Introduction to Asciify

Asciify is a powerful library that allows users to convert text into ASCII art, making it visually appealing and adding a creative touch to your applications. Whether you are developing a command-line tool, creating fun text art, or just having fun with code, Asciify provides a simple and effective way to achieve this. In this blog post, we’ll explore various APIs of Asciify with code snippets to help you understand how to integrate Asciify into your projects.

API Examples

Basic Asciify

The following example demonstrates how to convert simple text into ASCII art using the Asciify library:

import asciify
text = "Hello, World!"
ascii_art = asciify.convert(text)
print(ascii_art)

Asciify with Font

You can also choose different fonts for your ASCII art to give it a unique look:

import asciify
text = "Hello, World!"
font = "standard"
ascii_art = asciify.convert(text, font=font)
print(ascii_art)

Asciify with Color

Add colors to your ASCII art for extra flair:

import asciify
text = "Hello, Colorful World!"
color = "green"
ascii_art = asciify.convert(text, color=color)
print(ascii_art)

Asciify an Image

Convert images to ASCII art with Asciify:

import asciify
image_path = "path/to/image.png"
ascii_art = asciify.convert_image(image_path)
print(ascii_art)

Customize ASCII Art

Customize the resolution and the width of the ASCII art:

import asciify
text = "Custom ASCII"
width = 80
resolution = 0.2
ascii_art = asciify.convert(text, width=width, resolution=resolution)
print(ascii_art)

Save ASCII Art to a File

Save the generated ASCII art to a file:

import asciify
text = "Save to File"
ascii_art = asciify.convert(text)
with open("ascii_art.txt", "w") as file:
    file.write(ascii_art)

App Example with Asciify APIs

Let’s create a simple command-line application that takes user input and converts it to ASCII art using various options provided by Asciify:

import asciify

def main():
    text = input("Enter text to asciify: ")
    font = input("Enter font (default: 'standard'): ")
    color = input("Enter color (default: None): ")
    width = int(input("Enter width (default: 80): "))
    resolution = float(input("Enter resolution (default: 0.1): "))
    
    if not font:
        font = "standard"
    if not width:
        width = 80
    if not resolution:
        resolution = 0.1

    ascii_art = asciify.convert(text, font=font, color=color, width=width, resolution=resolution)
    print("\nGenerated ASCII Art:\n")
    print(ascii_art)

if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()

In this application, users can provide the text, font, color, width, and resolution to customize their ASCII art experience. This demonstrates the flexibility and ease of using Asciify’s various APIs to create visually appealing text art.
