RMagick VS Victor

require 'rmagick' include Magick module LambdaFunction class Handler def self.process(event:, context:) image_url = event['image_url'] my_image = ImageList.new(image_url) # TODO: Use rmagick to make your image transformations # Docs: https://rmagick.github.io { "success": true } end end end

mini_magick is much slower than YOLO. I hear that rmagick is well maintained these days, so you may want to use that.

To accomplish this project, I knew I would need some way to process the input images. Resizing the images was the easy bit. The more complex (and more important) task was to find the best way to relate a pixel's color in the source image to a dot's size in final animation. I felt that the relative luminance as described in this W3 accessibility document was a logical property to use in this case, and can be easily calculated with a color's RGB components. After determining what tasks I needed to fulfill, I determined that the RMagick library would be a good choice for this project.

i'm super confused by "which gems you can't live without". is this my personal debugging collection of pry-rails, bullet and other things? i mean, whatever is required and does the job i guess. i absolutely love Dentaku gem and build awesome stuff with it in 2 different companies where it absolutely contributed to their product in huge ways (https://github.com/rubysolo/dentaku) . i also love Victor (https://github.com/DannyBen/victor) where i draw epic custom charts which are used in reports that been generated for billion dollar real estate funds.

That's not close to the same complexity, is it?

With the HTML + CSS solution, all my program has to produce is a HTML table. Very easy.

With SVG my program has to create not just a data table, but the custom SVG code to paint the actual charts. I'm actually doing that on pc-kombo, https://www.pc-kombo.com/us/benchmark/games/cpu/compare?ids%... shows it, the image is SVG. But it's created with https://github.com/DannyBen/victor/, so my ruby code has to describe all the details of that image, including manually saying how each bar chart should look. Even with the awesome victor library that wasn't all that easy.

Alternative is a JS library that produces the SVG code, but then it's exactly as complicated as with regular JS libraries, it just changes the output.
