drawille VS chafa

I think it'd be really cool if it used braille characters to get higher resolution like https://github.com/asciimoo/drawille

Not OP, but for the folks asking the rendering is likely some version of https://github.com/asciimoo/drawille/.

If one is just looking for higher resolution semigraphics, then drawille ( https://github.com/asciimoo/drawille ) can put eight pixels into a single character using Unicode's Braille patterns. ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Braille_Patterns ) (Assuming, of course, that one has at least one font that supports that Unicode block.)

This is pretty cool!

It reminds me of a similar project that’s been around called drawille [0] which is pretty nifty.

The algorithm is based off of this one. Yes, I know there's a Lua version but I couldn't figure out how to get it to work with OpenComputers.

You ought to check out the Braille characters if you want to get high-res image display or graphs in terminal. Drawille is a good example of what can be done with them

Like some people here and under this post said, I like Kitty and would recommend it to anyone who uses/used Alacritty, as they are very similar in surface. I actually switch between Alacritty and Kitty pretty often, depending on my "mood". I recently went back to Kitty for image support (through chafa though, for better compatibility across terminal emulators). However, Wayland support is poor and I have some issues with fonts being too bold, although it could just be my config...

If you use a more modern terminal you can also use stuff like:

There's also https://github.com/princejoogie/chafa.nvim, which wraps https://github.com/hpjansson/chafa Did you know about that? I wonder what the differences between your plugin and that one are?

Hello r/Python! I'm here to introduce you to a project I've been working on called chafa.py source. These are Python bindings for the amazing terminal image visualizer Chafa.

this is a plugin that wraps the functionality of chafa into neovim. chafa is a way to display images in the terminal by converting it into ANSI escape sequences.

I guess it is using https://github.com/hpjansson/chafa for that, and it needs to be using https://github.com/seebye/ueberzug/tree/2c55173878906c3b221cdef16cf083f0c412bb58

See also https://github.com/hpjansson/chafa which is an image -> ANSI art library written in C. I built it into my BBS so users can embed images in their posts. Some turn out better than others but it gives the board a unique feel at least.
