| 50 | .SH DESCRIPTION |
|---|
| [1915] | 51 | .B img2txt |
|---|
| 52 | converts images to colour ASCII characters and outputs them to text-based |
|---|
| 53 | coloured files. |
|---|
| [1328] | 54 | .PP |
|---|
| [1915] | 55 | .B img2txt |
|---|
| 56 | can load the most widespread image formats: PNG, JPEG, GIF, PNG, BMP etc (see |
|---|
| 57 | .B NOTES |
|---|
| 58 | for details). |
|---|
| 59 | By default the output text is 60 columns wide, and the line count is |
|---|
| 60 | computed accordingly to respect aspect ratio of original file. |
|---|
| 61 | The default output format is standard ANSI coloured text. |
|---|
| 62 | |
|---|
| 63 | .SH OPTIONS |
|---|
| 64 | .TP |
|---|
| 65 | .B \-W, \-\-width=<width> |
|---|

|---|
| 67 | .TP |
|---|
| 68 | .B \-H, \-\-height=<height> |
|---|
| 69 | Change output line count. If not given, the height is computed to match correct aspect ratio. |
|---|
| 70 | .TP |
|---|
| [1919] | 71 | .B \-x, \-\-font-width=<width> |
|---|
| 72 | Change output font width. If not given, the default is set to 6. This value will be used for computing aspect ratio. |
|---|
| 73 | .TP |
|---|
| 74 | .B \-y, \-\-font-height=<height> |
|---|
| 75 | Change output font height. If not given, the default is set to 10. This value will be used for computing aspect ratio. |

| 120 | .SH NOTES |
|---|
| 121 | Setting both column and line count (using |
|---|
| 122 | \-\-width |
|---|
| 123 | and |
|---|
| 124 | \-\-height) will let you choose the exact output size without taking aspect ratio in account. |
|---|
| 125 | |
|---|
| 126 | You must compile libcaca package with support of |
|---|
| 127 | .I Imlib2 |
|---|
| 128 | to be able to load a wide variety of image formats. Otherwise you will only be able to load regular BMP files. |
