width=\"61%\"\u003e\u003c/h3\u003e\n\n`pxlart` is a pixel art editor written in C using the ncurses library that has vim like keybindings.\nI got the idea from a bash script called [pxltrm](https://github.com/dylanaraps/pxltrm).\n\n## Dependencies\n- `ncursesw`\n\n## Installation\n- Clone the repo\n\n`git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/mananapr/pxlart`\n\n- Compile using `make`\n\n`cd pxlart \u0026\u0026 make`\n\n- Install\n\n`sudo make install`\n\nArch Linux users can use the [AUR](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/pxlart) package.\n\n## Keybindings\n| Key | Function |\n|:---:| --- |\n| \u003ckbd\u003eh j k l\u003c/kbd\u003e | Navigation keys |\n| \u003ckbd\u003ed\u003c/kbd\u003e/\u003ckbd\u003eSpace\u003c/kbd\u003e | Draw |\n|

(0-255) for color input. You can use a script like [this](https://gist.github.com/MicahElliott/719710) to see what number corresponds to what color.\n\n## Image Export\nSaved projects can be exported to image formats using the mkppm utility\nincluded with pxlart.\n\nA saved project called \"foo\" will generate a file called \"foo.data\", which\ncan be passed into the mkppm utility to create \"foo.ppm\".\n\n`mkppm foo.data foo.ppm`\n\nThe PPM file can then be converted to a PNG file using imagemagick:\n\n`convert foo.ppm foo.png`\n\n## TODO\n- [x] Add ability to save and load\n- [x] Add ability to export to image formats\n- [x] Make PKGBUILD for AUR\n- [x] Write a manpage\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fmananapr%2Fpxlart","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fmananapr%2Fpxlart","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fmananapr%2Fpxlart/lists"}
