JPG-to-ASCII

Converts a JPG to ASCII text art

Not complete. I got bored memorizing lines for a play and wanted to see how well this would work.

Gross code but kind of fun. I will come back to this.

##Tested on Ubuntu 14.04 with OpenCV 3.0

#If you don't feel like building and running it I attached sample outputs and inputs in the resources directory. I used the Falcon 9 image that SpaceX is using for their Twitter profile

#Build steps ##Typical CMake build

1. mkdir build
2. cd build
3. cmake ..
4. make

#Running it I provided you with a sample image to test it on 😏

1. cd build
2. ./JPG-to-ASCII ../resources/MontagueHeadshot.jpg

#Viewing your ASCII art Here is an example. I used gedit to view the image but I had to make two changes:

1. Disable text wrapping

• Edit->Preferences->View
• Under Text Wrapping uncheck the Enable text wrapping radio box

2. Enable text resizing

• I followed this link

##After those changes...

1. cd build
2. gedit artwork/[FILENAME].txt
