💖 labelme(1) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the labelme manual page — it's a User Command, it lives in section 1, and it's literally the polygonal annotation tool written in Python 🐍✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

labelme — Image Polygonal Annotation with Python 🎀

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so here's the whole vibe, the way you actually call it:

usage: labelme [-h] [--version] [--reset-config]
       [--logger-level {debug,info,warning,fatal,error}] [--output
       OUTPUT] [--config CONFIG_FILE] [--nodata] [--autosave]
       [--nosortlabels] [--flags FLAGS] [--labelflags LABEL_FLAGS]
       [--labels LABELS] [--validatelabel {exact,instance}]
       [--keep-prev] [--epsilon EPSILON] [filename]

that's it, that's the summoning spell 🔮 no cap.

🎀 positional arguments:

• filename — an image filename or a label filename, your choice bestie 🖼️

✨ optional arguments:

• -h, --help — shows this help message and then dips out. iconic behaviour honestly 👑
• --version, -V — shows the version, short and sweet 💅
• --reset-config — resets the qt config. fresh start energy 🧼
• --logger-level {debug,info,warning,fatal,error} — sets the logger level. pick your gossip tier 📢
• --output OUTPUT, -O OUTPUT, -o OUTPUT — output file or directory. and here's the lil rule: if it ends with .json it's recognized as a file, otherwise it's recognized as a directory 🗂️
• --config CONFIG_FILE — config file (default: /root/.labelmerc) ⚙️
• --nodata — stop storing image data to the JSON file. it's giving minimalism 🍃
• --autosave — auto save 🫶
• --nosortlabels — stop sorting labels. let them be free 🦋
• --flags FLAGS — a comma separated list of flags OR a file containing flags 🚩
• --labelflags LABEL_FLAGS — a yaml string of label specific flags OR a file containing a json string of label specific flags. the example they gave is literally {person-\d+: [male, tall], dog-\d+: [black, brown, white], .*: [occluded]} — regex labels, we love to see it 😌
• --labels LABELS — a comma separated list of labels OR a file containing labels 🏷️
• --validatelabel {exact,instance} — label validation types, exact or instance 🔍
• --keep-prev — keep the annotation of the previous frame. muscle memory for your hands fr fr 🔁
• --epsilon EPSILON — the epsilon used to find the nearest vertex on the canvas 📐

lowkey reminder bestie: --config defaults to /root/.labelmerc, and --output/-O/-o only treats your path as a file if it ends in .json — everything else is a directory. no surprises, just facts 💖

and that's the whole page!! this one's from labelme, dated June 2019, and the manual itself is just called labelme — so yeah, short name, big energy, slay 💅✨🌸🫶
