A macOS utility for generating ASCII versions of image files. This was a fun project to
learn a little about NSImage
/CGImage
.
I've made other versions of this program in scala and go, I think. They live somewhere on my github account (most likely in the small_programs
repos).
A screenshot:
Usage: asciipic [options] filename
--aspectRatio | -a <Double>
the aspect ratio of your text font (default: 1.5)
--width | -w <Int>
the desired width of the output (default: 72)
--invert
invert the brightness (can make some images look nicer)
--help
prints this help text
