Ascii-art to include drawings and animations made by signs included in the ASCII character set. Used to draw characters directly accessible from a standard PC keyboard, except that such accented characters specific to that language. Ascii-art images are mostly composed of outlines. Filled ascii-artists are rarer. Here is an example ascii-art:

It should also be distinguished from ascii-art ansi-art. Drawings and animations belong to the second music 馃檪 distinguished above all the use of codes ansi control. Their use allows you to create animations and such use of color. Ansi-artists usually are based on the expanded (in relation to ASCII) character set. Such work should not be sent to the great-a.

    4th What will be the ASCII character set? ASCII (American Standard Code called for Information Interchange) is a system in which all large and small letters, digits, punctuation marks and special characters have been assigned numbers from 0 to 127 The main board contains 128 ASCII characters. Extended ASCII code of characters ranging from 128 to 255 Characters outside the base plate are used to denote mathematical symbols, simple graphics and a few characters special, for example, can also define the Polish national characters.

CR and LF are used to transition to a new line and set cursor to the beginning. CR and LF on Windows are inserted by pressing Enter key and are not visible in most editors. In the drawings ascii not use any other control codes (with the numbers code: 0-31) in addition to CR and LF! For example, the use of tabs, which in any editor may have a different length can cause the drawings will be illegible. The exception is the DEL – whose effect is visible fairly quickly after pressing. 馃檪 To facilitate all of the standard ASCII table: [Column: 10 = 16 = decimal code, hexadecimal code symbol ASCII character =] ___________________________________________________________________ ” /--.._________________________________________________________..--' @ { [ ASCII Table ] } ___________________________________________________________________/ | 10 16 sign | 10 16 mark | 10 16 mark | 10 16 sign | :_______________!________________!________________!_______________| | 0 0 NUL | 32 20 | 64 40 @ | 96 60 | | 1 1 SOH | 33 21 ! | 65 41 A | 97 61 a | | 2 2 STX | 34 22 ” | 66 42 B | 98 62 b | | 3 3 ETX | 35 23 # | 67 43 C | 99 63 c | | 4 4 EOT | 36 24 $ | 68 44 D | 100 64 d | | 5 5 ENQ | 37 25 % | 69 45 E | 101 65 e | | 6 6 ACK | 38 26 & | 70 46 F | 102 66 f | | 7 7 BEL | 39 27 ‘ | 71 47 G | 103 67 g | | 8 8 BS | 40 28 ( | 72 48 H | 104 68 h | | 9 9 TAB | 41 29 ) | 73 49 I | 105 69 i | | 10 a LF | 42 2a * | 74 4a J | 106 6a j | | 11 b VT | 43 2b + | 75 4b K | 107 6b k | | 12 c FF | 44 2c , | 76 4c L | 108 6c l | | 13 d CR | 45 2d – | 77 4d M | 109 6d m | | 14 e SO | 46 2e . | 78 4e N | 110 6e n | | 15 f SI | 47 2f / | 79 4f O | 111 6f o | | 16 10 DLE | 48 30 0 | 80 50 P | 112 70 p | | 17 11 DC1 | 49 31 1 | 81 51 Q | 113 71 q | | 18 12 DC2 | 50 32 2 | 82 52 R | 114 72 r | | 19 13 DC3 | 51 33 3 | 83 53 S | 115 73 s | | 20 14 DC4 | 52 34 4 | 84 54 T | 116 74 t | | 21 15 NAK | 53 35 5 | 85 55 U | 117 75 u | | 22 16 SYN | 54 36 6 | 86 56 V | 118 76 v | | 23 17 ETB | 55 37 7 | 87 57 W | 119 77 w | | 24 18 CAN | 56 38 8 | 88 58 X | 120 78 x | | 25 19 EM | 57 39 9 | 89 59 Y | 121 79 y | | 26 1a SUB | 58 3a : | 90 5a Z | 122 7a z | | 27 1b ESC | 59 3b ; | 91 5b [ | 123 7b { | | 28 1c FS | 60 3c < | 92 5c | 124 7c | | | 29 1d GS | 61 3d = | 93 5d ] | 125 7d } | | 30 1e RS | 62 3e > | 94 5e ^ | 126 7e ~ | | 31 1f US | 63 3f ? | 95 5f _ | 127 7f DEL | .’-._____________!________________!________________!_____________.-‘. / `-._________________________________________________________________.-‘ 5th In letters to the great-and instead of pictures I run over dots, dashes, and other stamps. What to do? To correctly view ascii-art images should have a well-configured Newsreader, which is set:
    • Disproportionate font
    • Automatic text wrapping – disabled or set to wrap text after the example 100 characters
    Automatic text wrapping (and drawings ascii-art) is a common problem when viewing the drawings, the line length exceeds the declared in setting the number of characters (in OE default: 72). The result is “Shredded” ascii-artists, which can not be viewed. The solution is wrap setting the example, 100 or more characters (up to OE 132). Information about the configuration of Outlook Express and type of disproportionate fonts, see the answers to questions: 6 How to configure Outlook Express to read and send messages to great-a? and 7 In what font the best ascii-art watch? 6th How to configure Outlook Express to read and send messages to great-a?

    • Format send messages to newsgroups Tools -> Options -> Send -> where “format to send to groups news “select” Plain Text “. Tools -> Options -> Send -> click “Settings plain text ..” -> MIME format, the site to select the encoding: “None”.
    • Encoding Tools -> Options -> Send -> button: “International Settings …” -> Choose: “Central European (ISO)”. Tools -> Options -> Send -> click “Settings plain text …” -> Select “Allow 8-bit characters in headers” (this allows proper encoding of Polish characters in message headers). Tools -> Options -> Reading -> Fonts -> encoding: “Central Europe (ISO) “. Tools -> Options -> Reading -> “International Settings …” -> “Central European (ISO)”.
    • Breaking lines Tools -> Options -> Send -> click “Settings plain text ..” -> Automatically wrap text at: [here enter a number greater than 72; np.100] signs.
    • Repair tricks p?atanych by OE Tools -> Options -> Send -> button: “International Settings …” -> Check “When replying to message always use English headers “(insert cause” Re: “before the news of which answer, instead of the cumbersome and multiply fond of the “Re:”)
    After making these changes, make sure the OE sends and displays correctly by sending test messages to a group pl.test letter. 7th In what font is best viewed ascii-art? To properly view ascii-art use a monospaced font. To check whether such a use, compare the length of the following lines:

    8th Why in ascii-art does not use proportional fonts? Ascii-artists have been invented to be able to watch them on any machine, and for any system. Not every system has a font type ‘Arial’ or ‘Sans serif’, but everybody has a fixed-width font character. Ascii-artists made in monospaced font looks like regardless of the font used to watch this type. In the case of fonts drawings will be proportional to vary strongly, and there is no guarantee that anyone at all properly watch the figure! Actually, it is not on it any chance … 馃檪

    Some characters in different fonts can vary in size, shape and distribution to others. They are: ‘(Apostrophe) – may lean to the right or stand upright ^ (Caret) – has a different shape and size ~ (Tilde) – can occur at the middle or top of the font I (and large) – a straight line, or with stops at the ends, instead of I can use a smooth straight line: |

    (Hash) – has a different size

    $ (Dollar) – also has a different size

And definitely should be proud of the new drawing on the group pl.rec.ascii-art! 12th How to choose a signature? Each drawing, which will create the sign. A signature may be the initials author picture associated with your name, nickname, nickname or other should, however, limit the length of the signature to around 4 characters. The longer the signature is inconvenient to use, especially for the determination of small drawings. The most signatures are used 2-3 character. The signature should not include Polish letters and other characters prohibited in aa, and should not be the same signature of the creative community ascii-art! To check if we choose the signature is not occupied by another artist see the list of authors should be ascii (see point: 15 How do I know Who is the author of the drawing?) Description of characters used and prohibited in AA, see: 4 What makes the ASCII character set?

    13th Is the picture drawn by the “Jave” is the ascii-art? “Jave” (www.jave.de) is a program quite controversial. It has a whole bunch of options greatly facilitate the drawing:
    • Allows for any moving parts of the image (copy block),
    • Have to paint over a large field,
    • Is easier for drawing lines, rectangles, curves, etc.
    • Possibility to turn on / off the grid,
    • Quickly change the background and font colors (‘black on white’, ‘white on black’ ‘Black on gray’),
    • Quickly change the font defined,
    • Ensure that the Article contains valid characters,
    • Automatically remove extra spaces when writing,
    • Change “working screen” at any time and quickly, without adding additional spaces for each line
    • Built-in figlet,
    • Possibility to create new fonts ?atwego figletowych. You do not need to know any secrets files. FLF, simply create each letter and export. It gives him a huge advantage over other known editors.
    People help each other in draw lines, rectangle, curve, or the entire drawing program “Jave”, sometimes adding the word “java” with his own signature, thus indicating the use of the “boosters”, eg: 
    [[code]]czoxODpcIiAgLHhYWFh4LAouLy8vL3wuClwiO3tbJiomXX0=[[/code]]
    ///._ _. //( @ @ ) //| J //| "'" – /"'"‘ `—‘ fsc/jave Sometimes, and without a claim may be noted that the figure did not come only “Out of hand.” This is shown inter alia by different little matching strange characters such that few others in their place would look a lot better. The “Jave” has another tempting option for lazy artists lurking. It is the watermark, which is able to insert the image in the background. As a result, you can see exactly lines, edges and shapes, which helps in drawing, but can “kill” creativity of the artist. Believes that the picture is drawn under the “Jave” is the ascii-art or not, are divided. A group of people think that ASCII art is the picture drawn Only using a text editor, and some allow the use of ‘Javnych’ techniques for creating arts. Discussions to resolve this issue is still alive, we invite you to a great-:) .- I do not think the editor is important, but the figure included in the soul! _@” 14th How to properly send the drawing ascii-art/list the group?

    • Automatic text wrapping – disabled or set to wrap text after the example 100 characters
    If you do not know how to configure your OE reader and you 馃檪 see the answer to Question 6 How to configure Outlook Express to reading and sending letters to the great-a? If you are not sure if I sent you a picture will be fine visible on the group you can always test this by sending the image to the group pl.test. This group is used to perform tests and no one will have not to your claim. In giving the group observe netiquette ( www.netykieta.prv.pl or www.pg.gda.pl/ ~ agatek / netq.html ). For example, in response to a letter to be answered under the quotation and cut unnecessary portion of it, such as roller skates, signature (if they do not commenting), and unnecessary quotations. 15th Can I use ascii-art pictures? Ascii artists can distribute provided they comply with the following rules: The most important rule is associated with signatures typically located in one corner of the image, or wpl?tanymi in the drawing. Such a signature is normally a number of letters, here’s an example:

    Dissemination of mutilated ascii-art, is forbidden and reprehensible. In doing so, people will not be welcome. If you want to use a picture that has no signature, ask for great-and who is its author. What so many pairs of eyes are better than one 馃檪 If no one will not know it every time you use this figure, You must specify that you are not its author. This is best done by inserting signatures into the drawing: [unknown] or [no_sig].

    If you then get yourself to who is the author of the drawing, not forget to let us know about it at great-a! We will be grateful to you all 馃檪 Found the drawing can be used for a signature, but only under Subject to the consent of the author / authors. Please ask for it, if planned frequent use of ASCII-Art. The author may restrict the right to copy his drawings, and should at this absolutely obeyed! But it can not restrict the right to copy what post on the group! This does not even make sense, because the message shown in Figure is copied several times between news servers, archives, and users. It is forbidden to reap the direct benefits property of such a copy! 16th How do I know who the author is drawing? Each drawing ascii should be labeled with the initials of the author. Sadly and so that such signature does not have: (What to do with this figure you will learn in question 14 Can I use ascii-art pictures?
