# rustitch

[![docs.rs](https://img.shields.io/docsrs/rustitch)](https://docs.rs/rustitch)
[![License: MIT](https://img.shields.io/badge/license-MIT-blue.svg)](../LICENSE)
A Rust library for parsing **PES embroidery files** and rendering stitch data to images.
Part of the [stitch-peek-rs](https://git.narl.io/nvrl/stitch-peek-rs) project.
## Usage
Add `rustitch` to your `Cargo.toml`:
```toml
[dependencies]
rustitch = "0.1"
```
### Generate a thumbnail
```rust
let pes_data = std::fs::read("design.pes")?;
let png_bytes = rustitch::thumbnail(&pes_data, 256)?;
std::fs::write("preview.png", &png_bytes)?;
```
### Parse and inspect a design
```rust
use rustitch::pes::{self, StitchCommand};
let data = std::fs::read("design.pes")?;
let design = pes::parse(&data)?;
println!("PES version: {}", std::str::from_utf8(&design.header.version).unwrap());
println!("Label: {}", design.pec_header.label);
println!("Colors: {}", design.pec_header.color_count);
let stitch_count = design.commands.iter()
.filter(|c| matches!(c, StitchCommand::Stitch { .. }))
.count();
println!("Stitches: {stitch_count}");
```
### Resolve and render manually
```rust
use rustitch::pes;
let data = std::fs::read("design.pes")?;
let design = pes::parse(&data)?;
let resolved = pes::resolve(&design)?;
println!("Segments: {}", resolved.segments.len());
println!("Bounding box: ({}, {}) to ({}, {})",
resolved.bounds.min_x, resolved.bounds.min_y,
resolved.bounds.max_x, resolved.bounds.max_y);
let png_bytes = rustitch::render_thumbnail(&resolved, 512)?;
std::fs::write("large_preview.png", &png_bytes)?;
```
## Supported formats
**PES** (Brother PE-Design) embroidery files, versions 1 through 10. The PEC section containing stitch data is consistent across versions.
## How it works
1. **Parse** the PES binary header to locate the PEC section
2. **Decode** the PEC stitch byte stream (7-bit and 12-bit encoded relative movements, jumps, trims, color changes)
3. **Resolve** relative movements into absolute coordinate segments grouped by thread color, using the 65-color Brother PEC palette
4. **Render** anti-aliased line segments with [tiny-skia](https://github.com/nickel-org/tiny-skia), scaled to fit the requested size
5. **Encode** as PNG with proper alpha handling

# stitch-peek
[![crates.io](https://img.shields.io/crates/v/stitch-peek)](https://crates.io/crates/stitch-peek)
[![License: MIT](https://img.shields.io/badge/license-MIT-blue.svg)](../LICENSE)
A CLI tool and **Nautilus/GNOME thumbnailer** for PES embroidery files. Generates PNG previews of embroidery designs directly in your file manager.
Part of the [stitch-peek-rs](https://git.narl.io/nvrl/stitch-peek-rs) project. Uses [rustitch](https://crates.io/crates/rustitch) for PES parsing and rendering.
## Installation
### From .deb (Debian/Ubuntu)
Download the latest `.deb` from the [Releases](https://git.narl.io/nvrl/stitch-peek-rs/releases) page:
```sh
sudo dpkg -i stitch-peek_*_amd64.deb
```
### From crates.io
```sh
cargo install stitch-peek
```
Then install the thumbnailer and MIME type files manually:
```sh
sudo install -Dm644 data/stitch-peek.thumbnailer /usr/share/thumbnailers/stitch-peek.thumbnailer
sudo install -Dm644 data/pes.xml /usr/share/mime/packages/pes.xml
sudo update-mime-database /usr/share/mime
```
### From source
```sh
git clone https://git.narl.io/nvrl/stitch-peek-rs.git
cd stitch-peek-rs
cargo install --path stitch-peek
```
After installing, restart Nautilus to pick up the thumbnailer:
```sh
nautilus -q
```
## Usage
### As a thumbnailer
Once installed with the `.thumbnailer` file in place, Nautilus automatically generates thumbnails for `.pes` files. No manual action needed.
### Standalone CLI
```sh
stitch-peek -i design.pes -o preview.png -s 256
```
| Flag | Description | Default |
|------|-------------|---------|
| `-i` | Input PES file | required |
| `-o` | Output PNG path | required |
| `-s` | Thumbnail size (pixels) | 128 |
## How it works
The tool follows the [freedesktop thumbnail specification](https://specifications.freedesktop.org/thumbnail/latest/). Nautilus calls it with an input file, output path, and requested size. It parses the PES file, renders the stitch pattern as anti-aliased colored lines on a transparent background, and writes a PNG.
