Hi! Forgive me, but I was looking for a program that would produce nice color ANSI images out of graphical source files. I don't know anything about the library, and I barely managed to figure out that this was in the Rust programming language? But that's about it.

For me and those like me, I hope this isn't blasphemy, but would you consider including some really basic instructions on how to compile termimage for those who are just in it for what the program can do?

Apologies... and thanks for a nice program!

Ah, yes! Sorry for the delay, but could you please take a look over at the new Installation sexion and see if that helps?

I've got it compiled. Awesome! Thank you very much. I appreciate that you took the time to put a bit of hand-holding out there. I've got 16 color output and 16m color output. Two comments/questions:

  1. Is it just me, or is the 16 color "simple" output significantly inverted?
  2. Any thoughts on 256 color support, or perhaps just 250 color support (and excluding the first 16 colors since they have not always been implemented with exacting colors)? Thanks.

It's not as much "inverted" as it's based on a light terminal colour scheme, because Ell was the only one online and on Linux when I was writing this. If you have a Linux desktop and are willing to contribute to fixing the colours, then I kindly ask you to run this script and post a screenshot of it in some default terminal, preferably in high resolution.

We currently support the standard ANSI 16F/8B and 24b truecolour. Do you have a reference link to the 256/250 escapes?
