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
  1. Enable text resizing
  • I followed this link

##After those changes...

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