# img2ascii
|
||||
CLI that converts images into ascii art and prints them to the console
|
||||
This Command-Line tool converts input images into ASCII art.
|
||||
|
||||
It can be configured using flags on the command line, a few options of which are:
|
||||
* Simple ASCII (using the map ` .:-=+*#%@"`)
|
||||
* Complex ASCII (using the map ``` .'`^",:;Il!i><~+_-?][}{1)(|\/tfjrxnuvczXYUJCLQ0OZmwqpdbkhao*#MW&8%B@$```)
|
||||
* [Braille symbols](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Braille_Patterns)
|
||||
* Custom character maps (through the `--map` flag)
|
||||
|
||||
# Prerequisites
|
||||
* [Rust](https://www.rust-lang.org/) (building from source only)
|
||||
|
||||
# Installation
|
||||
Installing is pretty easy,
|
||||
just grab the appropriate executable from the releases tab,
|
||||
and you're good to go!
|
||||
|
||||
## Building from source
|
||||
```shell
|
||||
git clone https://github.com/djairoh/img2ascii
|
||||
cd ./img-search
|
||||
cargo build --release
|
||||
mv ./target/release/
|
||||
./img2ascii <FILE> [FLAGS]
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
# Running
|
||||
Running the program is very simple.
|
||||
Simply execute `./img2ascii <IMAGE>` and it will convert <IMAGE> to ASCII and print to stdout.
|
||||
|
||||
Of course the output can be customized, by using one (or more) flags.
|
||||
## options
|
||||
* -c, --complex: uses the extended character map
|
||||
* -C, --colour: Display ASCII art in full 24-bit colour
|
||||
* -b, --braille: Use braille characters instead of a character map
|
||||
* -d, --debug: Print debugging information
|
||||
* -f, --full: use the full width of the terminal, instead of fitting the image to the terminal dimensions
|
||||
* --threshold: use a custom threshold when converting to braille (range 0-255, default: 128)
|
||||
* -M, --map: use a custom character map
|
||||
* -w, --width: force a specific width of the output
|
||||
* -o, --output: Save the output to a text file, instead of printing to terminal
|
||||
* -h, --help: Print help information (extended info with '--help')
|
||||
|
||||
## conflicting flags
|
||||
The flags `--complex`, `--braille`, `--map` conflict.
|
||||
When two or more of these are entered in the same command,
|
||||
the program uses the one with the highest precedence, in the order
|
||||
`braille > complex > map`.
|
||||
|
||||
The flags `--output` and `--colour` also conflict.
|
||||
When both are entered, the flag `--output` takes precedence
|
||||
(leading to a simple txt file).
|
||||
|
||||
Lastly, the flags `--full` and `--width` are mutually exclusive.
|
||||
When both are entered, the flag `-full` will be applied
|
||||
(`full > width`).
|
||||
|
||||
# Documentation
|
||||
The program has been documented with RustDoc,
|
||||
which can be compiled and viewed with
|
||||
`cargo doc --open`.
