Use braille characters for graphics in terminal: ⢦⠓⡤⠎⠢ #29

Closed ghost closed 8 years ago

ghost commented 8 years ago

I made a basic (~300 SLOC) implementation of the [drawille] library (https://github.com/asciimoo/drawille) in emacs lisp

As an example:

(drawille-draw-sparkline nil 2 0 3 2 0 1 1 3 2 1)

Would produce: ⢦⠓⡤⠎⠢.

I can help to extract the relevant code from the library or to use it.

the library itself seems interesting, but the resolution is too low to render sparklines (in one line), IMO.

probably the library is useful when rendering images in multiple lines.

Yes indeed...

4 dots per column, 5 states (0%, 25%, 50%, 75% or 100%) is not much.

Anyway, thank you for your answer!

Closing the issue...
