Generates text representations of images
USAGE:
txtpic [FLAGS] [OPTIONS] <IMAGE>
FLAGS:
-h, --help Prints help information
-i, --invert Invert the result to make it suitable for black text on a white background
-V, --version Prints version information
OPTIONS:
-c, --character-set <CHARACTERS> An alternate character set to use
-p, --preset <PRESET NAME> A preset character set to use [default: small] [values: small, medium, large, emoji]
-w, --width <WIDTH> An approximate width value for the result [default: 80]
ARGS:
<IMAGE> The input image
Note: the --width option attempts find a width close to the target width that preserves
the aspect ratio of the original image. For certain images, there may be only one or two
valid widths within a reasonable range, so the --width option may not appear to have an effect.
In this case, try extremely high or extremely low width values to affect the output.
