Giving values like -0.5 will make the characters overlap a little. Have Fun! [default: 0.0] -t, --threshold The threshold to determine whether a pixel is foreground or background [default: 0.5] -b, --background The background character [default: " "] --mode The mode to render the text "round": the rendered text will be rounded "square": the rendered text will be squared default is "round" [default: round] -a, --aspect-ratio The aspect ratio of the cursor The ratio height/width of actual rendered character (e.g. the unicode box drawing characters) Since we use (mono) character as pixel, the proper aspect ratio should be given to make the image looks good [default: 2.0] -w, --width The maximum width of the rendered image If a single character cannot be fit into this width, the program will panic If the given string exceeds this width, it will be wrapped into multiple lines [default: 80] -h, --help Print help (see a summary with '-h') -V, --version Print version ```
