A simple python command line tool for sort pixels in an image.
Based on the works of [Kim Asendorf](https://github.com/kimasendorf/ASDFPixelSort).

The script blocks pixels into dark and light areas using a contrast mask.
Then it sorts the pixels in a given direction via their luminance.

- You can increase/decrease the contrast by setting the threshold.
- You can also invert the mask to sort the light pixels instead of the dark ones.

## Usage

### Install

```bash
pip install git+https://github.com/Blotz/pixelsort-cli
```

or

```bash
pip install pixelsort-cli
```

## Examples

```bash
pixelsort --help
```

```bash
usage: pixelsort [-h] [--threshold THRESHOLD] [--sort_brightest SORT_BRIGHTEST] [--reverse_sorting REVERSE_SORTING] [--output OUTPUT]
                 image_path angle

Command line tool for sorting pixels in images

positional arguments:
  image_path            path to image
  angle                 angle that the image is sorted. 0° is up. [0, 360]

options:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  --threshold THRESHOLD
                        threshold for contrast. [-1.0, 1.0] Default: 1.0
  --sort_brightest SORT_BRIGHTEST
                        Sort the brightest area of the image. Default: True
  --reverse_sorting REVERSE_SORTING
                        Sorts the pixels from lightest to darkest instead of darkest to lightest. Default: False
  --output OUTPUT       path to output file
```

```bash
pixelsort data/mountains.jpg 90 --threshold 1.2
```
