Open a bmp image to be converted 2. After adjusting the color, character set, proportion and other parameters, press the go button to convert. 3. After conversion, you can click "Original Picture", "Grid Picture" and "ASCII Picture" to browse the effects. 4. After conversion, two files, ascii.bmp and ascii.ans, are automatically generated in the program directory. 5. ascii.bmp is the converted rendering, which can be reprocessed with paint, etc. Then used as input to the program for secondary conversion, usually better conversion results can be achieved. 6. ascii.ans is the conversion result file. You can copy its content and publish it on bbs. You can also use ansieditor, Daluobo and other software to open it for further editing and processing. 7. Parameter description: The 16 color squares represent the colors used in the conversion. The more color choices, the slower the conversion speed. x rate, y rate: image ratio dx, dy: image offset 8. Character set description The system has reserved the following 4 character sets for conversion Single-byte characters Only single-byte characters such as abcd,..? are used during the conversion process If you only select the highlight color at this time, you can get an effect similar to bmp2txt. Triangular characters mainly use triangular blocks in the conversion process In the conversion process of color block characters, in addition to using triangle blocks, common color blocks such as More color blocks. In addition to using common color blocks, each converted color block also uses equal color blocks. Users can also set the characters themselves. Of course, the more characters you set, the slower the conversion speed will be. Precautions: 1. The current function of this software is not very strong and it only has good effects on images with simple shapes and colors. Therefore, it is best to simplify the image before conversion. 2. This software is written as an auxiliary tool for making asciiart. In actual production, various parameters need to be carefully adjusted to obtain a better prototype. And on the basis of this prototype, we can further process it into a better work. 3. Because the background on bbs is mostly black with white characters, while the usual images are with black characters on a white background. Please make sure to do some inversion processing or set the background of the original image to black before conversion. 4. A single-byte character corresponds to 7 pixels * 14 pixels on the bmp image A double-byte character corresponds to 14 pixels * 14 pixels on the bmp image 5. The software is in its infancy and I believe there are many bugs. If you encounter problems during use or have comments or suggestions about this software Please go to the national forwarding news group cn.bbs.literal.ascii art to speak or write to dntx@sina.com
