This is a C program that converts an image into ASCII and unicode art using ANSI escape sequences. It uses the stb_image library to load the image and then maps each pixel to a corresponding ASCII character.

• Converts images into ASCII art
• Supports grayscale and RGB images
• Adjustable output width
• Error handling for invalid image files and memory allocation

To compile the program, run the following command:

gcc -o termview src/main.c -lm

This will create an executable file called image_to_ascii.

To run the program, use the following command:

./termview -d input_image.jpg -w 80

Replace input_image.jpg with the path to the image file you want to convert, and 80 with the desired output width.

• -h: Display help message
• -v: Display version information
• -d: Path to the input image file
• -w: Output width
• -c: Colored output
• -r: High resolution output

./termview -d input_image.jpg -w 80
./termview -d input_image.jpg -w 80 -c
./termview -d input_image.jpg -w 80 -r

• stb_image library (included in the repository)

• The program assumes that the input image is in a format that can be loaded by the stb_image library (e.g. JPEG, PNG, BMP).
• The output ASCII art is printed to the console, but it can be redirected to a file using standard output redirection (e.g. ./termview -d input_image.jpg -w 80 > output.txt).
