ASCII graphics - ASCII - questions and answers.
Starting with this issue, we plan to publish parts of
a large and interesting text about the ASCII graphics. Titanic
task English translation of this manuscript to shoulder
Spy. To him we owe the appearance of this without interest
publikaktsii in our newspaper and we want to say a big thank
you for hard work, done for the benefit of Buzz and our readers.
Abstract.
---------
The concept of ASCII I use the feminine gender, relying on
the word "Encoding". Also, I was not able to translate some of
the terms in Basically, the network, due to their ignorance of
elementary values. Please excuse me for a few rough translation
- affects lack of time, experience and patience ;-)

abcdefgh Standard ASCII is created by
ijklmnopq only letters, numbers, punctuation
rstuvwxyz and symbols, such as depicted on the left.
ABCDEFGH These characters are part of a set
IJKLMNOPQ ASCII ([Asuka] - American Standard
RSTUVWXYZ encoding for exchanging information - America
Standart Code for Information Interchange)
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 characters with codes from 32 to 126.
There is also a non-standard ASCII,
\ | - _ +% @ <;! containing the control codes.

enacting various information services. As
an art form, ASCII appeared before the computers - the use of
printing machines, teletype as well as in printing.

/____! Why GIF instead of using ASCII? _ / \ _
ASCII is used for several reasons:
√ Standard ASCII - this is the only form of graphs, which is
most more easily transmitted and viewed on any terminal, and
also printed on the printer.
√ If you can view the text, then you also have the WHO
possibility to view ASCII (since it consists of standard
text characters). To view does not require any conversion,
nor any special software.
√ ASCII - as the most compact form of presentation graphics.
Size of ASCII files can be even less than 1 KB.
In the case of high-resolution picture can be similar to
ASCII for replace GIF file size of 20, 50, 100 or more bytes.

!___/ Why use ASCII? _ / \ _
ASCII is used for several things, such as:
√ Education - eg table of models of molecules.
√ Intercultural dialogue - the picture of "international",
clear
people of many nationalities.
√ Pictures for servers and BBS.
√ Entertainment - ASCII is used as postcards for days
birthday, holiday greetings, invitations, greeting
messages, etc.
√ supplemental visual information is used, for example,
in order to "dilute" the graphics are long and complex
clarifications of.

Other types of ASCII, using a standard set of symbols
include the following four:
√ Geometric Article - Text strings are formed in such a way
that they form any image.
√ Picture Poem (pictures - poems) - the same as the Geo
metric Article, but the text - in verse.
√ Page Making or Pagination ("stranitsedelanie :-)) - combined
of text and graphics (as in the magazine). The first four
species
ASCII, discussed in this chapter, refer to Page Making'u.
Go to Page Making'u also includes the text, divided into
several
columns, the text "format" geometric article or something
mixed, for example, gray scale image, the surrounding text,
broken into columns.
√ Picture Story - stories with ASCII illustrations: 8)
Examples of these types of ASCII file can be found at the end.
There are also non-standard types of ASCII, that can not be
look in the usual way. They contain control codes,
For example, for animation or change color. Before viewing
These files need to be recoded (see Chapter 19).
There are three types of non-standard ASCII:
√ Animations - animated image that represents the
sequence of changing ASCII pictures.
√ Color images - in addition to black and white, there are also
colored ASCII pictures. To view them requires software, a
porting standard ANSI (American National Standarts Insti
tute - American National Standards Institute).
√ Color Animation - color animation.
In addition to the above, there are several types of ASCII:
√ Overstrike Art - designed exclusively for the printer. Ne
Chat head several times passes by the same
place on paper. This method is used to darken
images or to arrange neskolkoh different characters
in one place.
√ Scroll Animation - a sequence of ASCII personnel located
charged in a single file so that when paging
navigating through the text down, turned out an animated
image.
