Crate franklin

A utility for generating images through evolution.

This crate provides utilities, as well as CLI tool called franklin-cli for generating evolutionary art. Generation of evolutionary art can be separated into three steps:

• mutation,
• calculating fitness and selection,
• breeding the specimens.

Usage

This example shows the minimal code for setting up the generation. All settings are set to default. Only one property it required: source image.

use franklin::{EnvironmentBuilder, ImageReader};

fn run_simulation() {
    let mut environment_builder = EnvironmentBuilder::default();

    let image = ImageReader::load("./example.png").unwrap();
    environment_builder.set_image(image);

    let environment = environment_builder.build().unwrap();
    environment.run().unwrap();
}
