NAME

Image::TextMode::Renderer::GD - A GD-based renderer for text mode images

DESCRIPTION

METHODS

new( %args )

Creates a new instance.

thumbnail( $source, \%options )

Renders a thumbnail-sized version of the image. This is mostly a pass-through to fullscale() with the resulting image being scaled down to 1 pixel width per 1 character column. Options specific to this method are:

• zoom - a zoom factor for the thumbnail (default: n/a)

See fullscale for all of the other available options.

fullscale( $source, \%options )

Renders a pixel-by-pixel representation of the text mode image. You may use the following options to change the output:

• crop - limit the display to this may characters (default: n/a)
• blink_mode - disables the 8th bit of an attribute byte to be used with the background color (aka iCEColor) (default: false)
• true_color - set this to true to enable true color image output (default: false)
• 9th_bit - compatibility option to enable a ninth column in the font (default: false)
• ced - CED mode (black text on gray background) (default: false)
• format - the output format (default: png)
