About finding an octree quantization code, Google code search might help:

`doesn’t have many fancy options’… I actually think it’s loaded with what’s necessary. You have variable width conversions, which I’ve never encountered before anywhere. On var width, I love it heaps but for demonstration quality it may need a left alignment or an option to align the text in some unobtrusive way to the image. It’s not necessary for me. Every font on your system is accessible. Colour conversions for monospace fonts. I won’t mention my ideas again, which I’m sure are getting annoying.

I created a ramp for Lucida Console size 6 in case anyone’s interested. I done it up before the conversion to the option for valid character ramp generations, and the ramp gen is about equivallent, so try these valid chars @%#&Wwnuvoxesc;,:. and space (and & but it seems to return a crash).

Anyone else?

Thanks.

There’s a menu item that leads to paypal in the program if anyone ever wants to donate, but in about four years I only had a couple of donations so I decided it wasn’t worth keeping a button on this page.

Concerning the quality of black/white backgrounds, I find white backgrounds produce good colour results when using a smaller font, so that there’s less whites. I’m finding large fonts (ie. size 9,10) go quite well with small areas with black backgrounds. Some pretty cool stuff that way. Is there a way to get the program to compute a perfect default colour background considering the various factors when outputting colour?

The color text output should be the perfect size, please let me know how to reproduce a stretched image.

“Force greyscale” is there to stop problems caused by cleartype adding color information. If you don’t have cleartype on, you won’t see a difference.

Your program rocks!
I’d leave a donation if the color text output only wasnt stretched, ruining the “image”, and the convert to image with the checkbox “force greyscale” unchecked would stop giving a greyscale image still

Haven’t tried that extension, but MiniCap from DonationCoder is also good for screen captures. It can do scrollable windows, which I gather the Firefox plugin can do.
