Small C++ program to display images in a (modern) terminal using RGB ANSI codes
|
|
and unicode block graphic characters.
|
|
|
|
There are various similar tools (such as timg) using the unicode half block
|
|
character to display two 24bit pixels per character cell. This program enhances
|
|
the resolution by mapping 4x8 pixel cells to different unicode characters,
|
|
using the following algorithm:
|
|
|
|
For each 4x8 pixel cell of the (potentially downscaled) image:
|
|
* Find the color channel (R, G or B) that has the biggest range of values for
|
|
the current cell.
|
|
* Split this range in the middle and create a corresponding bitmap for the cell.
|
|
* Compare the bitmap to the assumed bitmaps for various unicode block graphics
|
|
characters.
|
|
* Re-calculate the foreground and background colors for the chosen character.
