Usage

asciicli [-h] [--width] [--height] [--set] [--random] [--invert] [--darkness] C:/full/path/to/your/image

Set 1: A -> Z
Set 2: 0 -> 9
Set 3: 0, O, o, 8, 9, 6, @, &, ., ", :
Set 4: ▀, ▄, ▌, ▐, ■, ◽, ◆, ►, ●, ░, ▒, ▓, █
Set 5: !, @, #, $, %, ^, &, *, (, ), _, +, -, =

NOTE: SET 3 MIGHT NOT DISPLAY CORRECTLY IN CERTAIN FONTS OR EDITORS

If you have downloaded the application through pip input the following command in the terminal: asciicli --width 40 --height 17 --set 1 --random True C:/full/path/to/your/image

If you are running the .exe package you will need to slightly alter the command by calling the exact folder of ASCIIcli .\path\to\asciicli.exe --width 40 --height 17 --set 1 --random True C:/full/path/to/your/image

This command will set the width to 40, the height to 17 and the character set to one. The --set 1 variable is optional as the default character set is one. Random has been set to true and it will take the image from assets/input.jpg and generate a .txt file titled input-ascii.jpg in the same folder as the image.

Random and Invert are boolians and must be set to True/False, whereas Darkness, Set, Height and Width are all integers.
