What is ascii_art?

ascii_art easily converts images into ascii artwork. ascii_art now supports colored ascii art as well as the ability to convert colored ascii to html.

Example script

For a full example script, see draw_a_cat.py.
For a full list of example output, see examples.
Working colored HTML of an ASCII kitten using the character set 'kitten'

Reads cat.jpg, upscales the quality by 5, saves an ASCII rendering to cat_scale5_draw_ascii.png, saves a colored ASCII rendering to cat_scale5_full_range_color.png, and saves a text file containing the raw ASCII.

from ascii_art import ASCIIArt, ASCIIPicture

picture = ASCIIArt('cat', 5).draw_ascii(curve=1)
ASCIIPicture(picture).save('cat_scale5_draw_ascii.png')

colored_picture = ASCIIArt('cat', 5).draw_color_ascii(ASCIIArt.FULL_RANGE, curve=1.5)
ASCIIPicture(colored_picture).save('cat_scale5_full_range_color.png')

with open('cat_scale5_draw.txt', 'w') as f:
    f.write(''.join(picture))
