Terminal True Color Art

24-bit truecolor terminal art using ANSI escape codes

This art is generated by a modified version of Egmont Koblinger's img.sh as img.sh. You can use these images, especially colorline.ans and ansitesting.ans to verify true color compatibility. Follow usage to see the SGR images in ans/ and verify that they look like the pixel image in img/.

For information on 24-bit true color and terminal support for it, check out https://github.com/termstandard/colors. For information on SGR codes, Wikipedia has a good section on it.

Usage

Generating ans files

To generate ans files using img.sh, use

bash img.sh -common <img> | tee <img>.ans

• -common will ensure that it has a semicolon delimeter which is the most supported type
• Using tee will show you the produced image as it is being saved

Printing ans files

You can use these images to verify whether your terminal supports 24-bit truecolor using ANSI escape codes. To view the images, use your OS's file print utility:

Platform	Command
*nix	cat <file.ans>
Windows	type <file.ans>

To see all ans files sequentially, use $command ans/*.ans.
