Ascii art program

Ascii art program

alt.ascii-art · 13 messages · 19 Jun 1998 - 25 Nov 1998
I am kind of new in this Ascii art thing. I found an interesting
programm which converts greyscale gif to ascii art .txt's. the programm
is called asciiart.com or .exe. try a search engine. Does enyone know
another programm which does this work?


Thanks

You can use xv and save as xpm and open in emacs. It gives you one pixel
=> one ascii character. After that it is easy to do a "replace all" to
get the exact characters you want (for shading etc... the replace
function is started by typing 'Escape' followed by '%', and to get it to
do all characters and not just one you type '!'). Then you diddle
(change) the picture until it looks the way you want it to look (and you
usually need a lot of diddling before it looks decent).

[Yes, I know it is not the same OS, but you didn't say what you have so
I just assumed that it's the same as I have...  :P ]

ASCGIF.EXE and GIFSCI.EXE are both the same program with a different
name. Both reject 89a type GIFs and will only convert 87a GIFs.

In my opinion they make horrid conversions of GIFs like this one of the
NZ Flag:

Wonderful conversion ?  :-(

I've never had much success with GIF to Ascii convertors.

Isn't it counter productive that a software programs make ascii
art?  this art is outdated, aka not used for computer stuff
but is kewl, so is best hand made :)

It`s ASCIIART.EXE if it`s the one I`ve got, for Windows.

That`s the one that produced the output at the bottom of the MINIFAQ under
GIFscii

  uhhh... wait. let me make sure i've got this right. you think ascii art 
should be done *without* a computer?!? :)

  why hope computer aided is not brilliant tho? this seems sad. hope for
brilliance everywhere. hope to be overwhelmed by the brilliance yet remain
unjaded by it. hope to soar through the... uh. sorry. i got carried away. 

  just hope people don't get caught up in the 'new' and forget the
'brilliant' as is often the danger.

   The hand made is the hand made. It always will be best.
Computer aided art probably never (i hope) will be brilliant, 
but always (i hope) will be at least average. Here are some
examples, i generate using aaview. All graphics are created
without the default (ansi) dim (half bright) and bold (double 
bright) fonts to be compatible with ascii-art definition.


The original authors of aalib (core engine) are:
  Jan Hubicka (hub...@paru.cas.cz)
  Thomas A. K. Kjaer (tak...@daimi.aau.dk)
  Tim Newsome (nui...@cmu.edu)
  Kamil Toman (tom...@horac.ta.jcu.cz)  
The aaview is written by Jan Hubicka.

If you had read the newsgroup's FAQ, you would've found
plenty of links to such a program.  It is called "Figlet".

Check out:
