'ascii' render style #58

Open AnonymouX47 opened 2 years ago

AnonymouX47 commented 2 years ago

Branches off #57

This render style is based on three major things:

ASCII characters
Character density
Lightness of an image pixel

Progress:

[ ] Sizing
[ ] Rendering
[ ] CLI integration
[ ] TUI integration
- *

Initial idea

A specific set of ASCII characters will be selected, each with a different density and ordered by increasing density.
- Might end up having multiple sets to choose from.
The image will be resized to a density of one pixel per cell.
Each pixel is mapped to a character defined by the relation:
```
px = chars[(lightness * len(chars)) // 255]
```

Style args:

invert: bool = False -> Inverts the greyscale.

Any suggestions are always welcome. 😃
