A pixel sorting library. Sorts pixels in an image based on input parameters and saves intermediate steps in the sort process as separate images that can then be used to create a video or gif.
Note: this library is still under development and not all planned features are available.
- Only works on PNG images (for now)
- Only saves final sorted image, no intermediate images (for now)
- Only sorts in a straight line (for now)
- Only sorts using
std::sort()(for now) - Only sorts entire image, cannot sort segments (for now)
- Sort value not yet exposed

| CLI Arg | Examples | Description |
|---|---|---|
| --algorithm | Sorting algorithm to use. | [bubblesort, heapsort, insertionsort, introsort, mergesort, quicksort] |
| --angle | The angle to sort at. Only used for --shape line |
[0, 90, 235] |
| --percent | The sort percent to stop at. | [100, 50] |
| --reverse | Reverses the sort direction. | |
| --segment | Will segment the image and sort each segment separately. | |
| --shape | The shape to follow when sorting. equation allows for generic functions to be used in the form of y = f(x) |
[line, circle, equation] |
| --value | The value to use for sorting. If auto will attempt to choose the most "distinct" value. |
[r, rg, rgba, auto] |
