Convert persian text to ascii art

Project description

Araste

making ascii-art out of Persian/Arabic text

Similar to the figlet and toilet tools, but for Persian and Arabic texts.

usage:

araste <your text>

use -f switch to choose font

araste 'your persian/arabic text' -f 'fontpath or fontname'

to get a list of installed fonts:

araste --list

for now, there are a few fonts that you can use:

aipara
aipara_mini
zivar
nima

it can also read text from stdin. so you can do something like this:

echo 'آراسته' | araste

to get help:

araste -h

an output with the default font (aipara):

                                      ██████
        ████                ██        ██
  ████                      ██          ██
  ████    ██    ██  ██  ██  ██    ██    ██
    ██████████████████████  ██    ██    ██
                                  ██
                                ██

filters

araste has various filters for decorating the output. use filters with -F switch.

for instance, you can use rainbow filter like this:

$ araste 'colorful text' -F rainbow

also you can concatenate several filters. to do so, just type their names one by one after -F switch.

for instance:

$ araste نوشته -F hmirror box

output:

╔════════════════════════════════════╗
║              ██                    ║
║██            ████      ████        ║
║                              ████  ║
║██  ████  ██  ██  ██    ██    ████  ║
║████████  ██████████████████████    ║
║    ██                              ║
║      ██                            ║
║                                    ║
╚════════════════════════════════════╝

to get a list of available filters, use --filter-list switch:
