Turn images on your heard drive or on the internet to asciiart...even 
colorized

.

*New In This Version: Colorized output!*

*In Code:*

require 'asciiart'

a = AsciiArt.new("/Users/sschor/Desktop/uncle_larry.jpg")
#or
a = AsciiArt.new("
https://f.cloud.github.com/assets/54012/36827/2081...
")
puts a.to_ascii_art
=> ...untold glory follows
#or
puts a.to_ascii_art(color: true)
=> ...now you're cooking with gas


*From The Command Line using the 'asciiart' executable:*
      $ asciiart ~/Desktop/uncle_larry.jpgor even
      $ asciiart http://www.google.com/images/srpr/logo3w.png

      $ asciiart -h

  Usage: asciiart [options] <path_or_url>
