Common QR-Code

#1 Words
amzqr https://github.com

• Just input a URL or a sentence, then get your QR-Code named 'qrcode.png' in the current directory.

#2 -v, -l
amzqr https://github.com -v 10 -l Q

• The default size of QR-Code depends both on the numbers of words you input and the level, while the default level (Error Correction Level) is H (the highest).

• Customize: If you want to control the size and the error-correction-level, use the -v and -l arguments.

  -v representing the length is from a minimum of 1 to a maximum of 40.

  -l representing the error correction level is one of L, M, Q and H, where L is the lowest level and H is the highest.

#3 -n, -d
amzqr https://github.com   -n github_qr.jpg   -d .../paths/

• The default output-filename is 'qrcode.png', while the default output-directory is current directory.

• Customize: You can name the output-file and decide the output-directory. Notice that if the name is as same as a existing file, the old one will be deleted.

  -n representing the output-filename could be in the format one of .jpg， .png ，.bmp ，.gif .

  -d means directory.

Artistic QR-Code

#1 -p
amzqr https://github.com -p github.jpg

• The -p is to combine the QR-Code with the following picture which is in the same directory as the program. The resulting picture is black and white by default.

#2 -c
amzqr https://github.com -p github.jpg -c

• The -c is to make the resulting picture colorized.

#3 -con, -bri
amzqr https://github.com -p github.jpg [-c] -con 1.5 -bri 1.6

• The -con flag changes the contrast of the picture - a low number corresponds to low contrast and a high number to high contrast. Default: 1.0.

• The -bri flag changes the brightness and the parameter values work the same as those for -con. Default: 1.0.

Animated GIF QR-Code

The only difference from Artistic QR-Code mentioned above is that you should input an image file in the .gif format. The you can get your black-and-white or colorful qr-code. Remember that when you use -n to customize the output-filename, then the output-filename must end by .gif.

Import Way

from amzqr import amzqr

version, level, qr_name = amzqr.run(
    words,
    version=1,
    level='H',
    picture=None,
    colorized=False,
    contrast=1.0,
    brightness=1.0,
    save_name=None,
    save_dir=os.getcwd()
)

details about each parameter are as mentioned above

# help(amzqr)
Positional parameter
   words: str

Optional parameters
   version: int, from 1 to 40
   level: str, just one of ('L','M','Q','H')
   picutre: str, a filename of a image
   colorized: bool
   constrast: float
   brightness: float
   save_name: str, the output filename like 'example.png'
   save_dir: str, the output directory

Tips

• Use a nearly square picture instead of a rectangle one.

• If the size of the picture is large, you should also choose a rightly large -v instead of using the default one.

• If part of the picture is transparent, the qr code will look like:

  You can change the transparent layer to white, and then it will look like:
