PIXELTERM
|
|
=========
|
|
A utility to render pixely images on your terminal. Now also with animated GIF
|
|
support*.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
*for best results, use tmux (for some reason that reduces flickering)
|
|
|
|
Installation
|
|
------------
|
|
Type ```sudo make install```, which will copy pixelterm.py to ```/usr/local/bin/pixelterm```.
|
|
|
|
Usage
|
|
-----
|
|
```pixelterm FILE```
|
|
|
|
Advanced usage
|
|
--------------
|
|
Since I wrote this tool to generate graphics for
|
|
[ponysay](https://github.com/jaseg/ponysay), I included a "speech bubble"
|
|
feature. To make this tool render speech bubble markers which can later be
|
|
parsed by ponysay, color the pixels where these should be placed 50%
|
|
transparent red (#FF00007F) for a backward slash link, 50% blue for a forward
|
|
slash and a 50% transparent green for the speech bubble. Please note that this
|
|
tool converts images two pixel rows at once and these "special" color values
|
|
are only parsed for the upper of the two rows. An example image is included.
