# Usage: txt_to_image.sh <input_text_file> [resolution] [output_prefix]

Usage: $0 <input_text_file> [resolution] [output_prefix]

Arguments:
    input_text_file Path to the input text file (required)
    resolution      Target resolution in WIDTHxHEIGHT format (default: ${DEFAULT_RESOLUTION})
    output_prefix   Prefix for output image files (default: <input_filename>)

Examples:
    $0 notes.txt
    $0 notes.txt 640x480
    $0 notes.txt 320x240 output

Note: Requires ImageMagick (magick or convert command)
