Introduction
While yet to be proven a viable Eggbot art form, our adventures with TSP art need not end with monochrome imagery. By separating a color image into its cyan, magenta, yellow, and key (black) components, and then treating each component as a separate image to generate TSP art for, we can produce a color likeness of the original image by recombining the four pieces of TSP art.
The basic plan of attack is then
- Using an image editor which understands the CMYK color spaces such as Adobe Photoshop, change your image's color model to CMYK.
- Save each color layer in a separate file using a bitmap format understood by Gimp (e.g., TIFF).
- In Gimp, produce stippled images for each color layer as per Producing a stippled image with Gimp.
- Generate TSP art for each stippled color layer using some special command line options for tspart.py.
- Combine the TSP art files for the four layers into a single SVG file.
