NAME
png2html - transforms a PNG image to a web page
SYNOPSIS
png2html
[ imagefile.png textfile.txt output.html compatibility ]
Where compatibility is either 0, 1 or 2
0 = Small Source, but uncompatibile with some browsers
1 = Medium Size, works with almost anything.
|
2 = Large Source, strict HTML. |
DESCRIPTION
png2html
takes a PNG image and transforms it pixel by pixel to a web
page, encoding each pixel as an appropriately coloured
letter.
It is decided which letter to encode each pixel as by using
a text file supplied by the user.
NOTES
This program
assumes that 1 pixel should equal 1 character.
But characters are taller than they are wide, so you may
want to resize the image first, else the output image will
be taller than the original. Resizing is also advisable as
letters are larger than pixels.
|
Setting the output file to be "-", will direct the output to stdout; setting the text file to "-" will cause the program to read from stdin. |
