Introduction

This program was made for practising GoLang and does not claim any

skill in this language. Just enjoy the result!

Requirements

------------

In order to use `terimg`, you will need:

- A 256 color compatible shell (`gnome-terminal` does the trick)

- A `go` compiler such as `go`

Usage

-----

Just run the compiled program:

    terimg  [terminal_width] [preserve_ratio]

Just set `[preserve_ratio]` to any value in order to try to preserve

the picture size ratio.

Currently, `terimg` is working with `png` and `jpg` files.

Configuration

-------------

`terimg` uses a default configuration which is set in `rgb.csv`. It

gives all the rgb values of the 256 colors the user's terminal can

display. You can use the Python script `display_colors.py` to print

all the available colors of your own terminal in the correct order.

You will then need to modify `rgb.csv` in order to have better

results.
