Samj has done some work on this script and now it absolutely rocks :yes

Download from here textes_002.scm+example
it takes a little practice to get the menu right but the results are worth it
Thank you Samj from all at GimpChat :yr

Note: Mini tutorial below

I thought I would add some examples to help
open an image, as below, I was in a hurry so I just splashed some color

for text in rectangles, first create the rectangles,by setting menu as below

then create the text by selecting the new image and setting menu as below

or you can elect to get just text by setting menu as below

with all the other settings feel free to experiment

Thank you Graechan for bringing this great script forward, It is amazing what it can do. Thanks also for the mini tute. The hardest part for me is figuring out the dialogues and you did it for us. :tyspin

Molly I have only shown Ascii2 results the other effects can also give exciting results

What other effects, I haven't even looked at the script yet. Closing down for the night now, the back is getting stiff.

hmmmmmm, just looking at the script now. looks awfully complicated for a dummy.

I will do some better ones tomorrow. could be a fun one.

Molly It's definitely the best ascii2 generator script I've come across

molly · **Joined:** Apr 07, 2010 **Posts:** 14182

Yes I see that it is very good.

True colors

Change colors

I like this script a lot. However I haven't been able to get "circles"

Here my try

Issabella · **Posted:** Tue Sep 23, 2014 3:44 pm **(#16)**

I get the same outcome in circles as in rectangles. Is it working to you all? :tyspin

I do too, your first one looks like a circle or a coil. Graechan seems to have the magic touch.

I

used a picture and it was doubled in size after.
forgot to change from ascii on this one

Changed it to 'phrase' on this one

The only setting I changed was the 'effect' not sure why they are different sizes

Those are very cool, I don't know how you managed to have the picture up front like that.

Working for me - It didn't at first because I forgot to change a setting
