Popular Post Gianni Posted November 16, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted November 16, 2018 (edited) "vintage" terminal This is a funny old style terminal simulator capable to understand and interpretate ANSI escape sequences. It allows printing of text in various colors and are also allowed styles like underline, italic, blink and flash You can print in any position of the screen by using some dedicated functions or by simply printing whole strings with embedded appropriate ANSI escape sequences. You can use it as a simil-terminal that fit within a whole window, or as an embeddable GUI control you can place within your GUI. Even if i've enjoyed on building this, I've to say that it has still some flaws that keep it very far from the "perfection". For example: it's quite slow in printing; shows visible flicker during the print and some others minor flaws, but I hope to receive suggestions on how to improve the whole thing To use this udf you need to save along with this also the stringsize.au3 script by @melba. You can get it from here.

Popular Post Gianni Posted January 1, 2019 Author Popular Post Share Posted January 1, 2019 (edited) I've revisited and modified a bit this funny toy. Added some ANSI color renditions (4, 8, 24 bit colors allowed), Added possibility to print big letters using Figlet-Fonts, and also added a script that allows you to quickly 'grab' ascii-arts, (copied from a web page for example) and past into your script in the form of a variable so that can be easily printed on the 'terminal'. (still presence of some flaws) The new stuff is in the vdt folder (I will port asap also the example from the first post to this zip) hope you have fun and ... happy new year everybody! vdt.zip Edited September 21, 2019 by Chimp updated link to image argumentum, Skeletor, BinaryBrother and 2 others 4 1 Chimp small minds discuss people average minds discuss events great minds discuss ideas.... and use AutoIt....
