v3.2.0 — Ideogram Layout editor + agent API

Choose a tag to compare

@mrbizarro mrbizarro released this 12 Jun 19:51

The Ideogram 4 integration grows from a placement widget into a real design tool — and gets an API built for AI agents.

The Layout canvas, rebuilt

Pick Ideogram 4Layout and the right side of the panel becomes an artboard:

  • Type directly on the frame — click a box and type, or paste. Double-click any box to edit it.
  • Floating toolbar on the selected box — color swatches, alignment, text style (headline / subhead / body / caps / script / serif), delete. No more round-trips to a side panel.
  • Object regions describe what the model should draw in a rectangle, typed inline the same way.
  • Stage toolbar on the canvas: + Text, + Object, Snap, Undo, Examples, and an Edit canvas / Result toggle. Generate flips to Result automatically so you watch the render land.
  • The canvas is scoped to the Images tab — switching to Video / Audio / Train suspends it cleanly and coming back restores your boxes exactly.

Agent API — compose images with one JSON POST

POST /image/agent takes a plain spec — scene text plus boxes as fractions of the frame — builds the strict caption Ideogram was trained on, and renders:

{"scene": "A retro synthwave concert poster background ...",
 "aspect": "16:9", "quality": "turbo",
 "boxes": [{"type": "text", "text": "PHOSPHENE", "x": 0.1, "y": 0.1, "w": 0.8, "h": 0.24,
            "style": "headline", "align": "center", "color": "#FFFFFF"}]}

GET /image/agent/schema is self-documenting (an agent can read that one URL and start composing), validate_only previews the caption without GPU time, and jobs queue behind UI renders instead of failing when busy. Docs: docs/AGENT_API.md.

Fixed

  • Switching engines no longer overwrites Ideogram's prompt placeholder.
  • Output-card auto-select can no longer yank you out of mid-edit; only a real click (or Generate) flips the stage to Result.

Ideogram 4 setup is unchanged (one-time HF Read token + license acceptance, ~27 GB download, free for personal/research use). Update via Pinokio.
