simple_img_gallery

The simplest way to make a static image library, with only a little Python, minimal HTML, and nothing else

Quickstart

./generate_gallery.py ./sample_images

Alternatively, instead of sample_images, pass a full path to a directory of images of your choice:

./generate_gallery.py /path/to/image_directory

The script will create an index.html in that directory, and view it with Firefox.

Installation

cd simple_img_gallery
python ./setup.py install --prefix=${INSTALL_PATH}

where INSTALL_PATH must be on your PYTHONPATH.

The installation step (to a directory that lies on your PYTHONPATH) allows you to call generate_gallery.py from any directory.

Features

• Tile N images per row: pass an argument after the directory path. (The default is 3.) For example, to tile 6 per row:

	generate_gallery.py /path/to/image_directory 6

• Click on any image to zoom (thank you browser)

• Right click on any image and "Save Image As" (if you want it for your plots)

Note:

• Currently only supports tiling the images in alphabetical order.

Future features:

• Support randomization, down-sampling
