Maybe you would like the entire tutorial ? .. and if you plead and beg I might even consider updating it with more sections. 8< ----------------------------------------------------------------- >8 "How to draw ASCII" by Christian 'CeeJay' Jensen Website at http://CeeJay.dk (practicly never updated - I'm lazy) [Lines] Lines in general are made by putting characters with different "height" next to each other in a way that simulates a line. Most characters suitable for creating a line fall in 4 heightcategories. For some heights there are a choice between different characters. It's important to choose a character for your height with a form and position that seems to match the line. Suitable characters are : High : ` ' " Middle : - = Low : . , Bottom : _ You might think that ~ would be a good character too, but since ~ can be displayed very differently from system to system it is best not to use it when drawing lines Some of theese are best for lines slanting .. .. right : _,.-'" and some for slanting .. .. left : "`-._ And then there are / and \ and | .. all characters which forms restrict their usability to lines that closely resembles their shape. The best characthers are entirely a personal preference.
