This crate provides functionality for reading and writing .xp
files of the
Grid Sage Games REXPaint
ASCII art editor.
This can be used to import the images directly into a game, or to provide tools for generating or manipulating images which are not available inside the software itself.
A few example tools are provided
noise.xp
,
which can then be read into REXPaint. The color map used to map noise values to colors is selectable.view prints rexpaint images to the terminal (requires true-color support). This assumes that a codepage 437 font was used.
textwrap wraps text into a .xp
file of a specified size like
cargo run --example textwrap /path/to/text test.xp 16 8
The text is converted from unicode to codepage 437, undefined characters are replaced with ■
!
See these examples for how to use the library.
