# Terminal True Color Art

_24-bit truecolor terminal art using ANSI escape codes_  

![](png/colorline_cropped.png)

This art is generated by a modified version of Egmont Koblinger's

[img.sh](https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/vte/blob/master/perf/img.sh) as img.sh.

You can use these images, especially `colorline.ans` and `ansitesting.ans` to

verify true color compatibility. Follow usage to see the SGR images in ans/ and verify

that they look like the pixel image in img/. 

For information on 24-bit true color and

terminal support for it, check out https://github.com/termstandard/colors.

For information on SGR codes, Wikipedia has a [good

section](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ANSI_escape_code#SGR_(Select_Graphic_Rendition)_parameters)

on it.

## Usage

### Generating ans files

To generate ans files using img.sh, use 

    bash img.sh -common  | tee .ans

* `-common` will ensure that it has a semicolon delimeter which is the most

  supported type

* Using `tee` will show you the produced image as it is being saved

### Printing ans files

You can use these images to verify whether your terminal supports 24-bit

truecolor using ANSI escape codes. To view the images, use your OS's file print

utility:

| Platform | Command           |

|----------|-------------------|

| \*nix    | `cat `  |

| Windows  | `type ` |

To see all ans files sequentially, use `$command ans/*.ans`.
