LIBANSILOVE(3) Library Functions Manual LIBANSILOVE(3)

NAME

libansiloveLibrary for converting ANSI, ASCII, and other formats to PNG

DESCRIPTION

libansilove is a library to convert ANSi and artscene related file formats into PNG images, supporting ANSI (.ANS), PCBoard (.PCB), Binary (.BIN), Artworx (.ADF), iCE Draw (.IDF), Tundra (.TND) and XBin (.XB) formats.

It creates size optimized 4-bit PNG files and supports 80x25 and 80x50 PC fonts (including all the 14 MS-DOS charsets), Amiga fonts, and iCE colors.

All library functions take a context, defined as an structure in include/ansilove.h:

struct ansilove_ctx {
        uint8_t *buffer;
        size_t maplen;
        size_t length;
        struct ansilove_png png;
        uint8_t error;
};

Options are passed to the different loaders using the structure in include/ansilove.h:

struct ansilove_options {
        bool diz;
        bool dos;
        bool icecolors;
        bool truecolor;
        int16_t columns;
        uint8_t font;
        uint8_t bits;
        uint8_t mode;
        uint8_t scale_factor;
};
