> zoom value
    - x_offset -> amount of movemnt in x direction
    - y_offset -> amount of movemnt in y direction
    - save -> (True by defaule)= take a screenshot and save it
- load_svg
    - file_name -> name of the npy array, you can use this array data to sketch images directly
- draw
    - retain -> retain the window after sketching (true by defaule)
    - file -> file path of the npy file for direct sketching
    - data -> raw data,  should be a list in [[[x1,y1], [x2,y2], ....], [255,255,255]], first nested list is the points and the second list the color
    - x_offset -> amount of movement in x direction while sketching
    - y_offset -> amount of movement in y direction while sketching
    - scale -> zoom value while sketching
    - speed -> speed of sketching

Insted of waiting for the svg file to load, you can saved .npy file and use that for future use, use the following code to draw your image from saved data file

    from sketchpy import canvas
    obj = canvas.color_sketch_from_svg(None)
    obj.draw(file = 'data.npy')
