FIGlet is a computer program that generates text banners, in a variety of typefaces, composed of letters made up of conglomerations of smaller ASCII characters (see ASCII art). The name derives from "Frank, Ian and Glenn's letters". [4]
FIG Script is a typeface designed by Eric Olson in 2002 for Process Type Foundry.. The name FIG is an acronym for "Frank (Sheeran), Ian (Chai), and Glenn (Chappell) who collaborated in the development of the FIGlet computer program developed to generate text banners, in a variety of typefaces, composed of letters made up of arrangements of smaller ASCII characters.
The banner program on Unix and Unix-like operating systems outputs a large ASCII art version of the text that is supplied to it as its program arguments. One use of the command is to create highly visible separator pages for print jobs .
Box-drawing characters, also known as line-drawing characters, are a form of semigraphics widely used in text user interfaces to draw various geometric frames and boxes. These characters are characterized by being designed to be connected horizontally and/or vertically with adjacent characters, which requires proper alignment.
An ASCII comic is a form of webcomic which uses ASCII text to create images. In place of images in a regular comic, ASCII art is used, with the text or dialog usually placed underneath. [11] During the 1990s, graphical browsing and variable-width fonts became increasingly popular, leading to a decline in ASCII art.
AAlib is a software library which allows applications to automatically convert still and moving images into ASCII art. It was released by Jan Hubicka as part of the BBdemo project in 1997. It was released by Jan Hubicka as part of the BBdemo project in 1997.
An early example is the Unix banner program which created very large printable text banners out of ASCII characters in some Unix variants. Programs were available to convert images to ASCII art that when printed large enough and viewed sufficiently far away, appeared to be smoothly shaded.
The block is designed to mirror ASCII. It was originally intended for language tags, but has now been repurposed as emoji modifiers, specifically for region flags. It was originally intended for language tags, but has now been repurposed as emoji modifiers, specifically for region flags.
