A ceramic tile pattern generator
Tiles uses a YAML configuration file named config.yaml to generate random ceramic tile patterns. The following is a sample configuration
# Set locale for proper currency formatting
locale: 'en_US.UTF-8'
# 48 inches
width: 48
# 36 inches
height: 36
# 1-inch tiles
tile_size: 1
# $30 per sq. ft.
sq_unit_price: 30
# smallest tile is 1-inch
smallest_unit_per_box: 12
colors: [
'#eeeeee',
'#d6e685',
'#8cc665',
'#44a340',
'#1e6823',
]
# weights are listed top to bottom
color_weights: [
[ 20, 20, 9, 6, 3, 0 ],
[ 1, 3, 3, 6, 4, 1 ],
[ 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 8 ],
[ 0, 0, 1, 4, 7, 12 ],
[ 0, 0, 1, 4, 7, 12 ],
]
# show a border between sections in the output
show_section_boundaries: false
This file sets up a 4' x 3' pattern with 4 colors and 6 vertical sections with varying color weights defined top to bottom. Any number of colors and section are possible but the number of sections must divide evenly into the number of rows ( height / tilesize). This configuration will produces an HTML file with a pattern like the following
pip install -r requirements.txt
cp config.yaml.sample config.yaml
./tiles.py
Open output.html in your browser and refresh as needed.
