Bitmap2AscII

[wakillon]

Bitmap2AscII use Lucida Console font with a size set to 8, so Windows 8/8.1 users need to change their notepad font and size for get a correct display.

Image Rescale slider is only available when saving as image.

A click on the "PreviewEdit" open AscII string in Notepad.

You can save as Text, Html or Image (add the extension you want)

Each setting change is immediately applied.

 

Downloads available in the download section

 

Hope you like it !

I like it, too!  

 

My suggestions

1. larger preview size of both picture controls
2. source image info
3. real time show of the slider values when moving the slider incl. reset option for each slider instead of whole settings
4. option to scale the original image when original bitmap is too large
5. option for colorized char when saving as html
6. create ASCII animation using GIF images

Regading the About intro - it looks very nice, great effect but the window is too small. If you could double the width it would look much better.

Love it! Brings back memories of the dot matrix printer era (for those of you too young to remember, this was just after the dinosaurs were wiped out)....

​I agree with you

The problem is GDI is too slow.

With a higher size, text move will be jerky !

​Thanks, but i'm not so old !

I'm glad to hear it.

​must I conclude that you are a venerable ancestor ? 

[RTFC]

Well, let me put it this way: I'm never happier than when I'm peeling a banana with my toes. If you feel the same way, we may be distant cousins in evolutionary terms.

And apologies for going off-topic. I'll go play some more with your script now...

To set  a ESC hotkey isn't good because when I press the ESC key to close another app then this app also closes.

Suggestion:

HotKeySet('{ESC}', 'Hotkey')

Func Hotkey()
    If WinActive($hGui) Then _Exit
EndFunc

Ha. Love it

UEZ & wakillon,

To set  a ESC hotkey isn't good because when I press the ESC key to close another app then this app also closes

That is why GUISetAccelerators was added to the language.

The first ASCII "Art"

[trancexx]

wakillon, is there any special reason why you have this line of code:

$iColor = '0x' & Hex ( DllStructGetData ( $tPixel, 1, $iRowOffset + $iX ), 6 )

...written like that? Why wouldn't that be simply:

$iColor = DllStructGetData ( $tPixel, 1, $iRowOffset + $iX )

I've seen others doing that too. I have no clue why.

Btw, the other day when I saw you posted this and how you convert the image, I tried to do the same thing with video to see if I could make fluent ASCII art output out of it. If you are interested see the result at https://trancexx.tk/websockets/ (click "Play").
It's available only when I'm on my comp (personal server) and I use websocket to play animation.

Thanks for sharing.

​Yes you are right, it will be changed in the next update.

Thanks.

​You are right, no need to convert data in hex format.

I have take a look to your AscII Art Video and recognized parts of "Le Cinquième Élément" of Luc Besson.

Do you used some batch converter ?

For sure it would take more time, but may be if you convert image by image (with each his own appropriate settings), quality will be improved.

Nice try ! 

A quand la sortie en salle ?
