# text-pic
This tool generates a social media-friendly graphic from some text. It's especially made to be paired with [WriteFreely](https://writefreely.org), a minimalist blogging platform.
## Usage
To run this, you'll need Go installed. With that, you can compile the project:
```
go get github.com/writeas/text-pic/cmd/wfgraphic-cli
```
Then you can run `wfgraphic-cli` with the options below. The actual content of the graphic is read from `stdin`, which you can either supply when prompted to, or pipe in (e.g. `cat quote.txt | ./wfgraphic-cli`).
```
Usage of wfgraphic-cli:
-font string
Post font (options: "serif", "sans", "mono") (default "serif")
-i string
WriteFreely instance hostname (e.g. pencil.writefree.ly) (default "write.as")
-o string
Image output filename (default "out.png")
-u string
WriteFreely author username (for multi-user instances)
```
