Can we get a functional sample?

[breedx2]

Hi. I love this port and am really wanting to use it in a project. I've looked through the source and the source for rainbowbot but can't seem to get a working sample going. Do you think you can hack one together? Rainbowbot doesn't actually seem to use your thief port, but rather a copy quantize...which is unfortunate.

The problem I'm encountering is

TypeError: Image or Canvas expected

from thief/index.js:40

I've tried passing it both a Canvas instance and an instance of Canvas.Image to no avail.

For what it's worth, I think the problem I'm encountering is caused by this issue in canvas: Automattic/node-canvas#487

Any luck getting this to work? Some sort of example would be really usefull...

Sorry I haven't gotten around to this. The project works but it's unmaintained and I'm too busy at the moment. You may want to give this other thing a try: https://www.npmjs.com/package/get-rgba-palette

cc @mattdesl who probably knows about other alternatives...

The quantize module is really all you need to get a basic color palette. If you have RGBA pixels (like those from Canvas getImageData) you can use get-rgba-palette as zeke mentioned. Neither of those have any hard dependencies on Node or the browser.
