It seems like there is no exported NewFromImage method, which is really ironic, considering how the unexported function takes in one. I could do a PR if you want.

1. Adds Windows console colors support for Command Prompt and PowerShell
2. Adds option to output format string instead of image. Output then can be used in Printf function to print image in users application.
3. Adds option to disable setting backgrounds for cahracters

How does this idea sound to you? I came across your project and really wanted to use it in one of my hobby projects. In the current state, I had to copy and paste a bunch of your code but making it a library would be very much nicer.

I tried to vendor the ansimage package using dep. But when compiling my project I see two errors of kind multiple-value colorful.MakeColor() in single-value context in those lines:

https://github.com/eliukblau/pixterm/blob/a39660c811b7075c5de15f35350f27d6d4dfe630/ansimage/ansimage.go#L466-L467

The error makes perfect sense, but I don't get what went wrong here. You may have used a very old version of go-colorful. Check out the releases, I might make sense to update your glide config tot use the 1.0 release.

This PR makes up for the fact that ANSI color sequences don't support opacity/alpha channel.

A new command-line option -m is added to specify the matte color. 0 (default) for black, 1 for white.

I'm using pixterm to convert animated gifs for my project: https://github.com/mattLLVW/e.xec.sh

Would you be interested in a PR adding this functionality?

The vast majority of go module package have a single go.mod at the root. With the way it's done at the moment, go get a bit confused. You can't import only the ansimage package with the tag and you have to import with a commit hash (github.com/eliukblau/pixterm/pkg/ansimage v0.0.0-20191210081756-9fb6cf8c2f75).

Note: having the pixterm command in the same go module in not really a problem. go.mod define a coherent set of file as a package, not a compilation unit. It's entirely valid to import the whole thing and only use (and compile) ansimage. If you really want to separate the two, you can either split the command into its own repo or add another go.mod for the command while keeping the root one.

Also, the replace directive, while working, is really something that should be used only for advanced use cases like a local fork.

I understand that you structured the project according to https://github.com/golang-standards/project-layout, but they also say that the layout will need to be changed for go modules.

Also, it compiles without problem with go 1.12.

Is there a way to make the background transparent? as in not black or white, but transparent with the terminal. I really want some images turned to ascii with colors but let the background be transparent like my terminal. Your tool does the best job with colors and gradients from what I've seen.

This avoids redirects when opening a website that enforces HTTPS usage.

This also makes the link clickable in pixterm's help message (in terminal emulators that support automatic link creation).

Which includes:

• Remove glide
• Adopt to colorful API change
• Add go module support for ansimage
• Move pixman to cmd directory
• Update documentation
• Remove vendor directory

Unix/Go package is required be updated to the latest if you are on go version 1.19 added the command to readme for apple devices because it is not done by default (with go get or go mod tidy) and only some go project repos will trigger this requirement

terminal input

go mod tidy
go run cmd/pixterm/pixterm.go

error output:

# command-line-arguments
cmd/pixterm/pixterm.go:64:3: undefined: printIcon
cmd/pixterm/pixterm.go:68:2: undefined: printContributors

For some odd reason there's an issue within func printCredits()

printIcon() & printContributers() are out of scope therefore unreachable

if you comment out printIcon() & printContributers() within func printCredits() then it builds successfully
