Labelr is an interactive script utility for batch authoring scientific images for upload to databases. The standard utility is modeled off of the Atlas of Florida Plants image standards.

Fig 1. The above images are generated from this script.

Install with Pip!

Download this directory to somewhere sensible and get inside.

git clone https://github.com/Struma/Labelr.git ~/.labelr

cd ~/.labelr

Install with pip3

pip3 install .

Debian/Ubuntu Pip puts the scripts into ~/.local/bin/ on these machines, but by default you cannot access it readily beacuse ~/.local/bin/ is not in PATH.

I set the variable in my ~/.bashrc file via

echo "export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/.local/bin/" >> ~/.bashrc
