Broil

Broil is a simple image-to-braille converter using Imlib2. You can find out more about it on the Github page.

Usage

broil IMAGE_FILE [-t THRESHOLD] [-s SIZE] [-d <for dithering>]

• The threshold specifies how bright a pixel must be for it to turn white.
• The size specifies the width of the output image in pixels (the aspect ratio is preserved)
• The dithering option turns on dithering, which colors pixels based on a random value, so that even some pixels darker than ratio are visible. Works better with large images.

Dependencies

• Imlib2
