Attending the
inaugural golang ny group at the Tumblr offices, inspired me to add
tumblrgrid to the collection of
SVGo clients.
Tumblrgrid makes a SVG file that displays a flexible, clickable grid of pictures from a set tumblr blogs, possibly filtered with tags. Data may be read from a live network or from a local cache. You can get tumblrgrid with:
$ go get github.com/ajstarks/svgo/tumblrgrid
You will need to edit the source to add your own
tumblr API key.
The command options are:
-f=false: read from local files
-g=5: gutter (pixels)
-n=30: picture limit
-nc=5: number of columns
-p=false: link to original post
-tag="": filter tag
-tw=75: thumbnail width
An interesting use of tumblrgrid is to view pictures from related tumblrs. For example, this list:
f0o0od.tumblr.com
ign0ranceisbliiiss.tumblr.com
agilaagira.tumblr.com
geek-art.tumblr.com
represents a chain of tumblrs that refer to each other. After collecting them in a file called
tlist,
this command line:
$ tumblrgrid -nc 4 -n 20 `cat tlist`
produces:
Changing the command line to
$ tumblrgrid -nc 2 -n 20 `cat tlist`
reduced the number of columns to 2 which causes the labels to be rotated.
