The program has a lot of text import functions. You could for
example import a text file as spiral. Nice for emails ;)
AscII 2 Pic: Co
nverts each characte
r into a pixel and shows
the graphic as (gray tones)
a bitmap in a new window. Her
e the size of the picture can be
changed and some color effects ca
n be used. With 'save' the picture
is saved as (IBM) bitmap into a fil
e. With 'Close' the window is closed
and you return to the ASCII Editor.
With large ASCII pictures the calcula
tion of the pixel representation can t
ake some time. Pic 2 AscII: Converts
a bitmap in an ASCII picture. This fu
nction offers no options and should be
used with caution . The bitmap become
s on a scale 1:1 (Pixel:Char.) convert
ed and therefore only smaller pictures
should be used. Al ternat
ively to this funct
ion y ou can use a
bett er pr ogram
for the co nvers
ion. The p rogram 'ASC
II Pi c' offe rs more extens
ive options. Pi c2Text: Hereby i
s a text file re presented in for
m of a given grap hic. Therefore a
bitmap and a tex t file must be s
elected first. O n the bitmap on
ly two colours a re differentiat
ed: white (inp ut fie ld) and
not white (text)
. White pixels ar
e set according
to the character
in the input fie
ld (left beside).
' Space' is
d e
fault .
AscII 2 Pi
The program can convert pictures to ASCII art (greyscaled),
ASCII art to pictures... The above example shows a special
functions: You could show a text in form of picture.
