Birkana SVG generator.

Recently I read this awesome article about representing hexadecimal numbers using runic system. So I created this little program that takes hexadecimal string on stdin and spits out SVG data on stdout. The code is not that nice, I just wanted a working version.

Download:

You can download binary versions for most common platforms from releases section.

Build:

Since cross-compilation is not in very much working state right now, you'll have to build the binary yourselves.

Steps: * install rust.

git clone https://github.com/lunemec/rust-birkana cd rust-birkana cargo build --release mv target/release/rust-birkana .

Now you should be able use the program as described in usage section.

Usage:

echo "0123456789abcdef" | rust-birkana > target.svg

This results in this kind of SVG image:

This is a image of my name encoded in UTF-8 and represented as HEX:

You can now use this crate as a module:

In your Cargo.toml add:

[dependencies]
rust_birkana = "1.1"

And use it like this: ```rust extern crate rust_birkana;

use rustbirkana::documentfrom_string;

let document = documentfromstring(mystring); let svgstring = document.to_string(); ```
