qrcode

This is a simple python script meant to be run from the cli, that takes a logo in svg format, and overlays the logo on top of the svg, in it's center. Exact parameters are hard-coded in the script. This was made to serve Terminal Labs's own need, so we didn't put much effort into generalizing this. But you should be able to alter the hard-coded paramters and starting files to match your need.

Install

To use, without changing anything create an environment with the needed requirements. You can either:

# Activate/install python 3.11.6 through any means
pip install -r requirements.lock

or, if you have Rye installed:

rye pin 3.11.6
rye sync

This is not compatible with Python 3.12 at this time.

Use

python qrfactory.py

The above will run out of the box, and generate a readable QR code with the TL logo in the center, pointing to a shortened url that forwards to terminallabs.com.

To customize this, you can:

• swap out the logo for any other square svg
• change the data that's encoded into the QR code, currently living at to_encode = "trml.io" in the script
• change the background color, currently living at background_color = "#2F9A41"

Note that the longer the encoded string is, the more complex the QR code is.
