ruby-talk
1

Turn images on your hard drive or on the internet to asciiart...even
colorized asciiart.

New In This Version: *Verbose, Copy & Paste-able HTML output*.

In Code:

require 'asciiart'

a = AsciiArt.new("/Users/sschor/Desktop/uncle_larry.jpg")
#or
a = AsciiArt.new("

")
puts a.to_ascii_art
=> ...untold glory follows
#or
puts a.to_ascii_art(color: true)
=> ...now you're cooking with gas

puts a.to_ascii_art(color: true, format: 'html')
=> ...Oh no you din.

From The Command Line using the 'asciiart' executable:

   $ asciiart ~/Desktop/uncle_larry.jpg or even
      $ asciiart http://www.google.com/images/srpr/logo3w.png
      $ asciiart -h

Usage: asciiart [options] <path_or_url>
-w, --width WIDTH Width of the finished Ascii Art (Default: 100)
-f, --format [text/html] output format (Default: text)
-c, --color Switch to use colored terminal output (Default: false)
-i, --invert-chars Invert the character map. Depending on your terminal and
image this can make the image clearer (or a lot worse)
-v, --version Show AsciiArt version
-h, --help Show this message

Dependencies:
It relies on rmagick, so...you know...make sure your have imagemagick
installed.

Hey Reid.

I haven't had anyone else report this issue - would you be able to file a
ticket in github(https://github.com/eastmedia/asciiart/issues\) with a
detailed code snippet?

Please include the version of the gem (and make make sure you don't have
competing versions of the gem installed).

Thanks for the report,
Stephen

It looks like he is using Ruby 1.8 to run it, and that is the "new"
Hash syntax introduced in 1.9.
