clock project

This project programmatically renders an analog clock into an RGB image canvas and updates the hands in real time. It demonstrates drawing primitives, coordinate transforms, anti‑aliasing, and date/time formatting.


Highlights

  • Draws second, minute, and hour hands with tick marks and center pin.
  • Uses trigonometric transforms to position hands precisely by time.
  • Exports individual frames or animates a live preview window.

Getting started

  1. Clone the repository and install dependencies.
  2. Run the script to open a live clock window or save frames to disk.
python clock.py

Why it’s useful

  • Teaches fundamentals of image rendering and layout in OpenCV.
  • Serves as a starter for overlaying dynamic UI on camera frames.
