CharacterPixels

Following Microsoft's purchase of Github, this project has migrated to gitlab.

Processing code implementing the use of text characters as pixels

Usage

• To do some Super Serious rendering, run CPR after reading the instructions and setting up the parameters.
• To visualize font and character spacing, run NewBoxRenderer.
• Enjoy!

Notes

• Memoisation is used to improve efficiency in character bounding box lookup! Check it out if you don't know what it is ;-)
• CPR and other recent executables use a csv file to proivde the user with fine horizontal spacing adjustments of individual characters.
