AsciiArtWidget is a library which provides a Text widget with bindings and functions suitable for editing Ascii artwork. This is a fairly low-level library, providing only the creation routine and a loading from memory function. Saving and opening files is up to the programmer who uses this library. It can be incorporated into an existing program or used in a new one in almost no time because it is entirely self-contained and only provides two "public" functions.

API Functions:

AsciiArtWidget::new <window> <width> <height>
Creates and returns an Ascii Art Widget <window> of specified
width and height

AsciiArtWidget::load <window> <data>

Loads <data> into exisiting Ascii Art widget <window>
Data will be space padded on the right to a box-fit

Dependencies:

• Tcl/Tk

To Do:

• Testing
• Perhaps more sophisticated editing bindings

This is a work in progress. All needed bindings should be included and there are no known bugs in any of the algorithms. As I haven't used it a whole lot I am not sure if there are any more advantageous bindings to add. Please send all comments to fastjack@turf.org
