Trying to figure out how to render an image without line breaks.

[v4u6h4n]

Hey everyone, I'm trying to create a simple python script that prints twitch chats in my terminal, so far it's working, including rendering emotes, using an example script from the Kitty documentation, but I haven't had any luck figuring out how to stop the script adding line breaks after each rendered image, which breaks up messages onto multiple lines. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Here is the script I'm currently using; I think all I changed was related to allowing it to handle image URLs.

import sys
import requests
from base64 import standard_b64encode

def replace_placeholders(payload, placeholder_data):
    # Replace placeholders in the payload with the actual values from the dictionary
    for placeholder, value in placeholder_data.items():
        payload = payload.replace(placeholder, value)
    return payload

def serialize_gr_command(**cmd):
    payload = cmd.pop('payload', None)
    cmd_str = ','.join(f'{k}={v}' for k, v in cmd.items())
    ans = []
    w = ans.append
    w(b'\033_G')
    w(cmd_str.encode('ascii'))

    if payload:
        placeholder_data = {
            # Define your placeholder mappings here
            '{placeholder}': 'value',
            # Add more mappings as needed
        }
        payload_str = replace_placeholders(payload.decode('utf-8'), placeholder_data)
        encoded_payload = payload_str.encode('utf-8')
        w(b';')
        w(encoded_payload)
    
    w(b'\033\\')
    return b''.join(ans)

def write_chunked(**cmd):
    data = standard_b64encode(cmd.pop('data'))
    while data:
        chunk, data = data[:4096], data[4096:]
        m = 1 if data else 0
        sys.stdout.buffer.write(serialize_gr_command(payload=chunk, m=m, **cmd))
        sys.stdout.flush()

def main(image_url):
    response = requests.get(image_url)
    if response.status_code == 200:
        write_chunked(a='T', f=100, data=response.content)
    else:
        print(f"Failed to fetch image from URL: {image_url}")

if __name__ == '__main__':
    image_url = sys.argv[1]  # Read the image URL from the command-line argument
    main(image_url)

Add C=1 to the graphics command then the cursor will not move when displaying the image. It's up to you to position the cursor correctly after that.

Hey I recognise you! Your the calibre guy, what are you doing here lol

Thanks for the help, I'll have a play and see what I can do :-)

UPDATE:

It doesn't seem to effect the lines breaks, I'm looking through documentation, it seems like r=1 did the trick. If I use c=1, it squishes the image, so I have to figure out how to get the width of the image and make c equal that width.
