Get-SpectreImageExperimental
Synopsis
Displays an image in the console using block characters and ANSI escape codes.
Description
This function loads an image from a file and displays it in the console using block characters and ANSI escape codes. The image is scaled to fit within the specified maximum width while maintaining its aspect ratio. If the image is an animated GIF, each frame is displayed in sequence with a configurable delay between frames.
Examples
Displays the image “MyImage.png” in the console with a maximum width of 80 characters.
PS C:\> Get-SpectreImageExperimental -ImagePath "C:\Images\MyImage.png" -MaxWidth 80Displays the animated GIF “MyAnimation.gif” in the console with a maximum width of 80 characters, repeating indefinitely.
PS C:\> Get-SpectreImageExperimental -ImagePath "C:\Images\MyAnimation.gif" -MaxWidth 80 -RepeatParameters
