Codemap

Look at your code from a distance

Codemap creates pixel images of your source files. This is the output of Codemap when used with its own code:

Installation

Codemap is contained in a single Python script that can be easily downloaded and executed in your terminal.

You also need PyPNG and Pygments

To install the first you can simply run:

curl -LO https://raw.github.com/drj11/pypng/master/code/png.py

You can download Pygments from the Python Package Index. For installation of packages from PyPI, we recommend Pip, which works on all major platforms.

Under Linux, most distributions include a package for Pygments, usually called pygments or python-pygments. You can install it with the package manager as usual.

Finally, you can install optional Pygments styles to be used in the codemaps. For example, to install Solarized run:

pip install pygments-style-solarized

Usage

usage: codemap.py [-h] [-i INPUT] [-o OUTPUT] [-s STYLE] [-d]

Transform your source files in codemap images.

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -i INPUT, --input INPUT
                        Path of the folder containing the source files.
                        Default: the current folder.
  -o OUTPUT, --output OUTPUT
                        Path of the folder where the images will be stored.
                        Default: a folder called codemap inside the current
                        folder.
  -s STYLE, --style STYLE
                        Style of the output (see Pygments style)
  -d, --debug           Print debug output

Example: run the following command to generate the image above

python -i /path/to/codemap -o /path/to/outputFolder -s solarizeddark
