Aewan Description

Free and open source command-line ASCII art editor Aewan is a multi-layered ascii-art/animation editor that produces both stand-alone cat-able art files and an easy-to-parse format for integration in your terminal applications. Aewan is a curses-based program that allows for the creation and editing of ascii art. The user is able to move the cursor around the screen by means of the arrow keys and 'paint' characters by pressing the corresponding keys. There are dialog boxes that allow the user to choose foreground and background colors, as well as bold and blink attributes. The user may also select rectangular areas of the canvas in order to move, copy and paste them. Aewan also supports 'intelligent' vertical and horizontal flipping.Aewan compiles under FreeBSD and possibly other UNIX systems. What's New in This Release: · aecat now accepts "comment" format (which extracts metadata from the file) and -L option (which outputs layer count) · corrected aeff (aewan file format) escape sequence interpretation bug that was causing special characters in metainfo to get garbled · added "resize layer" funcionality, · both 'Load file' and 'Save file' now use dialog boxes that let the user browse directories · added a new export utility: aemakeflic, which converts aewan documents into animations to be played in the 'less' command or as a shell script · added a confirmation question when quitting the program or clearing the document to prevent against accidental loss of current work · in the version number, the revision will be conventionally written with two digits from now on
