Difference in rendering with old elm example #30

Closed nkh closed 6 years ago

nkh commented 6 years ago

Hi,

I notice a different rendering of the sequence:

                      .      \ \ '--- The::Latest
                     /|       \ \      \
 With::Some::fantasy  '        \ \      '---- The::Latest::Greatest
                     /|         \ \
         More::Stuff  '          \ '- I::Am::Running::Out::Of::Ideas
                     /|           \
         More::Stuff  '            \
                     /              '--- Last::One
         More::Stuff 

in svgbob and https://ivanceras.github.io/elm-examples/elm-bot-lines/

In a terminal the use of quote "'" rather than dot "." looks better in ASCII. Could you unify the rendering so both render the same way

If you think I am picky and have an hawk eye, it's because I have drawn most of the example you use in the old version and they grabbed my eye today when I saw this project for the first time.

I think I may steal from you one or two stencils, I like the circles rendering, in fact I like this project very much.

This is already deprecated and unmaintained. You can try on this new link.

The ' has been reworked to not connect | and has been carried over to . You can try this instead:


                      .      \ \ '--- The::Latest
                     /|       \ \      \
 With::Some::fantasy  .        \ \      '---- The::Latest::Greatest
                     /|         \ \
         More::Stuff  .          \ '- I::Am::Running::Out::Of::Ideas
                     /|           \
         More::Stuff  .            \
                     /              '--- Last::One
         More::Stuff

Hmm, makes sense. I wrote Asciio so I have to think about changing it in the stencils.

I also noticed that "I::Am::Running::Out::Of::Ideas" is not rendered properly in the new version while it was in the old one, which I understand is deprecated.

Lately I was using : as vertical broken lines, I haven't polished the part where it is used as text when surrounded with other text. I'll definitely polished this stuff.

This project is hugely inspired by Asciio, your usage of combining the ascii makes more sense than the other ones i see. I took most parts of your asciio examples and tuned the generated svg from there.

It's good to hear that you are still maintaining that project.

"Still maintaining" is a big word, it seems that I have not commited anything since 2015. But I am always surprised when I see Asciio generated drawings, it seems it's used more than I thought. It may gain traction when I finally write a curses interface rather than the gtk interface. A simpler packaging would help windows user, Camelbox did that but it's broken, linux users are more lucky.

But you can have a look here, I have plans, when I have an extra life, to write the next version. https://github.com/nkh/Asciio-2.0/issues svgbob, and a few other renderers are there.
