ansipix

A rust library for converting images to ANSI strings to print in a terminal

Usage

Add as dependency

Add the following to your Cargo.toml

ansipix = "0.1.1"

Get an ANSI string

use std::path::PathBuf;

let img = ansipix::of_image(PathBuf::from("path/to/image"), (50, 50), 100, false);

Refer to the docs for more information about the parameters.

Specify a different filter type

ansipix uses the image crate for opening and resizing the image. The of_image function uses FilterType::Nearest for resizing. To specify a different one, add the image crate to your dependencies and use of_image_with_filter:

use std::path::PathBuf;
use image::imageops::FilterType;

let img = ansipix::of_image_with_filter(PathBuf::from("path/to/image"), (32, 32), 255, false, FilterType::Triangle);

Print Image to the Terminal

println!("{}", img.unwrap_or_else(|e| {
    eprintln!("Error while opening the file: {}", e);
    std::process::exit(1);
}));
