Installation

Through cargo

cargo install rustii

Manually

Linux

Just download the appropriate binary from latest release and copy it to a directory specified in your $PATH, for example:

sudo cp rustii /usr/bin

Windows

  1. Download rustii.exe from latest release
  2. Create a folder named rustii anywhere you like
  3. Copy rustii.exe to the newly created folder
  4. Type environment in your search bar and hit Enter
  5. Click the Environment Variables... button
  6. Select Path variable and click Edit...
  7. Click New and then Browse..., then find and select the rustii folder
  8. Click OK and you're done!

Usage

Basically rustii has 2 commands:

  • render - generates ASCII art from a specified image
  • open - prints specified ASCII art to the terminal/console

rustii compresses generated ASCII art file by default, so if you want to get the raw ASCII art, you can simply redirect the output of the open command, for example: rustii open ascii.txt > raw_ascii.txt

Type rustii --help or rustii -h to get more details

Examples

rustii render avatar.jpg --output ascii.txt --scale 0.22 0.09 --contrast 10 image

rustii render catedral.jpg --output ascii.txt --scale 0.13 0.053 image(1)

rustii render woman.jpg --output ascii.txt --scale 0.09 0.032 --contrast -5 image(2)
