E.g. you can take a 3x3 grid and asign black/white pixels for > each region to each ascii character: The tool that did that rendering of the logo looks at black and white pixels from a 4 tall and 2 wide grid. I've posted a perl script here that takes a grayscale image which has been already scaled 50% in height and tries to pick a single best character for each pixel. Below I've charted the input and output of the 4x2 method. Beware: it is long. (500+ lines, easily made thanks to perl's "format" command.) I'm working on another method that tries to assign characters based on a 2x2 grid black and white grid. It will again assume the image has been reduced in its Y-scale to match the font proportions. (I think this is a cleaner way than 2x1, 3x1, 4x2, etc, since it makes it easier to scale for fonts that are not exactly twice as tall as wide.) > For future enhancements in Jave's image2ascii tool, I consider writing > additional algorithms by > a) trying grey shades in a 2x3 or 3x2 raster > b) using the black/white methode with some ideas I have > > So now that I have put my cards on the table, what are your ideas and > experiences?
