cacaview(1)		    General Commands Manual		   cacaview(1)

NAME
       cacaview	- ASCII	image browser

SYNOPSIS
       cacaview	[FILE...]

DESCRIPTION
       cacaview	is a lightweight text mode image viewer. It renders images us-
       ing  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.

	      8x8 ordered dithering and	random dithering)

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.
