# stitchify
Convert pixel art to cross-stitch patterns

Requires Python 3.

Before running stitchify, do the following (on Linux):

`> sudo apt-get install gtk+-3.0`

`> pip3 install argparse gooey pillow`

This tool assumes that 1px = 1 stitch.

I'm deliberately not randomizing the symbols. Sending the same input image should result in the same output image every time.

TODO:
* ~~Accept image name on command line.~~
* Change characters to symbols for ease of reading.
* Expand number of symbols.
* ~~Create image from symbolized pixels instead of just printing to screen.~~
* ~~Add grid lines and edge labels to image.~~
* ~~Add legend to image, based on the `symbols` dictionary.~~
* Correspond hex colors to floss colors, where possible.
* ~~(Maybe) add stitch count for each color.~~
* ~~(Maybe) add GUI.~~
* Make sure legend width doesn't exceed image width.
