Asset Generation

Generating PNGs

from PIL import Image, ImageDraw, ImageFont
img = Image.new('RGB', (600, 400), color = 'white')
d = ImageDraw.Draw(img)
font = ImageFont.truetype("arial.ttf", 30)
d.text((10,10), "Hello World", fill=(0,0,0), font=font)
d.rectangle([(50, 50), (150, 150)], fill="blue")
img.save("poster.png")

Generating PDFs

from fpdf import FPDF
pdf = FPDF()
pdf.add_page()
pdf.set_font("Arial", size=12)
pdf.cell(200, 10, txt="Generated PDF", ln=True, align="C")
pdf.output("generated.pdf")
