PixelPicker

A wrapper of RMagick which detects the color name used most often from a image file.

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'pixel_picker'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install pixel_picker

Let's first see a basic example of detecting a most used color name with command-line tool.

$ bin/color_name /path/to/image/file
purple

On the other hand, if we want the ruby interface, we can use PixelPicker::ColorName.new.

pixel = PixelPicker::ColorName.new('/path/to/image/file')

# Get the color palette from a image file
pixel.palette

# Get a color name which used most often
pixel.max

# Get a color name which used least often
pixel.min

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run rake spec to run the tests. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.
