snipstrip.py

This module provides the ComicPage class which exports methods to split images of comic pages into individual rows or frames thus making it easier to read comics on handheld devices such as mobile phones, PDAs and handheld multimedia players.

API Usage:

Initialization:

from snipstrip import ComicPage p = ComicPage('some_comic.png')

To snip off the rows within the comic page ...

rows = p.get_by_row() # returns all the rows from the comic for row in rows: ... p.page.crop(row).show() # displays snipped rows in sequence ...

To snip the frames of any row

frames = p.get_by_frame(row) # returns all the frames from the row for frame in p.frames[row]: ... self.page.crop(frame).show() # displays snipped frames ...

To 'parse' the entire ComicPage in one go

p.process() # call p.get_by_frame() over all p.get_by_row() rows

CLI Usage:

$ python snipstrip.py [...]

where arguments are comic strip images

TODO:

• Distutils-lify the module
• Complete the dump() method to serialize the process()ed data
