Add the ability to have some text printed next to the image

[Pasquale-Perilli]

Some pictures that we print through viu would be suited to have text to the right.

Say for example, I have this picture being printed by Viu:

If I wanted to have text next to it, I think I would issue a command similar to this:

viu --width 10 --height 10 $HOME/Pictures/christmas-balls.png --text "Merry Christmas and happy new year"

Which would result in some text to the right of the image:

I sincerely hope this is doable. It would be amazing!

If it helps any, I had the same issue and developed hcat for this exact purpose! It's public domain; just grab it and throw it somewhere in your PATH. It doesn't do vertical alignment, but I'm sure that could be patched in if you think it helps any.

(It works nicely with figlet and lolcat in my terminal setup :)
