Feature/Documentation Request - Output to PNG/JPEG/etc

[mungewell]

Hi, Can you please explain how someone could output directly to PNG, or convert the (effectively) text output to PNG. Thanks.

Hi, thanks for the suggestion! Right now, image output isn't possible, but that could certainly be implemented. Easiest would probably be to produce output in a format such as PAM, which could then easily be converted to e.g. PNG with tools such as Imagemagick: convert out.pam out.png. Do you think that would be good enough? Depending on libpng or similar for a simple tool like this seems a bit overkill to me.

Implementing PAM output (or similar) should be easy enough, I could do that. The resulting image files would probably be pretty big though, at least if one dumps an entire file rather than just a small range.
