A small command-line application to view images from the terminal written in Rust. It uses lower half blocks (▄ or \u2584) to fit 2 pixels into a single cell by adjusting foreground and background colours accordingly.
Installation is currently only available from source and a local Rust environment is required.
```bash git clone https://github.com/atanunq/viu.git
cd viu/ cargo install --path .
viu img/smallimage.jpg ```
Examples:
viu img/smallimage.jpg viu img/*The shell will expand the wildcard above and viu will display all the images in the folder one after the other. For a more informative output when dealing with folders the flag -n could be used.
If no flags are supplied to viu it will try to get the size of the terminal where it was invoked. If it succeeds it will fit the image and preserve the aspect ratio. The aspect ratio will be changed only if both options -w and -h are used together.
```
USAGE:
viu [FLAGS] [OPTIONS]
FLAGS: -m, --mirror Display a mirror of the original image -n, --name Output the name of the file before displaying -v, --verbose Output what is going on
OPTIONS:
-h, --height
