Hi,
a new release candidate RC2 of the upcoming JavE 6.0 Ascii-Art Editor is
now available for download:
http://www.jave.de/developer/milestone6rc2.html
Highlights since 6.0RC1:
- Brushed up the clipart dialogs and fixed some bugs there.
http://www.jave.de/developer/60rc2_clipart.png
- Brushed up the camelizer dialog.
http://www.jave.de/developer/60rc2_camelizer.png
- New export dialog (Menu "File" > "Export..." and in the toolbar)
combining the old "export result" and "ascii2gif" dialogs.
http://www.jave.de/developer/60rc2_export.png
- Decreased memory usage for animated GIF export. So there should be no
more OutOfMemoryErrors when exporting large animations.
- Bugfix: CPU consumption was high when moving the mouse on the screen.
And there are lots of bugfixes and minor Features. For a complete list
of changes have a look at the download site:

Hi Markus (cc'ing this to a.a-a too in case someone else wants to join in the discussion)
I tested the new RC2 and got an exception while using the fill tool
I was in pattern mode and used match mode Any (but it also happens with match mode Any +
diagonal)
java.lang.NullPointerException

I also noticed slowdowns while using the Arc Generic tool.
To recreate :
1) Choose Arc Generic tool
2) Make two points and keep the left mousebutton pressed
3) Move the mouse back and forth between the two points
4) Notice the speed of the redraw - it's fast.
5) Then move the mouse below the lowest point and back and forth
6) Then move the mouse above the highest point and back and forth
7) Notice the speed is slow and it stays slow even if you go back to making small arcs
like in step 3
Here's a drawing I did to illustrate what I did.
I used the same two points to draw several arcs .. and then I added pupils and eyebrows
for comedic effect

I also thought of some nifty features.
The Fill tool's pattern part could have a live preview of the pattern as it was edited.
You already show a live preview when you Choose a pattern.
The pattern editor should allow you to save your own patterns.
The default pattern is not available for me to Choose again if I edit it.
BTW I improved it - Here is a better honeycomb pattern :

some bonus patterns :

something similar :

Also I think I can improve upon the circles in the Elipse Algorithmic tool.
And then maybe from studying my improved circles we can formulate a better algorithm for
circles.
And if we can't at least we can hardcode better circles into JavE
I tried my hand at the 13 x 7 circle

Hello CeeJay, many thanks for the bug reports etc. I have fixed both of the bugs and uploaded a new integration build containing the bug fixes: http://www.jave.de/developer/jave_6.0_i20090403.zip > java.lang.NullPointerException > at > de.jave.jave.algorithm.fill.FillAlgorithm.fillPattern(FillAlgorithm.java:55) > > at de.jave.jave.tool.fill.FillTool.mousePressed(FillTool.java:94) Good catch!

Hi Markus >> I also thought of some nifty features. > > That's just like you :-) I'm work as an IT-consultant and I'm currently doing software testing for Cisco. My boss tells me the same thing. I have the highest number of feature requests of the testers in the QA dept. :) >> The Fill tool's pattern part could have a live preview of the pattern >> as it was edited. >> You already show a live preview when you Choose a pattern. > > Right.

It sounds like you want to use the editable area to preview in. I was suggesting two textareas .. one to edit in and one with a preview. >> The pattern editor should allow you to save your own patterns. > > Isn't than what happens when hitting the "Add..." button?

That would make it easier to understand what the buttons do I think. >> Also I think I can improve upon the circles in the Elipse Algorithmic >> tool. > > It is very hard to improve the existing algorithm...

Though looking at it I still think it's possible to make some algorithm improvements. For example when you go / / ; | | .. the ; should be a : Only use ; if the line/shape continues to the south west and there are no characters in S or SE The same applies to , The characters , ; and ` slants diagonally and are best used for diagonal lines. . , / \ / \ : : and not ; ; : ; : ; \ / \ / ' ` Also don't do | | | | | | instead do | `. | `. | | or | | `. | `. |

I like your other stylized lines , especially the light first one, which I think also fits in nicely with the style that the algorithmic tools use. I've used : to lighten lines , but didn't think of using ! , which is halfway between | and : Lighten the line work well when you can't exactly hit the angle with any of the characters. Then you can at least make that part less dominant. Another trick is to omit character all together like this : .---. ' ` | | . , `---' instead of _.---._ .' `. | | `._ _,' `---' The algorithmic tool currently draws a 11 x 5 ellipse like this : ,-----. / \ ( ) \ / `-----' You are welcome to help come up with better ideas for ellipses. My current unfinished ellipses look like this : 3 5 7 9 11 13 . ,-. ,---. ,-----. ,-------. ,---------. 3 ( ) ( ) ( ) ( ) ( ) ( ) ' `-' `---' `-----' `-------' `---------' . ,-. ,-. ,-. .---. .---. ,-----. : : ; : .' `. / \ ' ` ' ` ,' `. 5 | | | | | | ( ) | | | | ( ) : ; : ; `. ,' \ / . , . , `. ,' ' `-' `-' `-' `---' `---' `-----' ,-. _.---._ ' ` .' `. | | | | . , `._ _,' `-' `---' . . ,-. ,-. ,---. ,-----. : : / \ / \ ,' `. / \ / \ | | : : : : : : / \ / \ 7 | | | | | | | | ( ) ( ) | | : ; : ; : ; \ / \ / : ; \ / \ / `. ,' \ / \ / ' ' `-' `-' `---' `-----' . . ,-. ,-. ,---. .---. : : / \ : : / \ / \ ,' `. | | : : . . / \ / \ / \ | | | | : : : : ; : : : 9 | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | : ; : ; : ; : ; | | : ; ` ' \ / \ / \ / : ; \ / : ; \ / \ / `. ,' ' ' `-' `-' `---' '---' . . . ,-. ,-. ,---. ; : / \ / \ / \ ,' `. / \ | | ; : / \ / \ ; : / \ | | | | ; : . . . . / \ | | | | | | : : ; : ; : 11 | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | : : : ; : ; | | | | : ; ' ' ' ' \ / | | : ; \ / \ / : ; \ / : ; \ / \ / \ / `. ,' \ / ' ' ' `-' `-' `---' . . . ,-. ,-. ,---. ; : ; : / \ / \ / \ / \ | | . . / \ ; : / \ / \ | | ; : ; : ; : / \ / \ 13 | | | | | | ; : ; : ; : | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | : ; : ; : ; | | : ; : ; : ; \ / \ / | | ' ' \ / : ; \ / \ / : ; : ; \ / \ / \ / \ / ' ' ' `-' `-' `---' I started by use Jave to draw the ellipses and then I'm slowly reworking them to be more round like ellipses and less like hexagons

I think this will waste too much space - the tool options dialog should be small. I came up with a different idea: You can now toggle between preview and edit by double clicking the textarea: http://www.jave.de/developer/jave_6.0_i20090418.zip >>> The pattern editor should allow you to save your own patterns. >> >> Isn't than what happens when hitting the "Add..." button?

You are right. I replaced the text buttons by buttons with icons. Regards, Markus PS: I will have a look at integrating your ellipses later.

I'll also have a look at updating the Sun of Lines for you. Especially because the CeeJay1 and 2 style are mixed up .. The thin looking lines should be in the same style and the bolder looking lines should have their own style. Right now it's a mix. It probably my fault though .. I drew the original sun with both styles and didn't specify how they matched up. BTW I noticed a bug with the image2ascii tool. Some of the methods get stuck in the middle of conversion. Try converting javeicon.bmp using edge detection with high resolution turned on. It will be stuck forever at 67%. Other conversion method does something similar. Sometimes I only see this bug at certain output text widths. It seems to happen often with a narrow output width.

It has been burried in headers for at least 10 years and I think it might be at least 20 years old from what I have found in looking it up in the past. I don't think they are a thief.

I did a google on it and it looks like someone claimed it was more than 18 years old in 2001. I couldn't find any record of the original creator of the art. I still believe the ASCII-art thieves are scumbags, though. <web...@polaris.net> may not be a thief, but I highly doubt they created the original work.

She keeps popping up >everywhere (which is why I set my chat posting limits after her). Thank you for providing that info. It appears that Mike did issue a copyright notice on the original, which indicates she is now 17 years old... :-P http://artscene.textfiles.com/asciiart/meriday "Meriday in the Morning" Copyright 1992 by Mike Jittlov (& Meriday too!) Perhaps Eli the Bearded <*@eli.users.panix.com> could pass that along to <web...@polaris.net> and suggest that he apply the authors name and copyright notice to the headers. I can understand anyone claiming fair use to the image, but should someone attempt to use it commercially (or for-profit), they would be in violation of copyright laws.

I fixed that problem (and others) in the new integration build: http://www.jave.de/developer/jave_6.0_i20090501.zip Also I did a lot of cleanup under the hood. This little feature might be very interesting for you: The configuration for the internal filter algorithm is no longer hard coded. There are now configuration files in the folder config/filter/. The internal filter algorithm is being used by many tools, e.g. the generic line tool. The most important configuration file is lineartcleaner.filter, since it contains filter rules for cleaning up line art. This is the second and last step in the algorithms (the first step is already configurable in the file config/convert.txt). So if you want to, you can add new rules, e.g. to get rid of lines like that | | | | or other artifacts in the output of the generic tools in line style mode. All you have to do, is identify the problems, come up with a filter rule and add it to the configuration file. The file that has to be extended is /config/filter/lineartcleaner.filter and there is a description of its syntax in /config/filter/readme.txt. Regards, Markus
