caca-utils

text mode graphics utilities

This package contains utilities and demonstration programs for libcaca, the Colour AsCii Art library. cacaview is a simple image viewer for the terminal. It opens most image formats such as JPEG, PNG, GIF etc. and renders them on the terminal using ASCII art. The user can zoom and scroll the image, set the dithering method or enable anti-aliasing. cacafire is a port of AALib's aafire and displays burning ASCII art flames. cacademo is a tiny graphic program that renders animated ASCII metaballs, matrix effects, colourful moiré circles and old school plasma effects.

libcaca

libcaca is the Colour AsCii Art library. It provides high level

functions for color text drawing, simple primitives for line, polygon and ellipse drawing, as well as powerful image to text conversion routines.
