### Swatchos
|
|
|
|
This project came about from the need of open source palettes for the colour swatch cards available from [Basallt](https://basallt.com/products/swatchos). The only palette available for download is in Adobe CC (ASE) format, which there are projects that aim to convert this. Each not up to date and not easily used. So I took the the table of swatches and produced the CSV, then created this to generate the different palettes for the different software that I use.
|
|
|
|
This will be able to be used with any CSV that follows the example
|
|
|
|
## Usage & Requirements
|
|
|
|
Currently this should run on any version of python 3 or above
|
|
|
|
python main.py "file_format" "input_csv" "output_file"
|
|
|
|
Where "file_format" could be:
|
|
- gpl : GIMP RGB Palette
|
|
- scribus : Scribus CMYK XML Palette
|
|
|
|
Where "input_csv" would be your input csv as in swatchos.csv
|
|
|
|
Where "output_file" is the name of your palette, the required extension is added automatically
|
|
|
|
