## Introduction
Do you ever find yourself logged into a server, over SSH, but there is no X11 connection.
And you want to see the contents of an image?
imcat to the rescue!
imcat is a 24-bit image viewer that uses ANSI terminal colours to display any image supported by STB.
It automatically resizes to the width of your terminal, using proper sampling kernels.
