Basic class to make svg halftones from a png. Utilizes chunky_png. This can be seen in action at https://xylotones.com.

The algorithm breaks the image into square blocks, based off of a user parameter, analyzes the pixels in that block, determining the average color for the block, and assigns a gray value to it. The block's x-coordinate, y-coordinate, and gray value are returned. There is a simple method that then writes an svg file from that, using the gray value to determine the circle's radius.

#to-do

• interface with image, using chunky_png
• break down image into square "chunks" based on a parameter
• process each chunk, find a corresponding gray and return chunk coordinates and gray value
• CONVERT to a module
• provide options for output format
• optimize algorithm
• add offset for every other row
