aalib is a library to render any graphic into ascii art.
aalib will utilize: xfree86-4.3.0 |
Install aalib by running the following commands:
./configure --prefix=/usr && make && make install |
As with most libraries, there is no configuration to do, save that the library directory i.e. /usr/lib or /usr/local/lib should appear in /etc/ld.so.conf so that ldd can find the shared libraries. After checking that this is the case, /sbin/ldconfig should be run while logged in as root.
The aalib package contains the libaa libraries, aalib-config, aainfo, aatest and aasavefont.
The Ascii Art library is a collection of routines to render any graphical input in portable format to Ascii Art. It can be used through many programs and has a very well documented api, so you can easily put it into your own programs.
aalib-config provides configuration info for aalib.
aainfo provides information for your current settings related to aalib.
aatest shows the abilities of aalib in a little test.
aafire is another little toy of aalib, rendering an animated fire in Ascii Art.
