# NAME
notcurses-view - Render images and video to a terminal
# SYNOPSIS
**notcurses-view** [**-h|--help**] [**-d delaymult**] [**-l loglevel**] [**-s scalemode**] [**-k**] files
# DESCRIPTION
**notcurses-view** uses a multimedian-enabled notcurses to render images
and videos to a terminal. Media will be scaled to the terminal's size.
# OPTIONS
**-d delaymult**: Apply a rational multiplier to the framerate.
**-l loglevel**: Log everything (high log level) or nothing (log level 0) to stderr.
**-s scalemode**: Scaling mode, one of **none**, **scale**, or **stretch**.
**-m margins**: Define rendering margins (see below).
**-k**: Inhibit use of the alternate screen. Necessary if you want the output left on your terminal after the program exits.
files: Select which files to render, and what order to render them in.
Default margins are all 0 and default scaling is **stretch**. The full
rendering area will thus be used. Using **-m**, margins can be supplied.
Provide a single number to set all four margins to the same value, or four
comma-delimited values for the top, right, bottom, and left margins
respectively. Negative margins are illegal.
Scaling mode **stretch** resizes the object to match the target rendering
area exactly. **scale** resizes the object so that the longer edge of the
rendering area is matched exactly, and the other edge is changed to
maintain aspect ratio. **none** uses the original image size.
Blitters can be selected by pressing '0' through '8'. **NCBLIT_DEFAULT**
corresponds to '0'. The various blitters are described in
**notcurses_visual**.
A video can be paused with space. Press space (or any other valid control)
to unpause.
# NOTES
Optimal display requires a terminal advertising the **rgb** terminfo(5)
capability, or that the environment variable **COLORTERM** is defined to
**24bit** (and that the terminal honors this variable), along with a
fixed-width font with good coverage of the Unicode Block Drawing Characters.
