It can also convert images to cowfiles, +for use with cowsay(6). + +No checking is done on the terminal size. Each character cell in the +terminal gets a 2x2 block of pixels, so if your terminal is 80x25, the +largest image it can display is 160x50 pixels. + +This is known to work with xterm, konsole, and xfce4-terminal +from Slackware 14.2; and rxvt-unicode (urxvt) and st from +SlackBuilds.org. Plain rxvt doesn't seem to support 256-color mode, +so it won't work there. Sadly, it doesn't work in the Linux console +either. + +The package includes the GIMP palette mentioned in the README.md, and +an RMS cowfile. Try: cowsay -f rmshd "Hello" |
