Thanks! I haven't seen one that does 24bit RGB + shape matching, would be interested in pointers (shading chars don't make sense in 24 bit color space). Unfortunately I had to remove some of the more interesting diagonal shapes because they are wider than the character cell -- despite the monospaced font... :-/ I actually wrote this because I wanted to test my "pure Java" implementation of strict Typescript by running the raytracer example -- without needing to add a windowing library or image encoder: https://github.com/stefanhaustein/typo https://github.com/stefanhaustein/typo Got the idea to extract the terminal image viewer from an Ubuntu stackexchange post asking for a tool that would display image thumbnails in the shell without opening a new window: http://askubuntu.com/questions/97542/how-do-i-make-my-terminal-display-graphical-pictures/185088 http://askubuntu.com/questions/97542/how-do-i-make-my-termin... If you run the tool on an image directory, I think you get a pretty good idea what's in the images from the thumbnails (compared to 16bit color)
