big5-ansiart's Introduction

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.ttc font 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>
