Letter avatar generation for Go.
Generate a 100x100px 'A'-letter avatar:
img, err := letteravatar.Draw(100, 'A', nil)
The third parameter options *Options can be used for customization:
type Options struct {
Font *truetype.Font
Palette []color.Color
LetterColor color.Color
PaletteKey string
FontSize int
}
Using a custom palette:
img, err := letteravatar.Draw(100, []rune{'A'}, &letteravatar.Options{
Palette: []color.Color{
color.RGBA{255, 0, 0, 255},
color.RGBA{0, 255, 0, 255},
color.RGBA{0, 0, 255, 255},
},
})
