## 🚀 Installation

### From PyPI (Recommended)

```bash
pip install progressive-blur
```

### From Source

```bash
git clone https://github.com/almmaasoglu/python-progressive-blur.git
cd python-progressive-blur
pip install -e .
```

### Development Installation

```bash
git clone https://github.com/almmaasoglu/python-progressive-blur.git
cd python-progressive-blur
pip install -e ".[dev]"
```

## 📖 Quick Start

### Basic Usage

```python
from PIL import Image
from progressive_blur import apply_progressive_blur

# Load your image
image = Image.open("your_image.jpg")

# Apply default progressive blur
blurred = apply_progressive_blur(image)
blurred.save("blurred_image.jpg")
```

### Advanced Usage

```python
from progressive_blur import (
    apply_progressive_blur,
    BlurDirection,
    BlurAlgorithm,
    EasingFunction
)

# Custom blur with advanced options
result = apply_progressive_blur(
    image,
    max_blur=60.0,                    # Maximum blur intensity
    clear_until=0.2,                  # Keep top 20% clear
    blur_start=0.3,                   # Start blur at 30%
    end_position=0.9,                 # Reach max blur at 90%
    direction=BlurDirection.LEFT_TO_RIGHT,
    algorithm=BlurAlgorithm.GAUSSIAN,
    easing=EasingFunction.EASE_IN_OUT,
    preserve_alpha=True
)
```

### Using Presets

```python
from progressive_blur import apply_preset, BLUR_PRESETS

# Apply a predefined preset
dramatic_blur = apply_preset(image, "dramatic")
subtle_blur = apply_preset(image, "subtle")
center_focus = apply_preset(image, "center_focus")

# List available presets
print("Available presets:", list(BLUR_PRESETS.keys()))
```

### Batch Processing

```python
from progressive_blur import batch_process_images

# Process all images in a directory
processed_files = batch_process_images(
    input_dir="./input_images",
    output_dir="./output_images",
    preset="dramatic",
    recursive=True,
    overwrite=False
)

print(f"Processed {len(processed_files)} images")
```

### Custom Blur Masks

```python
from progressive_blur import create_custom_blur_mask, apply_mask_based_blur
import numpy as np

# Create a custom circular blur mask
def circular_mask(x: int, y: int) -> float:
    center_x, center_y = 250, 250  # Image center
    distance = np.sqrt((x - center_x)**2 + (y - center_y)**2)
    max_distance = 200
    return min(1.0, distance / max_distance)

# Apply custom mask
mask = create_custom_blur_mask(500, 500, circular_mask)
result = apply_mask_based_blur(image, mask, max_blur=40.0)
```

## 🖥️ Command Line Interface

The library includes a powerful CLI tool for quick image processing:

### Basic Commands

```bash
# Apply default blur to a single image
progressive-blur input.jpg output.jpg

# Use a preset
progressive-blur input.jpg output.jpg --preset dramatic

# Custom parameters
progressive-blur input.jpg output.jpg --max-blur 30 --direction left_to_right --easing ease_in_out

# Batch process a directory
progressive-blur --batch input_dir/ output_dir/ --preset subtle --recursive

# Get image information
progressive-blur --info image.jpg

# List available presets
progressive-blur --list-presets
```

### Advanced CLI Options

```bash
# Full customization
progressive-blur input.jpg output.jpg \
  --max-blur 45 \
  --clear-until 0.1 \
  --blur-start 0.2 \
  --end-position 0.8 \
  --direction center_to_edges \
  --algorithm gaussian \
  --easing exponential \
  --quality 95
```

```python
import numpy as np

def diagonal_gradient(x: int, y: int) -> float:
    """Create a diagonal blur gradient."""
    width, height = 1000, 800  # Your image dimensions
    diagonal_progress = (x / width + y / height) / 2
    return min(1.0, diagonal_progress)

mask = create_custom_blur_mask(1000, 800, diagonal_gradient)
result = apply_mask_based_blur(image, mask, max_blur=50.0)
```

# Install development dependencies
pip install -e ".[dev]"

# Run tests
pytest

# Run tests with coverage
pytest --cov=progressive_blur --cov-report=html
```

## 📊 Performance

The library is optimized for performance:

- **Vectorized operations** using NumPy for fast mask generation
- **Efficient memory usage** with in-place operations where possible
- **Batch processing** capabilities for handling multiple images
- **Multiple algorithms** to choose speed vs. quality trade-offs
