NAME

       cacaview - ASCII image browser

SYNOPSIS

       cacaview [FILE...]

DESCRIPTION

       cacaview  is  a lightweight text mode image viewer. It renders images using colour ASCII characters. It is a powerful add-on to famous con-
       sole programs such as the mutt email client, the slrn newsreader and the links or w3m web browsers.

       cacaview can load the most widespread image formats: PNG, JPEG, GIF, PNG, BMP etc.

       You can zoom and scroll the image around for more details, and choose four different dithering modes. All commands are accessible through a
       single key press.

KEYS

       ?      show the help screen

       n, p   switch to next image, previous image

       Left, Right, Up, Down or h, l, k, j
	      scroll the image around

       +, -   zoom in and out

       z      reset the zoom level to normal

       f      switch fullscreen mode (hide/show menu and status bars)

       d      toggle the dithering mode (no dithering, 4x4 ordered dithering, 8x8 ordered dithering and random dithering)

       q      exit the program

EXAMPLE

       cacaview /usr/share/pixmaps/*.*

BUGS

       There  is no support for aspect ratio yet. Also, since there is no way yet to load an image from cacaview it is completely useless when run
       without an argument.

NAME

       aview - A high quality ASCII art image viewer

SYNOPSIS

       aview [options] filename.p[ngbp]m
       asciiview [options] filename.xxx

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution because the original program does not have a manual page.

       aview/asciiview is an image viewer which displays the images in ASCII art...

       aview  supports	zooming/unzooming,  three  dithering  modes, inversion, contrast, brightness, gamma control and can save into many formats
       (html, text, ansi, more/less etc.).

       aview can only show files in the PNM file format. But asciiview automatically converts the file formats to PNM (with extern  programs  like
       NetPBM and ImageMagic) and then runs aview.

       It supports the usual aalib drivers (e.g. slang, x11 and stdout) as well as the mousedrivers X11 and gpm.
