Ascii Monet!

Command line utility for converting images into ascii-art! Works best in a terminal with a dark background.

drawing

Unfortunately, the images don't look great in Windows PowerShell because the darks aren't dark enough (??). But looks nice in Linux, WSL and CMD.

Install

Package is available on PyPi. Install with:

pip install ascii-monet

Usage

  • Use one of the sample images: ascii-monet --sample <IMAGE>
  • Or pass in the path to an image: ascii-monet <IMAGE_PATH>

Examples

Each of the following examples are available by default via the --sample command.

Earth!

Mushrooms!

Issues

  • Height command not working properly
  • True grayscale images (with shape [W, H] instead of [W, H, 3]) not working
  • Images with alpha channel not working (shape [W, H, 4])
  • Not working properly in VSCode integrated terminal and Windows Terminal running Windows Powershell: darks not dark enough
