Script for converting an image to an ascii representation.
(venv) ...\imascii> python main.py -h
usage: main.py [-h] [-wt WIDTH] [-ht HEIGHT] [-d] [-t THRESHOLD] [-c CHAR_SET] [-r] [-s SAVE]
image
positional arguments:
image path to image
options:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-wt WIDTH, --width WIDTH
Value to modify width. A value of 0-1 is used as a ratio to calculate
the resized image width. Values >1 are used as the number of pixels
in the resized image width. E.g. -w 0.5 would halve the width of the
image, and -w 30 would set the image width as 30 pixels. By default,
the image will undergo proportional resizing so that its width fits
within the width of the terminal window.
-ht HEIGHT, --height HEIGHT
Value to modify height. A value of 0-1 is used as a ratio to
calculate the resized image height. Values >1 are used as the number
of pixels in the resized image height. E.g. -h 0.5 would halve the
height of the image, and -h 30 would set the image height as 30
pixels.
-d, --distort When passed, causes the image to undergo non-proportional resizing
(i.e. only the specified dimension is changed) if -wt or -ht are also
passed. If both -wt and -ht are passed, the image will always undergo
non-proportional resizing. Defaults to False.
-t THRESHOLD, --threshold THRESHOLD
Integer to use as the threshold value for converting a greyscale
pixel (of value in the range 0 to 255) to either black or white.
Defaults to 127.
-c CHAR_SET, --char_set CHAR_SET
Characters to use to generate the ascii image. Defaults to "0QO".
-r, --random Selects characters from the character set at random when generating
the ascii image. By default, characters are selected based on the
order they appear in in the given character set, and the characters
are repeated in that order.
-s SAVE, --save SAVE Filename to save ascii image to (as .txt file)
