Rust ASCII Art Converter

This Rust tool converts images into ASCII art. It takes an image file as input, resizes it according to specified width and height parameters, and then converts the image into ASCII characters.

Installation

Use cargo to quickly and easily install ascii-gen:

cargo install ascii-gen

Usage

Run the tool:

ascii-gen path/to/your/image.jpg

Optional parameters:

• --width: Set the width of the output (default: 80)
• --height: Set the height of the output (default: 80)
• --gamma: Set the gamma of the ASCII art (default: 1.0)
• --live: Enable live editing of the ASCII art (default: false)

Examples:

ascii-gen path/to/your/image.jpg --width 120 --height 60

ascii-gen path/to/your/image.jpg --width 120 --height 60 --live
