# Infographics

> Adaptive listicle and mind-map PNGs — layout follows item count, local Pillow only.

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

```bash theme={null}
# 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"

# List layouts and styles
arka infographic layouts
arka infographic styles
```

Output defaults to `~/Pictures/arka-generated/` (override with
`IMAGE_OUTPUT_DIR`). Default style: `INFOGRAPHIC_STYLE=clean`.

## Natural language

Phrases like **infographic about …**, **listicle**, or **mind map** route
offline before chat:

```bash theme={null}
arka 'infographic about "Types of Headaches" items: tension, migraine, cluster, sinus'
arka route 'listicle titled "Startup stack" with items: Postgres, Redis, Kafka'
```

## CLI aliases

* `arka infographic …`
* `arka infographic-maker …`
* `arka listicle …`

Each cell uses a simple glyph icon and wrapped label text. For photo-based
memes with stock images, see [Meme templates](/guides/meme-templates).
