[ILUG] Ascii picture manipulation?

[Brady, Padraig]

Oh what's it called... oh yes, vi :-)
Seriously though it wouldn't be possible
to manipulate an ascii "image" in any
automatic way. You could just do modifications
using a text editor. If you want tools to
help create ascii art then try the following:
(It's been a long time since I looked at any of
these, so sorry if the links are broken etc.)

For text->various large fonts in ascii try:

for raster->ascii conversion progs try:
ftp://ftp.wwa.com/pub/Scarecrow/Gifscii
Note you will probably have to fiddle slightly
with the raster first and then ascii subsequently
to get an adequate result.

For ascii painting programs try:
http://www.drizzle.com/~goldbay/joeh/AsciiDraw.html
http://www.brillianet.com/cgi-bin/download.cgi?/programming/assembly/source_
code/ascii-artpad.zip

Then ANSI art is a whole different kettle of
fish, but I presume that's of no interest?

Padraig.
