ASCII guide

[raptor]

ASCII Art is a way to create a very simple drawings in computer programs, which work with the text (eg. Editors, mailers, etc.). These drawings are laid using ordinary ASCII characters, posed in an area of ​​constant width of columns (fixed number of characters in each line) and a fixed amount of characters (letters to the same extent). This type of process graphics creation, but rather its symbolization, called semigraphics.Examples
The simplest examples are simply emoticons - it is also an ASCII-art:
:-)    :-D    P    ; <    =)
More complex [than emoticon] semigrafikami are for example the following pictures:
______________________
/\                     \
/  \    _________________\
\   \   \                /
\   \   \__________    /
\   \   \    /   /   /

How to Make ASCII Art?
As far as the above examples, it's enough to own a little fun in just any text editor.
But if you talk about ASCII color profile information, will be a little more work.
After the turn, what to do:
1. Select an image that you want in the profile. Please note that graphics can not be too big - it's best to not exceed the maximum size of 150x150 pixels.
2. Go to homepage http://picascii.com/
3. Select a file (image) from the computer.
4. Or paste a link to an image from the network.
5. Enter 8 as the font size.
6. Select "bird" Color to ASCII-Art was in color.
7. Generate code to your own semigraphics.
8. Click Get the CODE OR TXT HTML version (with colors or not).
9. It can be seen 2 code - HTML and TEXT. The latter is in this case irrelevant. You should now copy the whole HTML code.
10. Open Microsoft Word and paste previously copied there HTML code.

; "> On]        </ Span> on [/ color]
15. Copy BBCode ready code and paste into your profile information.
