This was optimized for running on local machines, and on Google Colab. Here are the specifications for running on a local machine, and on a Google Colab environment:

• Clone this repository with git clone https://github.com/raidenblackout/AutoIDCardGenerator

• Load the member datasheet file
  • NOTE: while loading the file, ensure there are 4 fixed columns: Name, ID, Email Address, Blood Group, Member Type (with these headers)
• Download the images as a directory and place it in the root directory with this file. The path for one image MUST be accessible as imgs/109230249.png

  • generate(filename(string), test=False(boolean), length=10(integer))
    • filename: the path of the excel file
    • test: optional, if you want to conduct a test on the data to see its output
    • length: optional and works with test, set the range of test examples you want to generate
• The generate IDs are now outputted in the ids directory located in the root directory of the project
