ASCII-Art Pro 4.2.5

[Omikronman]

This is my ASCII-art converter for the Atari ST. It transforms a monochrome picture in doodle format to a ASCII-art picture. The original lineart example has been drawn by a girlfriend of me. Unfortunately the insert of all sorts of image paste services files fails.

i just got done using some omikron yesterday /////no art , just midi.

Hi charles,

the source code is included.

How it works: The CORE1/2.PRG looks for the best character that matches each part of the original picture. There are several options included to get different results. You can use the text styles "bold" and "light" in addition.

Greetings ^^

Nice work Oman! Those pics are gnarly!

What file format does finalize.prg output to? My chances of ever owning a TOS machine with a 1280 x 800 screen are very slim.

Hello StickHead,

an option to save a real ASCII-picture is included now.

Yes, xbios function 'scrdmp' will invoke a screen dump with the built in hardware one. However it seems to be limited to ST modes only according to the documentation I have.

Somewhere I have a program that does the opposite that I wrote a long time ago. I reads ascii art as text, you tell it the char width and height in pixels. It then analyzes the font and assigns a gray scale weight to each character and then writes out a smaller pixel based image in targa format.

I made a gui for my program today.

[techie_alison]

Goodness me! What is that? Is that a naked lady?

[Omikronman]

The naked lady was originally named to "Mermaid Tattoo". It was drawn by a girl-friend of me.

[techie_alison]

Well it's all super cool I'll say that.

It's made me sit here trying to find an ascii-art generator to have on my Unix box when I log in at the text console.

Nice style buttons on the GUI

It is saving real ascii files now in addition to a doodle picture:

Tonight I released ASCII-Art Pro 3.4. I was able to improve the performance of my ASCII-art program. A picture can now be calculated up to 35 % faster by testing the pixles more quickly. Special thanks for their tips go to BoNuS, Nyh and lp. :)

[BoNuS]

Looking foor the demo I found another of you productions..

(see tube movie link too)

This one would be nice to finish / update

Edit 2015-07-02: ASCII-Art Pro 4.2.9 has been released today. The new version hopefully gets some better results in the +20 mode but won´t be able to make the test.doo that way.
