A mini FIGlet



A FIGlet is useful to mark the beginning of chapters or sections in the source code of a TeX document or to highlight some comments. There are several online FIGlets. The code below is a extremely simple one that composes a result from a given font set. Here we have some examples.

Font set: ./images/f_swamp_land.txt

I have not created these font sets. I guess they are public domain. To get more visit the online figlets Ascii Set and Text to ASCII Art Generator.



The code

This is the Python code of the extra-mini-figlet:


#!/usr/bin/env python                                                          
# -*- coding: iso-8859-15 -*-                                                  


# the function minifiglet(text, name, h)
# prints text using figlet fonts in name.txt of height h


# To get new figlet fonts, paste and copy ascii.txt
# in http://patorjk.com/software/taag/
# with full height and width.
# The output with some font has to be copied to an empty
# file f_font.txt (use select text option in the web page).

# in name.txt with font size h to the list font_l
