Has anybody seen an ASCII art like this?

Hi all,
I need your help. I have found a very *strange* site with a fantastic
ASCII art (http://www.lostinspace.de/). Does anybody know, wich
application could convert a picture like this?

regards

looks like some javascript source code with a picture layd over it...
i thinnk it could be made by just taking any source wich has enough
infomation to fill up a page and then colouring the characters with the
colour wich is derived from an overlay picture..

no programs seem wich could do such a thing.... just write it yourself

Hehehe, good idea. But I think it takes a few years. LOL

yeah, a LOT of years!

Despite it, that ascii is a great piece of "work", and I wonder what program
could do such a thing...

 GIMP does this. The GNU Image Manipulation Program.  You can get it
from <http://www.gimp.org/> or, for the windows-users, from
<http://www.gimp.org/win32/>.  The thing is called Save as COLORHTML.
One I have done for demonstration purposes is at

Sounds like what png2html would do... one should be able to find it via
freshmeat.net or something like that.

I don't know whether there's a Wintendo version, though ;-))

Hi all,
it seems to be a very helpfull newsgroup ;-) Thanks a lot for support.

Wow, that's cool.

Still, that's not ASCII art, it's HTML art. 

I'd say it could be done in about a page or two of C code, if you want
to write a photoshop plug-in.  Myself, I'd write it in Objective-C, and
make it a TIFFany plug-in.

I've got a mac so I just take a pic of the screen
and open it in a photo editing program .

Hmm I think those pics are made with Email Effects. Haven't tried it myself,
but someone told me a long time ago. Maybe I'm wrong.

Email Effects doesn't do color, that is probably Meph's program, it makes color
HTML out of pictures.

png2html or somesuch does this kind of conversion, too.

Should be listed on freshmeat (http://freshmeat.net).

If you really want to produce brilliant ASCI art why not use CAD? I am not
an artist but I use CAD and it can give you any type of text, any size of
text, bold and italic text, English or foreign text, text of any colour, and
at any spacing even overlaping, and text at any angle. All these features
and easily edited too!

Is this the real way forward for an ASCI Artist?

That's not what Ascii is about.. It's about everyone with a text terminal
being able to see what you've created. That's why the character set is
limited, and why we only use fixed width fonts.

>Is this the real way forward for an ASCI Artist?

I don't think so. Maybe for an artist who wants to venture towards Ascii it
might.

That seems to be a great shame to me, a bit like wanting to paint with both
hands missing?

It is also a shame because I thought for a brief while that I had caught the
ASCII art bug, but now you tell me I have not!

Perhaps I shall continue with my own newly discovered form of art, and call
it Super-Ascii-Art.

Oh, if you like to create such art, by all means do.  It's not the
same as ASCII art, but that doesn't mean it's any less worthy as an
artform.  They're two different things, like painting and photography.

Just accept that it isn't what this newsgroup is about.

No no.. It's just more of a challenge if you have some limitations.

It seems you've been inspired to create something completely different.

Maybe not Super-Ascii-Art, but something more along the lines of "Art with
letters".

CAD programs don't have anything to do with ASCII.. Once you put the letters
into the picture, they're converted into vectors and beziers.. No longer
ASCII.

What you're reading now is ASCII, as all the characters are represented by a
predefined byte. In your Cad program, you can't necessarily take a look at the
hex dump of the file and expect to find anything meaningful or human-readable.

Don't feel offended.. You've discovered something new while we're sticking to
something old we've become to like.

That is a very well put point of view Ville.
Just a couple of small comments:- My OCR software reads Cad Text, Book Text
and even Your Text, I therefore consider all of them to be text in this the
computer age. If you were to agree that ASCII is only true if constructed
using a manual typewriter or the like then I would be in complete agreement
with your philosophy. Otherwise, progress has already taken hold and there
will be no stopping it, however painful this may be!
The rest is not worth debating.

Ah, Ascii is just a way of representing text. Ascii art is art created with
text that conforms to the Ascii standard. This means that there are
limitations on the character set.

The limitation on text placement is introduced by the character based
terminal, and the fixed width font is heritage from the older days when those
terminals were common and proportional fonts weren't common with computers
yet. Fixed width is also a necessity for easy portability of Ascii Art. This
way it can be viewed with any terminal or line printer that conforms to the
Ascii spec, and has a fixed width font.

A book might at some time been in Ascii format when the author's word
processor saved it to disk, but when it's a book, it's in print and no longer
ascii in that sense.

Ascii (American Standard Code for Information Interchange) is just a standard
that describes how certain 7-bit numbers are translated to characters in
computer terminals.

Hehe, don't get me wrong. I have nothing against people doing modern art with
text.. Ascii art on the other hand is what I described before. We're here for
the challenge.

oh, ps. it's really ASCII but it's a long acronym so I prefer to capitalize
only the first letter, which is the Wrong Way of doing these things.. :-)

ObAscii

 

Ascii code 0x20 (the Space character :-)

ASCII by definition cannot be created on a manual typewriter.  ASCII is not
just text and it HAS to be from the ASCII Chart.  There is no point arguing
the fact as it is a FACT so opening your mind will make no difference unless
the ASCII chart is changed by the standards authorities involved.

Sometimes I'm really glad that many of Germany's mayor Newsservers
                                                 ^^^^^
   That would be major. Shouldn't post before I've had a cup of
   tea/coffee...

implemented a passive UDP (pathexclude) against post.usenet.com about
half a year ago...

They still got those 10000-line spam-banners at the end of "their" posts?

Apart from that: IMHO a post-only newsserver is about as useful as
write-only memory... 

Tilman, f'up2 /me 'cause it really isn't OnT here...
