ArtCards Telegram channel
For filling ArtCards with content, I am gradually mastering AI generation of pictures using neural networks.
I created a telegram channel for this matter, in which I add notes about my generations: https://t.me/ArtCards_Interplanety
I used ComfyUI as the shell, which seems to be the most advanced and versatile tool.
Those who understand neural networks are unlikely to find anything interesting in it, but for those who are just starting to get into the generation of images with neural networks, my notes may be useful.
ArtCards – removing margins using the stretch option
When using images with a transparent background, there are usually no problems with visible margins when configuring the card. However, if you use images with backgrounds and the aspect ratio of the image does not match the aspect ratio of the element in the template, unwanted margins may appear. In this case, you can use the “stretch” function to scale the image relative to the template element so that the margins do not appear.

Checking if list A is in list B
To chek if list A is completely included in list B – all elements of list A are present in list B, we can use the “superset” and “subset” methods of the standard Python “set” class.
Converting lists to sets also allows us not to worry about checking for duplicates if they exist in the compared lists.
subset
The “subset” method acts on a smaller set and checks if it is in a larger set.

A = ['a', 'x', 'z'] A1 = ['a', 'x', 'z', 99] B = list('abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz') # ['a', 'b', ..., 'z'] print(set(A).issubset(set(B))) # True print(set(A1).issubset(set(B))) # False |

Python: how to zip a text string
In order to reduce the size of a long text string, for example, to minimize traffic when sending some text data over the Internet, it can be compressed before sending and unzipped after receiving. The size of transmitted data is significantly reduced in comparison with sending text strings in their original format.
To zip a text string in memory, we can use the “zlib” module.
Let’s use the “compress” function to compress the string. This function takes a byte string as an input parameter and returns the compressed byte string.

import zlib long_text = 'Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat. Duis aute irure dolor in reprehenderit in voluptate velit esse cillum dolore eu fugiat nulla pariatur. Excepteur sint occaecat cupidatat non proident, sunt in culpa qui officia deserunt mollit anim id est laborum.' print('long_text', len(long_text)) long_text_compressed = zlib.compress(long_text.encode('utf-8')) print('long_text_compressed', len(long_text_compressed)) # long_text 445 # long_text_compressed 270 |
As we can see with this simplest example, the line size has been reduced by more than one and a half times.
