*******************************************************************************
Usage
*******************************************************************************
:mod:`emblematic` currently supports only a single mode of operation.
=======================
Generate a basic emblem
=======================
A *basic emblem* can be generated by running:
.. code-block:: console
$ emblematic basic --background="./bg.svg" --icon="./icon.svg" --fill="#feedb4" --output-dir="./output/"
It is composed by:
1. taking the SVG background image contained in the file given as the ``--background`` option, such as the following:
.. figure:: ryg6-bg.png
2023-03-10 22:51:35 +00:00
:width: 150
:height: 150
2. overlaying a rescaled version of the SVG foreground icon contained in the file given as the ``--icon`` option, filled with the color given in the ``--fill`` option, such as the following:
.. figure:: fontawesome-ice-cream.png
2023-03-10 22:51:35 +00:00
:width: 150
:height: 150
3. converting the resulting document to a 2000x2000 PNG file for better compatibility with applications (very few support correctly the ``preserveAspectRatio`` property):
.. figure:: ryg6-ice-cream.png
:width: 150
:height: 150
.. note::
The previous images are SVG files converted to PNG, as ReadTheDocs doesn't seem to work correctly with SVG files.
You can find the original SVG files in the code repository!

---------------------------------
Multiple emblems with one command
---------------------------------
Multiple emblem files can be generated at once.
* Pass the ``--icon`` parameter multiple times to generate emblems with the same settings but different icons:
.. code-block:: console
$ emblematic basic --background="./bg.svg" --icon="./icon1.svg" --icon="./icon2.svg" --icon="./icon3.svg" --fill="#feedb4" --output-dir="./output/"
* Pass a directory as the ``--icon`` parameter to render all contained files matched by the ``**/*.svg`` glob:
.. code-block:: console
$ emblematic basic --background="./bg.svg" --icon="./fontawesome/" --fill="#feedb4" --output-dir="./output/"

Drop shadow
-----------
A drop shadow can be added to icons by passing the ``--icon-shadow-fill``, ``--icon-shadow-x``, ``--icon-shadow-y`` and ``--icon-shadow-blur`` parameters.
.. code-block:: console
$ emblematic basic --background="./bg.svg" --icon="./icon.svg" --fill="#feedb4" --output-dir="./output/" --icon-shadow-fill="#000000" --icon-shadow-x="8" --icon-shadow-y="-4" --icon-shadow-blur="16"
