- S T U D I O v0.9
-
-
-
- AsciiArt Pro Studio - The best ascii painting package, and one
- of the only ascii animation packages.
-
-
- Contents:
-
- 1. Basic usage
-
- 2. Brushes
-
- 3. Using IFF pics
-
- 4. Animation
-
- 5. Registering
-
- 6. Other notes
-
-
-
-
-
- **** 1: Basic Usage **************
-
- Using AsciiArt Pro is simpler then ever because of its new 'DPaint'
- style interface. All the tools are in buttons on the right of the screen.
-
- To draw an ascii picture, all you have to do is select an ascii
- charecter, either by using the table in the button bank, or just press
- the one you want on the keyboard.
-
-
- **** 2: Brushes ******************
-
- To pickup a brush, you click on 'pickup' in the brush menu, and
- mark out the area you want as a brush.
-
- You can then paint with it like single charecters. If you want to
- stop using the brush (to do some detail with single chrs) click on the
- use button (clicking again will turn it on again)
-
-
- **** 3: Using IFF pics ***********
-
- To convert a picture to ascii, just press on the 'convertpic' button
- and select a picture. To get the most out of this option you must play
- with the contrast settings in the iff 'options' button. It takes practise
- to get good results.
-
- If the picture is only 2 colours then asciiart pro traces around the
- shapes to make smooth ascii lines.
-
- If you change the text colours then converting it from iff will use the
- next text/bg colour. (see 'AsciiArt-2ColShape.AAF')
-
-
- **** 4: Animation ****************
-
- To start the animation you first set the no. of fraims. If you have
- started an anim then you can add fraims to it.
-
- When you save you can use 2 formats -
-
- .AAF - AsciiAnimationFormat is my own format. At the moment AAPS only
- supports uncompressed type 0 format.
-
- AsciiStream - This produces a big ascii file, and with abit of modifing,
- could be used in BBS's/MUCK's etc.
- * You can't load ascii streams back into AAPS.
-
-
-
-

- **** 6: Other notes **************

-
- Known Bugs:
-
- there are a few bugs in the brush display and pickup, and I
