Todo for self: image rendering

Open polyzium opened this issue 3 years ago • 2 comments

What do you want

Display bundled images/bitmaps as characters (braille, Unicode or ASCII art)

Why

Some guy requested it (00face?)

Implementation hints

  • A friend of mine's braille converter in python (private repo) can be used. Needs to be ported over.
  • 2 colours (fg/bg) per 2x4 braille cell
  • Possibly use dithering
  • Rendering for the unscii font (Unicode) needs a separate mode. Implementation is in the unscii source archive.
  • ASCII rendering (aalib for monochrome, libcaca for colour)

He didn't like it because there isn't enough space in the chat box for sufficient resolution of the image. People who use Cordless in a Linux tty or a fullscreen terminal can take advantage of that by fullscreening the image.
