Graphics.Identicon

Core types and definitions for flexible generation of identicons. Please see the Graphics.Identicon.Primitive module for a collection of building blocks to code layers of your identicon.

A basic complete example looks like this:

import Codec.Picture
import Data.ByteString (ByteString)
import Data.Proxy
import Data.Word (Word8)
import Graphics.Identicon
import Graphics.Identicon.Primitive

myImageType :: Proxy (Identicon 4 :+ Consumer 4)
myImageType = Proxy

myImpl = Identicon :+ a
  where
    a :: Word8 -> Word8 -> Word8 -> Word8 -> Layer
    a r g b n = rsym $ onGrid 6 6 n $
      circle $ gradientLR (edge . mid) black (PixelRGB8 r g b)

myGenerator :: Int -> Int -> ByteString -> Maybe (Image PixelRGB8)
myGenerator = renderIdenticon myImageType myImpl

myGenerator takes the desired width, height, and a hash that should have at least 4 bytes in it and returns an identicon corresponding to that hash or Nothing if the hash has less than 4 bytes in it or when width/height don't make sense. The identicon has randomly placed circle with gradient filling changing (horizontally) from black to some color and back to black. The circle is mirrored 4 times, and every repetition is rotated by 90°. This identicon consumes 4 bytes and has one layer.

Basic types

data Identicon (n :: Nat)

Identicon is a type that represents an identicon consisting of zero layers. The type is parametrized over a phantom type n which is a natural number on the type level that represents the number of bytes that should be provided to generate this type of identicon. Bytes typically come from some sort of hash that has a fixed size.

Constructors

Instances

Renderable (Identicon n)

Defined in Graphics.Identicon

Methods

render :: Proxy (Identicon n) -> Implementation (Identicon n) -> Int -> Int -> ByteString -> (ByteString, Int -> Int -> PixelRGB8)

data Consumer (n :: Nat)

Consumer is a type that represents an entity that consumes bytes that are available for identicon generation. It's parametrized over a phantom type n which is a natural number on the type level that represents the number of bytes that this entity consumes. At this moment, a Consumer always adds one Layer to an Identicon when attached to it. The number of bytes, specified as type parameter of Identicon type must be completely consumed by a collection of consumers attached to it. To attach a consumer to Identicon, you use the (:+) type operator, see below.

Instances

(Renderable a, ApplyBytes (ToLayer n)) => Renderable (a :+ Consumer n)

Defined in Graphics.Identicon

Methods

render :: Proxy (a :+ Consumer n) -> Implementation (a :+ Consumer n) -> Int -> Int -> ByteString -> (ByteString, Int -> Int -> PixelRGB8)

data a :+ b infixl 8

The (:+) type operator is used to attach Consumers to Identicon, thus adding layers to it and exhausting the bytes that are available for identicon generation. An example of identicon that can be generated from 16 byte hash is shown below:

type Icon = Identicon 16 :+ Consumer 5 :+ Consumer 5 :+ Consumer 6

The identicon above has three layers.

Constructors

Instances

(Renderable a, ApplyBytes (ToLayer n)) => Renderable (a :+ Consumer n)

Defined in Graphics.Identicon

Methods

render :: Proxy (a :+ Consumer n) -> Implementation (a :+ Consumer n) -> Int -> Int -> ByteString -> (ByteString, Int -> Int -> PixelRGB8)

newtype Layer

Layer is the basic building block of an identicon. It's a function that takes the following arguments (in order):

• Width of identicon
• Height of identicon
• Position on X axis
• Position on Y axis

…and returns a PixelRGB8 value. In this library, an identicon is generated as a “superposition” of several Layers.

ApplyBytes Layer

Defined in Graphics.Identicon

Methods

applyBytes :: Layer -> ByteString -> (ByteString, Layer)

type family BytesAvailable a :: Nat where ...

The BytesAvailable type function calculates how many bytes are available for consumption in a given identicon.

Equations

BytesAvailable (Identicon n) = n

BytesAvailable (x :+ y) = BytesAvailable x

type family BytesConsumed a :: Nat where ...

The BytesConsumed type function calculates how many bytes are consumed in a given identicon.

Equations

BytesConsumed (Identicon n) = 0

BytesConsumed (Consumer n) = n

BytesConsumed (x :+ y) = BytesConsumed x + BytesConsumed y

type family Implementation a where ...

The Implementation type function returns the type of the code which can implement the given identicon.

Equations

Implementation (Identicon n) = Identicon n

Implementation (a :+ Consumer n) = Implementation a :+ ToLayer n

type family ToLayer (n :: Nat) where ...

The ToLayer type function calculates type that a layer-producing function should have to consume the given number of bytes n.

Equations

ToLayer 0 = Layer

ToLayer n = Word8 -> ToLayer (n - 1)
