Code Picture

Code Picture parses a Ruby file and generates a picture of the code structure. It leverages the Prism parser to lex the code and then generates a simple HTML pixel art.

Usage

CLI

Install the gem

gem install code_picture

Then run the command:

code-picture path-to-file.rb

This will generate a code-picture.html file in the current directory.

Options

You can customize the generated image and the output file with the following options:

Usage: code-picture path-to-file.rb [options]
    -p, --pixel-size=SIZE            Define the pixel size of the generated image
    -r, --max-pixels-per-row=SIZE    Define the maximum number of pixels per row
    -t, --theme=THEME                Define the theme of the generated image [options: one-dark-pro (default), random, or a path to a YAML file]
    -o, --output=FILE                Write the generated image to the given file path
    -v, --version                    Displays app version
    -h, --help                       Prints this help
