        # searchstims
        
        Python package to make stimuli like those used in classic visual search experiments  
        https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_search  
        ... but with the exact size to feed them to your favorite neural network.

        ## Installation
        `pip install searchstims`
        
        If you want to download and install locally into an environment with Anaconda:
        `/home/you/Documents $ conda create -n searchstims-env python=3.6 numpy pygame`  
        `/home/you/Documents $ source activate searchstims-env`  
        `(searchstims-env) /home/you/Documents $ git clone`  
        `(searchstim) /home/you/Documents $ cd searchstims`  
        `(searchstim) /home/you/Documents/searchstims $ pip install -e .`  
        
        ## Usage
        The `searchstims` package installs itself so that you can run it from the
        command line. You will use a config.ini file to specify the visual search stimuli 
        you want the package to generate.  
        
        `/home/you/Documents $ searchstims config.ini`  
        
        Running the example script will create a folder `~/output` with visual search stimuli. 
        For more detail on the structure of `config.ini` files used with this package, see 
        [./doc/config.md](./doc/config/md).
        
        ## `.json` output file
        In addition to saving visual search stimuli in the output folder, `searchstims` 
        saves information about stimuli in a `.json` output file.  This `.json` file is 
        provided to make it easier to work with the visual search image files, 
        and analyze results obtained with them. For more detail, see [./doc/json.md](./doc/json.md)
