Civ_V_Map_Plotter

This application is inteded to process the map produced at the end of each game into a more aesthetically-pleasing rendition.

It does this by overlaying a hexagonal grid atop the PNG file read in, and then sampling/averaging the color of subhexagonal regions in each hex.

See the example directory for before/after images from screen captures.

Note that the test case directory does not include results to avoid the inclusion of copious, unnecessary, binary files.

Required Python Packages

• Numpy
• PIL
• Pyx

Tested with Python 2.7.4, but expected to be fully compliant with Python 3.

Optional External Software

• ImageMagick (for convert and/or mogrify for post-processing)

Execution Instructions

From the command line, put the image (e.g., image.png) in the directory with the .py files and run

python Civ_V_Map_Plotter.py image.png large --pdf

where large is the size of the Civilization V map (i.e., duel, tiny, small, standard, large, huge).

One might then choose to use convert to convert the generated PDF to a hi-res PNG as:

convert -density 200 -resize 50% image_cropped_processed.pdf image_final_map.png
