SYNOPSIS

use Text::AAlib;
use Imager;

my $img = Imager->new( file => 'sample.jpg' );
my ($width, $height) = ($img->getwidth, $img->getheight);

my $aa = Text::AAlib->new(
    width  => $width,
    height => $height,
    mask   => AA_REVERSE_MASK,
);

$aa->put_image(image => $img);
print $aa->render();

DESCRIPTION

Text::AAlib is perl binding for AAlib. AAlib is a library for creating ascii art(AA).

INTERFACE

Class Methods

Text::AAlib->new(%args)

Instance Methods

$aalib->putpixel(%args)

x :Int

x-coordinate of pixel. x parameter should be 0 <= x <= width. width is parameter of constructor.

y :Int

y-coordinate of pixel. y parameter should be 0 <= y <= height. height is parameter of constructor.

color :Int

Brightness of pixel. color parameter should be 0 <= color <= 255.

$aalib->puts(%args)

x :Int

x-coordinate.

y :Int

y-coordinate

string :Str

String set

attribute :Enum(enum aa_attribute)

Buffer attribute. This parameter should be AA_NORMAL, AA_BOLD, AA_DIM, AA_BOLDFONT, AA_REVERSE.

$aalib->put_image(%args)

x :Int = 0

x-coordinate.

y :Int = 0

y-coordinate

image :Imager

Image as Imager object

$aalib->render(%args) :Str

Render buffer and return it as plain text. You can specify render parameter following

bright :Int
contrast :Int
gamma :Float
dither :Enum
inversion :Int

$aalib->as_string($with_attr) :Str

Return AA as string. If $with_attr is true, text attribute(BOLD, DIM, REVERSE) is enable.
