The shape command lets you generate high quality images based on a beautiful shape.

You can choose from the following shapes: hexagon, square, diamond, triangle, and isometric.

The example below uses hexagons to create the wallpaper, with a white outline around each hexagon.

$ wallgen shape 700 -t hex -o "#ffffff"

Let’s add the swirl effect, increase the number of hexagons, and tweak the outline color.

$ wallgen shape 700 -sw -t hex -o "#00ddff" -p 7

For the final example, I’ll force specific colors to be used.

$ wallgen shape 700 -t isometric -o "#00eeff" -c "#ff0099" -c "#00ddff" -o "#2c2c2c" -p 5
