This script generates @ocram's picons from the source images that are available at https://github.com/ocram/picons. The resulting picons are as close to the originals as possible.
Because I wanted to produce the final versions of some of the TV channel logos I was developing before pushing the changes to @ocram. The script he uses to produce his original picons is not available so I wrote my own.
On Debian/Ubuntu based operating systems these can be installed by installing the packages
python-pgmagick python-progressbar
generatepicons home page is at
http://solitudo.net/software/misc/generatepicons/ and it can be downloaded
by cloning the public Git repository at git://scm.solitudo.net/generatepicons.git.
Gitweb interface is available at
http://scm.solitudo.net/gitweb/public/generatepicons.git.
Also available at Github: https://github.com/tjormola/generatepicons
Just install the dependencies, clone the Git repo and put generatepicons.py
anywhere you want (or run directly from the cloned working directory).
Run
/path/to/generatepicons.py --help
for full command line help.
Typical use case to generate all the picons and symlinks for them would be
git clone git://github.com/ocram/picons.git
cd picons
/path/to/generatepicons.py
for dir in ocram-picons/*; do sh picons.sh $dir; done
and under ocram-picons you would find subdirectories that
contain the ready stuff.
During the execution of the script you might see a lot of lines like this in the terminal:
gx=0.321210, gy=0.597870, bx=0.155890, by=0.066040
wx=0.345750, wy=0.358550, rx=0.648500, ry=0.330880
gx=0.321210, gy=0.597870, bx=0.155890, by=0.066040
wx=0.345760, wy=0.358580, rx=0.648450, ry=0.330860
This is caused by warning printf's in an older versions of
libpng. It's harmless though annoying.

Thanks to @ocram for initiating his TV channel logo project and sharing some info how his script works so I was able to replicate the results of the original as closely as possible.
Also thanks to @tkurbad for his piconlinks.py. Some of the bulk code (args parsing, main function) was shamelessly stolen from his script. This is my first public Python script, after all :)
