cacaplay(1) General Commands Manual cacaplay(1)NAME
cacaplay - play libcaca files
SYNOPSIS
cacaplay [FILE]
DESCRIPTION
cacaplay plays libcaca animation files. These files can be created by any libcaca program by setting the CACA_DRIVER environment variable
to raw and storing the program's standard output.
If no file argument is provided or '-' is used, cacaplay will read its data from the standard input.
EXAMPLES
cacaplay file.caca
CACA_DRIVER=raw CACA_GEOMETRY=80x32 cacademo | cacaplay

img2txt(1) General Commands Manual img2txt(1)NAME
img2txt - convert images to various text-based coloured files
SYNOPSIS
img2txt [ -W width ] [ -H height ] [ -x font-width ] [ -y font-height ]
[ -b brightness ] [ -c contrast ] [ -g gamma ]
[ -d dither ] [ -f format ] FILE
DESCRIPTION
img2txt converts images to colour ASCII characters and outputs them to text-based coloured files.
img2txt can load the most widespread image formats: PNG, JPEG, GIF, PNG, BMP etc (see NOTES for details). By default the output text is 60
columns wide, and the line count is computed accordingly to respect aspect ratio of original file. The default output format is standard
ANSI coloured text.
OPTIONS -W, --width=<width>
Change output column count. If not given, the default is set to 60.
-H, --height=<height>
Change output line count. If not given, the height is computed to match correct aspect ratio.
-x, --font-width=<width>
Change output font width. If not given, the default is set to 6. This value will be used for computing aspect ratio.
-y, --font-height=<height>
Change output font height. If not given, the default is set to 10. This value will be used for computing aspect ratio.
-b, --brightness=<brightness>
Change image brightness. Default to 1.0.
-c, --contrast=<contrast>
Change image contrast. Default to 1.0.
-g, --gamma=<gamma>
Change image gamma. Default to 1.0.
-d, --dither=<dither>
Change dithering algorithm. This can be one of the following (default to fstein) :
none : Nearest color
ordered2 : Ordered 2x2
ordered4 : Ordered 4x4
ordered8 : Ordered 8x8
random : Random
fstein : Floyd Steinberg
-f, --format=<format>
Change output format. This can be one of the following (default to ansi) :
ansi : coloured ANSI
caca : internal libcaca format
utf8 : UTF8 with CR
utf8cr : UTF8 with CRLF (MS Windows)
html : HTML with CSS and DIV support
html3 : Pure HTML3 with tables
irc : IRC with ctrl-k codes
bbfr : BBCode (French)
ps : Postscript
svg : Scalable Vector Graphics
tga : Targa Image
-h, --help
Display help message and exit.
-v, --version
Display version of the program and exit.
EXAMPLES
img2txt hello.jpg > hello.ans
img2txt --width=40 --format=svg hello.jpg > tinyhello.svg
NOTES
Setting both column and line count (using --width and --height) will let you choose the exact output size without taking aspect ratio in
account.
You must compile libcaca package with support of Imlib2 to be able to load a wide variety of image formats. Otherwise you will only be
able to load regular BMP files.
