#HexPy

HexPy is a project focused on using arrays of 8-byte color hexcodes. The old readme is now outdated

The main part of HexPy, pgexec, is a program to output an array (or 'list') of hexcodes. It has a simple gui menu, and is accessed from a CLI, though an importable library is planned. pgexec is designed to be able to use almost any hex array you throw at it, and to not care about format. You can even feed it arrays generated by non-Python programs. The only requirement is a variable, w, to specify image width. For an example of the format, click here

pgexec guide:

###Installation is easy:

1. Have Python 3.4 or later installed. Note: on most Linux distros, you must install python3-tk as well v2.0-release: pgexec now automatically downloads dependencies
2. Download and decompress the .zip or .tar from Github
3. cd to the uncompressed directory
4. Do chmod 777 pgexec
5. Either add it to your PATH or run it with ./pgexec

###To test HexPy:

1. Use a pre-made image or run the ranhex.py script to generate a test image.
2. From a terminal do pgexec myimage.pgf You can also add a v at the end if you want to see live stats and errors raised directly from Python. However, v tends to impact performance pretty heavily.
