Identicon

An Elixir library for generating GitHub-like symmetrical 5x5 identicons.

Usage

Just pass a string or char_list to Identicon.render/1. You will get back a Base64 encoded string representing your identicon image.

image = Identicon.render "Elixir"
# => a1070f60bb1e600..."

You can just keep using this in memory or write to file and decode into an image:

image = Identicon.render "Elixir"
:ok = File.write("Elixir.txt", image)
$ cat Elixir.txt | base64 -D -o elixir.png

Todo

  • Support various size/pixel count/background color identicons
  • Make the identicons symmetric like GitHub's (so cool!)
