Guruchaz | Monday, February 19, 2001 - 07:13 pm  Ok, I would like to know how to get an ASCII picture centered perfectly on the screen without having to add a bunch of dots? I couldn't seem to find a command for that. |
Gail | Monday, February 19, 2001 - 07:16 pm  Guru - did you try your text that is /c{your text} but make the / \ instead |
Guruchaz | Monday, February 19, 2001 - 07:21 pm  Gail, I tried that one time in the game and it didn't look right. I think Noslonna posted something one time and I didn't see any dots. Maybe that's how she did it. Do you center the whole thing at once or line by line? |
Gail | Monday, February 19, 2001 - 07:28 pm  Gu, I am not sure let me go peek and get right back to you |
Gail | Monday, February 19, 2001 - 07:30 pm  Okay - it looks like you do the \c at the beginning and then have the { at the beginning and the } at the end. If you post it and it is a mess - let me know and I will delete it for you. |
Guruchaz | Monday, February 19, 2001 - 07:32 pm  Cool! Thanks Gail! I didn't have anything to post at the moment but I was just curious how to post those correctly. We've almost got a team formed! I'm still hoping to hear from M. |
Noslonna | Monday, February 19, 2001 - 07:33 pm  Guru use the code \ch{nbsp} for a non breaking space instead of a dot. Center and use the code for fixed font: \c{\fixed{your ascii here}} Remember to "escape" any characters that are used in formatting codes such as the comma , the backward slash \ or the curly brackets {} by putting a backslash in front of them or they won't show up. |
Guruchaz | Monday, February 19, 2001 - 07:44 pm  Where do you type the command? I'm not clear on that. Nos, can you post an example of the coding without really using the ASCII so I can see what you do? |
Gail | Monday, February 19, 2001 - 08:04 pm  Guru - check your email - see if that helps. |
Guruchaz | Monday, February 19, 2001 - 08:07 pm  ok, will do. Have I been enlightened?
 Thanks! |
Noslonna | Monday, February 19, 2001 - 08:36 pm  Here is a simple ascii with dots for the spaces ....\|||/.... ....(o.o).... -ooO-(_)-Ooo- You must use the fixed font code for it to line up right. The code looks like this: (notice the extra backslash to escape the \ ) \fixed{ ....\\|||/.... ....(o.o).... -ooO-(_)-Ooo-} If you don't want dots to hold the spaces then you must replace each dot with the code \ch{nbsp} - like this: \c{\fixed{ \ch{nbsp}\ch{nbsp}\ch{nbsp}\ch{nbsp}\\|||/\ch{nbsp}\ch{nbsp}\ch{nbsp}\ch{nbsp} \ch{nbsp}\ch{nbsp}\ch{nbsp}\ch{nbsp}(o\ch{nbsp}o)\ch{nbsp}\ch{nbsp}\ch{nbsp}\ch{nbsp} -ooO-(_)-Ooo-}} If you copy and paste the above text and it will format to look like this:
\|||/ (o o) -ooO-(_)-Ooo- |
Guruchaz | Tuesday, February 20, 2001 - 09:55 am  Excellent! Thanks Nos and Gail. Maybe this will help others learn how to do this too. |
