# TerminalImageViewer
|
||
|
||
Small Java program to display images in a (modern) terminal using RGB ANSI codes and unicode block graphic characters
|
||
|
||
Algorithm (for each 4x8 pixel cell mapped to a unicode block graphics character):
|
||
|
||
1. Find the color channel that has the biggest range of values for the current cell
|
||
2. Split the range in the middle
|
||
3. Average the colors above and below and create a corresponding bitmap for the cell
|
||
3. Compare the bitmap to the assumed bitmaps for the unicode block graphics characters
|
||
|
||
|
||
Usage:
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
javac TerminalImageViewer.java
|
||
|
||
java TerminalImageViewer [-w <width-in-characters>] <image-filename-or-url>
|
||
|
||
```
