Displaying pixel-perfect images on a thermal printer.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Developing
|
|
|
|
After cloning the repo, run `meta/build-all` once. Some parts of the project use
|
|
files from other parts of the project (e.g. the thermal printer includes the
|
|
typst plugin wasm file in its binary). The build script produces these
|
|
intermediate artifacts.
|
|
|
|
