meme2txt

It's the utility you didn't you know you needed. Make memes right in your terminal.

Dependencies

In order to run, img2txt.py is required. In addition, toilet is recommended for quality memes. You can also use the docker container script meme2txt.docker in place of meme2txt to avoid downloading cruft (just be sure to release special characters in your arguments).

Usage

Usage:
  meme2txt <img2txt arguments> [--meme text column row [color]]

• <img2txt arguments> will generally be <image path> --targetAspect=xx. See img2txt for comprehensive list of commands.
• --meme renders text to the image.
  • text can be a multiline blob of text.
  • column the column number to start the text.
  • row the row number to start the text.
  • color one of (black|red|blue|green|yellow|grey|white). Defaults to black. To use the system default, use -.
