viu: Render an image with a transparent background.

$ viu -t ${filename}

try on your machine

The command "viu -t ${filename}" opens and displays an image file specified by the variable "filename" using the "viu" command.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

"viu": It is a command-line utility used to display images in the terminal. It supports many image formats and can display them as ASCII art or in full color.
"-t": It is an option or flag that stands for "truecolor" mode. It enables the display of images in full color if the terminal supports it. Without this option, images may be displayed in ASCII art or limited color mode.
"${filename}": It is a variable that holds the name and path of the image file you want to open and display. The exact value of the variable would be provided when executing the command.

By running this command, the specified image file will be opened using "viu" in truecolor mode, allowing you to view the image in its full color.
