Transform Text into Cryptic Logograms with Python
The Logogram Generator is a Python tool for creating intriguing logograms. It arranges small equilateral triangles on a digital canvas to produce a visual code that conceals the original text within an artistic geometric tapestry.
Input (String): "crypt"
Logogram: logogram.png

I am aware that the logogram is called "Tetra"-logue, which is a combining form meaning “four". But thats part of the joke.
This is also my first time making anything related to cryptography or logograms, so it might not be incredibly advanced
-
Installation: Ensure Python is installed on your system.
-
Clone the Repository:
git clone https://github.com/strumberr/tetralogue-logogram.git cd tetralogue-logogram -
Run the Script:
python logogram_generation_command.py "Your message"Replace
"Your message"with the text you want to transform into a logogram. -
Output: The script generates and immediately displays the logogram, and saves it as an image file in the same directory.
The logogram generation process involves these key steps:
-
Parameter Configuration: Set canvas size, background color (typically white), triangle size, and total triangle count.
-
Triangle Grid Formation: Place equilateral triangles to create a centered grid for visual balance.
-
Mapping Characters to Triangles: Each character maps to geometric attributes, determining position in the alphabet, color (black or white), and group (1 to 13).
-
Dynamic Triangle Generation: The script adapts the number of triangles to the input message's length. This process visually encodes the original text through an expanding pattern of triangles.
-
Expanding Sections: Thirteen sections radiate outward from the canvas center, evolving as characters are processed.
