## Meme Generator Project
## Meme Generator
### Overview
The goal of this project is to build a "meme generator" a multimedia application to dynamically generate memes, including an image with an overlaid quote.
A Python application that combines an image with a quote to create a meme. It supports random or custom memes through a command-line interface and a small Flask web app.
### Features
### Set up environment
```sh
$ sudo apt-get install -y xpdf
$ pip install -r requirements.txt
- Import quotes from CSV, DOCX, PDF, and TXT files.
- Resize images and overlay a quote and author.
- Generate memes from bundled assets or user input.
- Use either the command line or a browser interface.
### Requirements
- Python 3
- Python packages in [`requirements.txt`](requirements.txt)
- Poppler's `pdftotext` command on `PATH` for PDF quote ingestion
### Setup
Run these commands from this project directory:
```bash
sudo apt-get install -y xpdf
sudo apt install python3-venv
python3 -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
python3 -m pip install -r requirements.txt
```
### Run program
### Command Line
Generate a meme from a random bundled image and quote:
Python test \
Usage: `python3 meme.py --path [image_path] --body [quote_body] --author [quote_author]`
```sh
$ mkdir tmp
$ python3 meme.py
```bash
mkdir -p tmp
python3 meme.py
python3 meme.py \
--path ./_data/photos/dog/xander_1.jpg \
--body "Stay pawsitive." \
--author "Unknown"
```
Flask test
```sh
$ mkdir static
$ python3 app.py
### Web App
```bash
mkdir -p static
python3 app.py
```
Open link `http://127.0.0.1:5000` in web browser
### Primary modules
Open [http://127.0.0.1:5000](http://127.0.0.1:5000) for a random meme or use the `/create` page to submit an image URL and quote. Generated web images are saved in `static/`.
`QuoteEngine`: Meme engine module for handling the generation of meme images.\
`MemeEngine`: QuoteModel module for representing a quote with its body and author.

### Sub modules

`CSVIngestor`: Module for ingesting CSV files containing quotes. \
`DocxIngestor`: Module for ingesting Docx files containing quotes. \
`TextIngestor`: Module for ingesting text files containing quotes. \
`PDFIngestor`: Module for ingesting PDF files containing quotes.
### Project Structure
- [`meme.py`](meme.py) — Command-line entry point for generating random or custom memes.
- [`app.py`](app.py) — Flask web application for creating memes in a browser.
- [`MemeEngine/`](MemeEngine/) — Resizes images, positions quote text, and saves generated memes.
- [`QuoteEngine/`](QuoteEngine/) — Represents quotes and imports them from supported file formats.
- `QuoteModel` — Stores a quote's body and author.
- `Ingestor` — Selects the appropriate file-format parser.
- `CSVIngestor` — Imports quotes from CSV files.
- `DocxIngestor` — Imports quotes from DOCX files.
- `PDFIngestor` — Imports quotes from PDF files.
- `TextIngestor` — Imports quotes from TXT files.
- [`templates/`](templates/) — HTML templates used by the Flask application.
- [`_data/`](_data/) — Sample images, quotes, and font assets.
### Format checking
```sh
```bash
$ pip install docformatter
$ pip install autopep8
$ pip install black
$ pip install flake8
$ docformatter -i -r --wrap-summaries 79 --wrap-descriptions 79 .
$ autopep8 --in-place --recursive --aggressive .
$ black .
