Draw images in an ANSI terminal! Requires that your terminal can show ANSI colours, and uses a font that can show the 'bottom half block' character (▄).
Usage: python3.9 termpix.py <filename|url> [--width <width>] [--height <height>] [--true-color|--true-colour] [--output output.txt]
filename or url can be any image file readable by the python 'PIL' library or can be any video file readable by imageio. It also supports HEIC format, if pyheif and libffi libheif are installed. If you type camera as the filename, you can view your webcam video.
It will fill as much of the terminal as possible, while keeping the aspect ratio of the input image. Use --width or --height to override this.
Try this command:
python3.9 termpix.py https://img.blogs.es/anexom/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/mario-destacada_E.jpg --true-color . And you will see:
This library is also extended to play video in terminal (with audio), you can try the python3.9 termpix.py <mp4_filename>
This project is much inspired by the following repository: https://github.com/hopey-dishwasher/termpix
# if you want to play video, followings are required
# apt install -y portaudio ffmpeg
pip3 install -r requirements.txt
