Command line tool for generating markov memes.

Project description

Markov Meme

PyPI version GitHub actions status

Wouldn't it be great to generate themed memes with Markov Models? Or just randomly generated text? I think so too.

Usage

Install

You can install from pypi

pip install markovmeme

or install from the repository directly:

$ git clone https://github.com/vsoch/markovmeme
$ python setup.py install

Usage

You can see the basic usage as follows. Basically, there is a "generate" command:

$ markov-meme 
usage: markov-meme [-h] {generate} ...

Markov Meme Generator

optional arguments:
  -h, --help  show this help message and exit

actions:
  actions for Markov Meme Generator

  {generate}  markovmeme actions
    generate  generate a meme

You can see the corpus available by looking at the generate help:

$ markov-meme generate --help
usage: markov-meme generate [-h] [--outfile OUTFILE] [--fontsize FONTSIZE]
                            [--font {OpenSans-Regular,Pacifico-Regular,Anton-Regular}]
                            [--corpus {hamlet,dr_seuss,trump_speech,the_office,office/stanley,office/toby,office/meredith,office/holly,office/creed,office/oscar,office/deangelo,office/david,office/dwight,office/kelly,office/phyllis,office/jim,office/nellie,office/gabe,office/clark,office/roy,office/karen,office/michael,office/andy,office/charles,office/kevin,office/pam,office/ryan,office/erin,office/robert,office/darryl,office/pete,office/jan,office/jo,office/angela}]
                            [--custom-corpus CUSTOM_CORPUS]
                            [--image CUSTOM_IMAGE] [--no-model]

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  --outfile OUTFILE     the output file to save the image (defaults to
                        randomly generated png)
  --fontsize FONTSIZE   font size of text (if desired) defaults to 16
  --font {OpenSans-Regular,Pacifico-Regular,Anton-Regular}
                        choice of font (defaults to open sans)
  --corpus {hamlet,dr_seuss,trump_speech,the_office,office/stanley,office/toby,office/meredith,office/holly,office/creed,office/oscar,office/deangelo,office/david,office/dwight,office/kelly,office/phyllis,office/jim,office/nellie,office/gabe,office/clark,office/roy,office/karen,office/michael,office/andy,office/charles,office/kevin,office/pam,office/ryan,office/erin,office/robert,office/darryl,office/pete,office/jan,office/jo,office/angela}
                        the corpus to use to generate the meme, matches to
                        images.
  --custom-corpus CUSTOM_CORPUS
                        A custom corpus file, full path
  --image CUSTOM_IMAGE  A custom image file, full path
  --no-model            Don't generate a sentence from corpus, just randomly
                        select sentence.

Random Generation

To generate a meme from a random corpus, you can just run:

$ markov-meme generate

If the randomly selected corpus doesn't have matching images, you'll see

No images exist for corpus office/clark. Please specify --image.

Corpus and Image Selection

And you can run the same command again, or specify a specific corpus and image.

$ markov-meme generate --corpus office/michael --image markovmeme/data/images/office/michael1.png

The same can be done for specifying a custom corpus, which should be a text file with lines to generate the model from.

$ markov-meme generate --custom-corpus markovmeme/data/corpus/office/michael.txt --image markovmeme/data/images/office/michael2.png

Skip Model

If you don't want to use a model (and want real lines from some corpus) add --no-model

$ markov-meme generate --no-model

Interactive Python

For the most part, text size and number of characters are limited to fit reasonable within 1-3 lines. If you want to customize or otherwise play around with this, you can interact with the class directly:

from markovmeme.main import MemeImage
from markovmeme.text import generate_text

# corpus is absolute path, or relative to module's data/corpus folder
corpus = "office/michael"

text = generate_text(corpus=corpus, use_model=True, size=10)

# Set image to full path, or None to select based on corpus
meme = MemeImage(image=None, corpus=corpus)

# Add text generated, centered on top
meme.write_text(text, fontsize=args.fontsize, font=font)

# Leave outfile as None to generate random name
meme.save_image(None)
