Image::Markup::Utilities

Raku package for functions that facilitate the import, export, and viewing of images in different Markup types of documents.

Installation

From GitHub:

zef install https://github.com/antononcube/Raku-Image-Markup-Utilities.git

From Zef ecosystem:

zef install Image::Markup::Utilities;

Usage examples

Import an image and display it:

use Image::Markup::Utilities;
my $img = image-import($*CWD ~ '/resources/RandomMandala.png', format => 'asis');
image-from-base64($img);

Remark: GitHub's Markdown renderer does not display the image imported above, but other Markdown rendering apps, like, One Markdown or Visual Studio Code do show the image.

Remark: If this Markdown file is converted into an HTML file, say, with "Markdown::Grammar", [AAp3], the image is seen any browser.

Implementation notes

• Initial version of the function image-from-base64 was implemented in "Text::Plot", [AAp1].

  • In order to streamline the presentation material of the video "Using Wolfram Engine in Raku sessions", [AAv1].

• Initial versions of the functions image-encode and image-export were implemented in the package "WWW::OpenAI", [AAp2].

  • Now "WWW::OpenAI" depends on this package.
