The boards folder uses ~142.8 MB, being the largest in the repository.
This is due mostly to board images, which are in most cases not
optimized for web content. This patch tries to address this problem by
converting all pictures to JPEG (quality 75) and by adjusting its size
up to 750 px (the width of the documentation content). Images that
specified a fixed width in rst files are converted down to that value
instead.
With this patch, folder goes down to ~53.5 MB from 142.8 MB (-~63%).
Note that this patch introduces a new set of binary files to git
history, though (bad).
The process has been automated using this quickly crafted Python script:
```python
from pathlib import Path
import re
import subprocess
def process(doc, image, image_jpeg, size):
subprocess.run(
(
f"convert {image}"
"-background white -alpha remove -alpha off -quality 75"
f"-resize {size}\> {image_jpeg}"
),
shell=True,
check=True,
cwd=doc.parent,
)
if image != image_jpeg:
(doc.parent / image).unlink()
for doc in Path(".").glob("boards/**/*.rst"):
with open(doc) as f:
content = ""
image = None
for line in f:
m = re.match(r"^(\s*)\.\. (image|figure):: (.*)$", line)
if m:
if image:
process(doc, image, image_jpeg, size)
image = Path(m.group(3))
if image.suffix not in (".jpg", ".jpeg", ".png"):
content += line
image = None
continue
image_jpeg = image.parent / (image.stem + ".jpg")
size = 750
content += (
f"{m.group(1)}.. {m.group(2)}:: {image_jpeg}\n"
)
elif image:
m = re.match(r"\s*:height:\s*[0-9]+.*$", line)
if m:
continue
m = re.match(r"\s*:width:\s*([0-9]+).*$", line)
if m:
size = min(int(m.group(1)), size)
continue
content += line
if line == "\n":
process(doc, image, image_jpeg, size)
image = None
else:
content += line
with open(doc, "w") as f:
f.write(content)
```
