NAME
     cacaview - ASCII image browser

SYNOPSIS
     cacaview [FILE...]

DESCRIPTION
     cacaview  is  a lightweight text mode image viewer. It renders images using
     colour ASCII characters. It is a powerful add-on to famous console programs
     such as the mutt email client, the slrn newsreader and the links or w3m web
     browsers.

     cacaview can load the most widespread image formats: PNG, JPEG,  GIF,  PNG,
     BMP etc.

     You  can zoom and scroll the image around for more details, and choose four
     different dithering modes. All commands are accessible through a single key
     press.

KEYS

     n, p   switch to next image, previous image

     z	    reset the zoom level to normal

     f	    switch fullscreen mode (hide/show menu and status bars)

     d	    toggle the dithering mode (no dithering, 4x4 ordered dithering,  8x8
	    ordered dithering and random dithering)

     q	    exit the program

EXAMPLE
     cacaview /usr/share/pixmaps/*.*

BUGS
     There  is	no support for aspect ratio yet. Also, since there is no way yet
     to load an image from cacaview it is completely useless when run without an
     argument.
