Infographics - Arka

Compose infographic-style images locally with Pillow. Arka picks the layout from how many items you provide — no AI tokens, exact typography.

Layout auto-selection

Items	Layout
1–2	Horizontal row
3	Three-column row
4	2×2 grid
5–6	Multi-column grid
7–9	3×3 grid
10+	Radial hub (mind-map)

Override with --layout radial (or grid4, row3, etc.) when you want a fixed template.

Quick start

# 4 items → 2×2 grid
arka infographic --title "Types of Headaches" \
  --item Tension --item Migraine --item Cluster --item Sinus

# 10+ items → radial mind-map
arka infographic create --title "GitHub Repos" \
  --item frontend --item backend --item infra --item docs \
  --item mobile --item cli --item docs-site --item playground \
  --item design-system --item analytics --item infra-tools

# Styles: clean (default), doodle, dark, meme
arka infographic --title "Daily habits" --style doodle \
  --items "Walk, Read, Code, Sleep"
