Welcome to the world of expressive text-to-image generation! In this guide, we’ll explore how to use rich text formatting to enhance your image generation capabilities using the Rich Text to Image project. Buckle up for a creative journey where you can control color, font, style, and even footnotes in your prompts!

Understanding the Concepts

Imagine you’re a painter ready to create a masterpiece. Instead of using basic colors, you have a variety of colors, brushes, and styles to choose from. This project allows you to take the same approach with text-to-image generation, where your “canvas” is a text prompt enriched with formatting options.

• Font Size: Think of it as choosing the size of your brush strokes. Larger tokens have a bigger impact on the final image.
• Font Color: It’s akin to selecting your palette. Specific colors define parts of the generated image, enhancing fidelity to your vision.
• Font Style: Like selecting an artistic style, font styles dictate how certain areas of your image will look, such as watercolor vs. oil painting.
• Footnotes: They serve as an additional voice in your painting, explaining or adding context to your visual story.

Setting Up Your Project

Follow these steps to set up the rich text-to-image generation environment:

• Ensure you have Python 3.8 and Pytorch 1.11 installed.
• Clone the repository using the command:

git clone https://github.com/SongweiGe/rich-text-to-image.git

• Navigate to the project folder:

cd rich-text-to-image

• Create your conda environment:

conda env create -f environment.yaml

• Install additional packages:

pip install git+https://github.com/openai/CLIP.git

• Activate your environment:

conda activate rich-text

Generating Images

Once your setup is complete, it’s time to bring those rich texts to life. Here’s how to use the JSON formatted rich-text input:

• First, encode your rich text into JSON format. You can automate this using the rich-text-to-json tool.
• Run the local gradio demo:

python gradio_app.py

• Or through the command line:

python sample.py --rich_text_json your rich-text json here

Example Usage Scenarios

Let’s discuss how different attributes influence your generated images:

Font Color Example

This script creates an enchanting Gothic church with a specific color:

python sample.py --rich_text_json ops:[insert:a Gothic ,attributes:color:#fd6c9e,insert:church,insert: in a sunset with a beautiful landscape in the background.n] --num_segments 10 --seed 7 --run_dir resultscolor_example_xl --model SDXL

Footnote Usage

With footnotes, add supplementary context to your images:

python sample.py --rich_text_json ops:[insert:A close-up 4k dslr photo of a ,attributes:link:A cat wearing sunglasses and a bandana around its neck.,insert:cat,insert: riding a scooter. Palm trees in the background.n] --seed 3 --run_dir resultsfootnote_example_xl --model SDXL

Troubleshooting Tips

Should you encounter any issues, consider the following troubleshooting ideas:

• Make sure all dependencies are correctly installed and compatible with the current version of Python.
• If you encounter errors related to JSON formatting, double-check your input syntax.
