NAME

aview - A high quality ASCII art image viewer

SYNOPSIS

aview [options] filename.p[ngbp]m
asciiview [options] filename.xxx

DESCRIPTION

This manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution because the original program does not have a manual page.

aview/asciiview is an image viewer which displays the images in ASCII art...

aview supports zooming/unzooming, three dithering modes, inversion, contrast, brightness, gamma control and can save into many formats (html, text, ansi, more/less etc.).

aview can only show files in the PNM file format. But asciiview automatically converts the file formats to PNM (with extern programs like NetPBM and ImageMagic) and then runs aview.

It supports the usual aalib drivers (e.g. slang, x11 and stdout) as well as the mousedrivers X11 and gpm.
