It accepts image files, Pillow Image objects, or raw RGB arrays and converts them into colored text output, with support for ASCII or Unicode characters and color depths ranging from 8-color to full Truecolor. The library uses KDTrees for fast color lookup and memoization to optimize repeated conversions.\n\nThe package is designed for developers who need to display images in command-line interfaces, whether for visualization tools, terminal-based dashboards, or artistic rendering. It handles image resizing, color palette selection (including system palettes like Solarized), and provides both high-level conversion functions and lower-level helpers for pixel-by-pixel control over ANSI code generation.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you need terminal image display and can tolerate aging maintenance. The package is stable, has no known vulnerabilities, and low install friction. However, the 684-day gap since last release and aging status suggest it may not receive bug fixes or feature updates; verify that its current behavior meets your terminal and color-depth requirements before depending on it for critical workflows."},"id":"climage","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/climage","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/climage.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/climage/"},"maintenance":{"status":"aging"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2024-09-29","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"climage","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Convert images to beautiful ANSI escape codes"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":74873,"position":14779,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.2.2"}
