txttobitmap

===========

Simple script that converts given file to a bitmap.

The project emerged as a result of wondering "How to compress long text into a form that does not look scary for a human being?". While the generated images are obviously useless, it's still fun to play around with them.

Requirements

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

* Python 3.2+

Installation

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

::

    pip install txttobitmap

Usage

-----

::

    txttobitmap --mode {palette,grayscale} input output

* *mode* - one of the values:

  

  * *palette* - use 16 color palette (see: `Windows 16-color palette on Wikipedia `_) and represent each byte as two pixels

  * *grayscale* - represent each byte as grayscale pixel

* *input* - input file to convert

* *output* - output file to save the bitmap as
