Overview

Yet another piece of code that draws images in the terminal. Now written in C!

Bonus support for animated GIFs.

---

"Animated" GIF in the terminal

Colored background without ASCII characters

Alpha channel support

Usage

pterm FILE [-b] [-w output_width] [-h output_height] [-t file_type]

• FILE: path to an RGB-convertible image file

• -b: color 'background' instead of ASCII characters

• -w: specify output width (mutually exclusive with -h)

• -h: specify output height (mutually exclusive with -w)

• -t: image format; relevant if the input image is piped via stdin

Supported image formats: JPEG, PNG, TGA, BMP, PSD, GIF, HDR, PIC, PNM (see details in stb_image.h)

Header

If you wish to include pterm in your project:

#define PTERM_IMPLEMENTATION

before including pterm.h to create the implementation.

Notes

Please don't judge the code, it's just an excercise to prevent me from completely forgetting how to C.

Setup

Linux

Clone & make. Of course you can use CMakeLists.txt as well but it's just there for future Windows support.

Windows

Not supported yet; not until I figure out how to convince a Windows terminal to recognize ANSI colors.

Dependencies

None (apart from a C compiler and make/CMake). Included external sources:

• stb_image.h
• stb_image_resize.h
