Statistical graphics of your photos?

Thursday November 15, 2007 at 10:14PM

Have you ever wondered what F-Stop, ISO, FocalLength and so on you use most?, will now you can generate some nice graphics like the shown below.

gfx_af_points.jpg

gfx_iso.jpg

This is just the initial release so if you find any bugs or just want to help or contribute with some coding you are all welcomed, here's how to get started

 

Documentation: http://exif-graph.rubyforge.org/doc/
Download: http://rubyforge.org/projects/exif-graph/

Note: You can also download my own DS_FILE file (Generated at: 14/11/07) so you can generate some example graphics right out the box. ;-)

I'm trying to use it under Ubuntu Linux. I'm finding some difficulties with dependencies, but I will do it ;-)

What kind of dependencies? from Ruby?

If you get it running let me know so i can update the documentation.

OK. It was a bit long, but I succeeded to start it.
I had ImageMagick and Ruby, but I had to install the Imagemagick developer packages and the full Ruby install.
Then I downloaded RMagick sources from RubyForge and compiled it the usual way (./configure, make, sudo make install).
Then I run 'gem install rmagick-1.15.10.gem'.
I installed the 'exiftool' perl lib.
I run 'gem install mini_exiftool'.
The install of gruff failed from gem. I had to download it from rubyforge.
Wehn I run gem on it, complained about missing hoe.
So: 'gem install hoe', accepting the dependencies.
'gem install gruff-0.2.9.gem'
'ruby exif-graph.rb -o gends': there is an error in the site: exif_graph in place of exif-graph (two times)
'ruby exif-graph.rb -o gfx -g all'
I had all blank images. I modified exif-graph.rb, giving it the absolute path of the images dir and of the font, but at no avail.
I will debug it further to understand what's happening.

@Roberto Ballerini

Have you edited the constants SEARCH_DIRS & SEARCH_EXCLUDES?
After you run "gends" check if there is any data in the DS_FILE = datasource.txt if this file is empty the graphs will not be generated because theres is no data.

Note: Remember that by default "gends" searches for RAW files, check the option -f to change this Behavior.

@Doomshammer
Sorry to here that.

Roberto Ballerini - travelingpro replies:
LOL: I modified the dirs only after running with -gends; restarting

The AF-points set was "" and the program terminated with error when Generating Global AF-Points graph. The first three graphs were OK. The camera is a EOS 350D

MMm.
I have only tested it with the Nikon D200, Coolpix 8700 and Canon 5D cameras but it should work with the rest.
Can you send me a RAW file from your camare so i can test it?

Roberto Ballerini - travelingpro replies:
Let me know by ipermail how do you prefer to have it. In the meantime I will try to debug it myself (my first look at Ruby smile )

For those hating Ruby more than Windows [ ;-)] there is a windows freeware program called "ExposurePlot" with the same purpose as exif-graph:

@Spectacles
Thanks for the info, i will have to try it at work because i don't have any Windows at home.

I Made this with Ruby but any one can make this with Perl or other language, i just wanted it to be OS independent because not every one users Windows or Macs.

Not to be misunderstood: I didn't mean to criticise Linux, Ruby or your script at all.
I just like diversity. :)
