+# wp
+
+wp is a small tool I use to generate color schemes from images, and manage desktop wallpapers.
+
+The color extraction scripts were taken from [this blog post](http://charlesleifer.com/blog/using-python-and-k-means-to-find-the-dominant-colors-in-images/)
+ with normalization reddit user radiosilence.
+
+## Dependencies
+
+As far as I know this only relies on PIL, python image library. I was able to fulfill this dependency with the `python-pillow` package on Arch Linux.
+On other systems, `pip install Pillow`.
+
+## Usage
+
+```
+$ wp add [file]
+```
+
+Generates color files .[file].colors and .[file].Xres which can be sourced by shell
+scripts and xrdb respectivly. The color files and the image are added to the backgrounds directory.
+
+```
+$ wp change [file]
+```
+
+Changes the background image to a random image from the ~/.wallpapers directory, or the file passed, and  loads the .Xres file
+into xrdb so xterm or urxvt will use the colors. It also links a script to ~/.colors. If you `source ~/.colors` in a script 
+you can use the generated colors with `$COLOR0`, `$COLOR1`, ...
+
+
+```
+$ wp rm [file]
+```
+
+Removes the image and it's color files from the backgrounds directory.
+
+```
+$ wp ls
+```
+
+Lists the images in the backgrounds folder.
