Buttonize, your favourite button generator.

Buttonize is a little tool to generate sets of buttons by creating simple image templates (a left side, a repeatable middle and a right side). You can use buttonize to create sets of buttons and sets of button styles. See the examples directory for more information (examples/buttons.rb is a buttonset file and examples/default/styles.rb is a styleset file).

Installing

Buttonize has the following dependencies:

• Ruby 1.8.x (not tested in 1.9.x)

• Rubygems

• RMagick

• Thor (for the commandline tool)

If all is well you can just install the gem by running:

sudo gem install flurin-buttonize –source=gems.github.com

Quickstart

For the impatient who just want to generate a blue button (and have all required stuff installed)
