This is for am animation >experement, im wanting to use ascii in a music video. You can't turn a ASCII into a VGA image (you CAN turn VGA into ASCII). If you are looking for some kind of morphing effect, there isn't a program that will do that for you. You'll have to do it with some kind of editing effects. You could always take the image, convert to ASCII, and then use some kind of morphing program to alternate between the two. Then again you may have to resort to animation using the conversion as a reference for the animators.

Hmm, I don't see why you can't make an image file which has characters in it in a monospaced font? That'd be an interesting project if I could code. :-/ -- CBM, PEZ, and TI-calc nut, Scout, Glider pilot, Helpdesk-person Email: vjo...@sci.fi, URL: http://www.sci.fi/~vjouppi/ GSM: +358-40-5679999, IRCNet: Jope "I see", said the blind man as he picked up his hammer and saw.

It's implemented as a script, so you could always write your own to do exactly what you want. -- Ilmari Karonen http://www.sci.fi/~iltzu/
