Callabletype hints andClosure::bindTo()) - jp2a (for image to ASCII conversion)
Run ./present.php example-slides/* to see the example slides. Advance slides with
Enter.
If you receive the error ./present.php: Permission denied: you may need to set the present
script to be executable using chmod +x present.php.
To run a single slide (e.g. one of the template slides), just pass the filename as the only argument:
./present.php template-slides/lines.php
- Basic text
- Line, rectangle, circle, ellipse, and simple bezier curve drawing
- Slide-X and slide-Y animations
- On-the-fly image to ASCII conversion
- Regular and bold ANSI colours
