Create image stack from URLs in a CSV file 📦

jwyg commented 4 years ago

Current behaviour

At the moment images are provided by URLs in the function preload() section of the sketch.js file. See here for an example.

Desired behaviour

Ideally users could provide a set of image URLs in the browser, for example by:

giving input to a text box like many of the web-based tools from the Digital Methods Initiative and Bernhard Rieder, médialab at Sciences Po, Density Design and others (see below for screenshots);
uploading a CSV file with image URLs formatted in a particular way (with a template example and guidance).

This could also mean that the same set of URLs (and subsets thereof) could be transformed in different ways using different functions, possibly by converting what are currently separate scripts into a single library, and having different phases or different areas of the screen for configuring and previewing the outputs (as mentioned in issue #9).
