Text2Gif
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
Program to generate gif images out of regular text. Text can be one line
|
|
or multi line, and is converted using 8 by 8 fix font.
|
|
|
|
Usage:
|
|
------
|
|
|
|
Usage: Text2Gif [-q] [-s ClrMapSize] [-f FGClr] [-c R G B] [-t "Text"] [-h]
|
|
|
|
Text2Gif read stdin if no text is provided in the command line (-t),
|
|
and will dump the created GIF file to stdout.

Options:
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
1. [-q] : quite mode. Default off on MSDOS, on on unix. Controls printout
|
|
of running scan lines. Use -q- to turn off.
|
|
2. [-s ClrMapSize] explicitly defines the size of the color map of the
|
|
resulting gif image. Usually the image will be bicolor with fg as color
|
|
1, unless [-f] is explicitly given in case the color map size will be
|
|
big enough to hold it. However it is sometimes convenient to set the
|
|
color map size to certain size while the fg color is small mainly so
|
|
this image may be merged with another (images must match color map size).
|
|
3. [-f FG] : select foreground index (background is always 0). By default
|
|
it is one and therefore the image result is bicolored.
|
|
if FG is set to n then color map will be created with 2^k entries where
|
|
2^k > n for minimum k, assuming k <= 8. This color map will be all zeros
|
|
except this forground index. This option is useful if this text image
|
|
should be integrated into other image colormap using their colors.
|
|
4. [-c R G B] : The color to use as the foreground color. While by default.
|
|
5. [-t "Text"] : in case of one line text, it can be provided on the command
|
|
line. Note you must encapsulate the Text within quotes if it has spaces
|
|
(The quotes themselves are not part of the text). If no -t option is
|
|
provided, stdin is read until end of file.
|
|
6. [-h] : print one command line help, similar to Usage above.
|

Notes:
|

------
|
|
There is a hard bound limit on the number of lines, and it is set to 100.
