txt2img 1.0.3

a python tool to convert the text into a image.

txt2img is a python tool to convert the text into a image.

1. Introduction

Normally people read the text in the .txt file. Sometimes there are needs for people to render the text into an image, for example you don’t want the text being copied, or you’d like to render the ascii art with colors, etc.

2. how to use it

After install, you can convert a text to a picture easily:

txt2img input.txt output.png

After install, you can also embed the asciiart directly into a html or pdf document with my developed script: sphinxcontrib-cmd2img, for examples:

.. cmd2img:: txt2img
    :caption: a flower
