Installation and usage
For development
Do poetry install, poetry shell.
or you can install the package (to download from this repo):
pip install termart-0.1.0-py3-none-any.whl
# or
poetry add ./termart-0.1.0-py3-none-any.whl
# or
pipenv install termart-0.1.0-py3-none-any.whl
Then:
python -m termart licorn.png
this will create a ddata.txt containing textual pixels (r g y b m c w d), as mapped in file termart/base_colors.py :
colors = [
["red", "r", (221, 0, 203), 1],
["green", "g", (10, 159, 0), 2],
["yellow", "y", (185, 167, 26), 3],
["blue", "b", (0, 23, 120), 4],
["magenta", "m", (94, 8, 131), 5],
["cyan", "c", (0, 140, 242), 6],
["white", "w", (241, 241, 241), 15],
["black", "d", (0, 0, 0), 256],
]
It will also populate drawing.sh and show you what executing it looks like in the console:
More
python -m termart -t example_data/first_licorn.txt
will convert ddata.txt pixels to drawing.sh (useful if you need to do adjustments with your text editor and don't have a GUI for producing a licorn.png)
