cacaview - ASCII image browser

cacaview [FILE...]

cacaview is a lightweight text mode image viewer. It renders images using colour ASCII characters. It is a powerful add-on to famous console programs such as the mutt email client, the slrn newsreader and the links or w3m web browsers.

cacaview can load the most widespread image formats: PNG, JPEG, GIF, PNG, BMP etc.

You can zoom and scroll the image around for more details, and choose four different dithering modes. All commands are accessible through a single key press.

n, p

Left, Right, Up, Down or h, l, k, j

+, -
zoom in and out
z
reset the zoom level to normal
f
switch fullscreen mode (hide/show menu and status bars)
d

q
exit the program

cacaview /usr/share/pixmaps/*.*

There is no support for aspect ratio yet. Also, since there is no way yet to load an image from cacaview it is completely useless when run without an argument.
