AnsiArt
This project is under refactoring.
Pending issues:
- Currently it only supports Ruby 1.9.2 or above because it uses
String#encode! - It requires
uming.ttcfont file in current working directory. This is inconvenient. - The CSS should be moved somewhere else.
- Do we need to refine API of
AnsiArt::Document. It should be the only API class. All other classes are for internal use. It's nice if we can make its API as generic as possible.
I saw there are some code to use gd2 gem in ruby 1.8.x. I think that doesn't work.
Requirement
- Ruby 1.9.2 or above
- libgd
Installation
It's not on rubygems.org yet. Just clone the git reposiory and execute.
rake install
Example: Get it working
This gem requires CJK font AR PL UMing for PNG rendering, which is licensed under Arphic Public License.
Put a uming.tcc font file in your working directory.
Ways to find it:
- In Ubuntu, it might be at
/usr/share/fonts/truetype/arphic/uming.ttc. - Download it from [freedesktop.org] (http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/CJKUnifonts/Download)
Download a ansi file:
wget http://ansi.loli.tw/ansiarts/static/803.ans
And here is the ruby snippet:
require 'rubygems'
gem 'ansi_art'
require 'ansi_art'
doc = AnsiArt::Document.new(IO.read('803.ans'))
File.open('out.html', 'w') { |f| f.write(doc.to_html) }
File.open('out.png', 'wb') { |f| f.write(doc.to_png) }
You should see out.html and out.png in your working directory.
Make HTML display correctly
HTML output needs to be wraped under a <div class="ansi-block"> tag, and apply required css files.
Example:
<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
<title>ANSI art test page</title>
<link href="ansi.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">
<!--[if IE 9]>
<link href="ansi.ie9.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">
<![endif]-->
</head>
<body>
<div class="ansi-block">
<%= c.to_html %>
</div>
</body>
</html>
