Usage

Let's generate some super-rare never-before-seen nouns (pixel avatars).

Note: For best merging / composing (of the attributes) use the order 1) Body, 2) (Body) Accessory, 3) Head and 4) Glasses:

require 'nouns'

#####
# Noun No. 1
noun = Noun::Image.generate( 'Body Grayscale 1',
                             'Checker Bigwalk Rainbow',
                             'Head Beer',
                             'Glasses Square Fullblack' )
noun.save( "noun1.png")
noun.zoom(4).save( "[e-mail]" )

## let's add a background
noun = noun.background( '#638596' )
noun.save( "noun1b.png")
noun.zoom(4).save( "[e-mail]" )

Voila!

In 4x:

###
#  Noun No. 2
noun = Noun::Image.generate( 'Body Red',
                             'Txt LOL',
                             'Head Weed',
                             'Glasses Square Black RGB' )
noun.save( "noun2.png")
noun.zoom(4).save( "[e-mail]" )


###
#  Noun No. 3
noun = Noun::Image.generate( 'Body Gold',
                             'Chain Logo',
                             'Head Ape',
                             'Glasses Square Teal' )
noun.save( "noun3.png")
noun.zoom(4).save( "[e-mail]" )


###
#  Noun No. 4
noun = Noun::Image.generate( 'Body Green',
                             'Dollar Bling',
                             'Head Bear',
                             'Glasses Square Blue' )
noun.save( "noun4.png")
noun.zoom(4).save( "[e-mail]" )


###
#  Noun No. 5
noun = Noun::Image.generate( 'Body Gradient Pride',
                             'Bling Love',
                             'Head Bubblegum',
                             'Glasses Square Yellow Saturated' )
noun.save( "noun5.png")
noun.zoom(4).save( "[e-mail]" )

Voila!

And so on.

Bonus - Look-Up Attributes (Via Built-In Spritesheet)

Let's look-up some attributes:

body_gold                 = Noun::Sheet.find_by( name: 'Body Gold' )
txt_pi                    = Noun::Sheet.find_by( name: 'Txt Pi' )
head_weed                 = Noun::Sheet.find_by( name: 'Head Weed' )
glasses_square_black_rgb  = Noun::Sheet.find_by( name: 'Glasses Square Black RGB' )

body_gold.save( "body_gold.png" )
txt_pi.save( "txt_pi.png" )
head_weed.save( "head_weed.png" )
glasses_square_black_rgb.save( "glasses_square_black_rgb.png" )

body_gold.zoom( 4 ).save( "[e-mail]" )
txt_pi.zoom( 4 ).save( "[e-mail]" )
head_weed.zoom( 4 ).save( "[e-mail]" )
glasses_square_black_rgb.zoom( 4 ).save( "[e-mail]" )

Voila!

In 4x:

And so on.
