embedFiglet

embedFiglet is a C++ library which implement a subset of Figlet capability (http://www.figlet.org). No configuration or font file are necessary, moveover, the fonts are stored in structure initalized at compile time.

Details

This library implement a subset of Figlet capability, i.e. print large letters out of ordinary text

   _ _ _          _   _     _
  | (_) | _____  | |_| |__ (_)___
  | | | |/ / _ \ | __| '_ \| / __|
  | | |   <  __/ | |_| | | | \__ \_
  |_|_|_|\_\___|  \__|_| |_|_|___(_)

Differently of standard FIGlet command (http://www.figlet.org/) this print can be done inside a user program using run time generated string as follows

#include "Figlet.hh"
#include <sstream>
using namespace std;

int
main() {
  Figlet::standard.print("Fractions");
  for ( int i = 2; i <= 4; ++i ) {
    ostringstream ss;
    ss << "5/" << i << " = " << 5.0/i;
    Figlet::small.print(ss.str().c_str());
  }
  cout << "ALL DONE!\n";
  return 0;
}

which output is the following

   _____               _   _
  |  ___| __ __ _  ___| |_(_) ___  _ __  ___
  | |_ | '__/ _` |/ __| __| |/ _ \| '_ \/ __|
  |  _|| | | (_| | (__| |_| | (_) | | | \__ \

   ___   _____         ___   ___   
  | __| / /_  )  ___  |_  ) | __|
  |__ \/ / / /  |___|  / / _|__ \
  |___/_/ /___| |___| /___(_)___/
                               
   ___   ______        _    __  __  __  ______
  | __| / /__ /  ___  / |  / / / / / / / /__  |
  |__ \/ / |_ \ |___| | |_/ _ Y _ Y _ Y _ \/ /
  |___/_/ |___/ |___| |_(_)___|___|___|___/_/
                                             
   ___   ___ _          _   ___ ___
  | __| / / | |   ___  / | |_  ) __|
  |__ \/ /|_  _| |___| | |_ / /|__ \
  |___/_/   |_|  |___| |_(_)___|___/

No initialization files are necessary. The fonts are hardware embedded in the library. The available fonts are:

banner
big
doom
larry3d
mini
script
small
standard
straight

A simple ruby script permits to convert figlet .flf files to structures which can be embedded in the library.

Available printing mode

Only four mode of print the same string:

FIGLET_SMUSHED standard way of figlet print
FIGLET_PACKED letters are moved left but no overlapping are permitted
FIGLET_FULLWIDTH letters are printed at width defined in the font
FIGLET_MONOSPACED letters are printed with equal width

The effect are the following

   ____                      _              _
  / ___| _ __ ___  _   _ ___| |__   ___  __| |

                                           |_|

Available framing mode

Only two framing are available:

FIGLET_SINGLE single frame around a string
FIGLET_DOUBLE double frame around a string

The effect are the following

  Figlet::small.printFramed("SINGLE",cout,Figlet::FIGLET_SINGLE);
