Hi All!

piplz, pliz help me. i have to convert graphics to displaying in pure
ascii,
(all graphics presented in vector form), but i don't know how to do it.

i writes program and it will display graphical results in textmode, using
default screen font, in ascii. :-|

raster graphics i can convert - but *very* slowly - to ascii by
distributing
image to grid 8x16 (8x8, 8x14) and searching char image what looks like
this
part of image (but it takes lot of time, or works very draft). because i
have
vector graphics (stored in internal form, all picture contains only
several
monochrome lines (x1,y1) -- (x2,y2), all have width 1 pixel, screen looks
like (0,0) -- (Xsize-1,Ysize-1) etc.), i think converting vector graphics
to
ascii will be faster and ergh... bigger quality (zorry my english is too
worse... :(

can you help me, All?  where i can ftp
descriptions/algorythms/sources/etc
what can help me? (it will be much better if you send this stuff to me,
because i'm fido user, no personal internet access).

i'm wainitg to answers.... thanx for reading this letter.

Best Regards! Dmitrik aka DiGiC0RE
