Image pasters: Difference between revisions

'''Image pasters''' are automated tools that convert images into text so that they can be pasted onto the canvas. A variety of characters and methods can be used for this purpose, and scripters are continuously looking for ways to render images in higher resolutions.

=== Braille ===

One of the oldest and most easily accessible forms of image pasters, since image to braille converters are common on the internet. Braille images are generally black and white, but can achieve relatively high levels of resolution using a small amount of characters.

Images rendered entirely using keyboard characters, with characters of different heights and densities being used for shading. ASCII image pastes are among the lowest in resolution and are insufficient to portray more complex details.

Represents contrasts in color using the full block characters "░ ▒ ▓ █." This method is more common on YWOT.

Using the full block "█," it is possible to render one color in each text cell. Two cells can also be combined to form a square pixel.

Full block pasters used to be the primary form of image pasters in OWOT, but have grown out of fashion ever since November 2024, when a variety of higher resolution methods were made possible by the introduction of [[Tile format#Color & Background color|customizable cell colors]] to the mainpage.

By using the half block symbols "▀" and "▄," it is possible to divide each text cell into two pixels of different colors, with one color being the half block itself and the other being the cell background color. <gallery mode="packed" heights="300">

Back in ~2022, notorious user [[PinkiePie]] created an especially powerful image paster that could not be disabled due to it being a chrome extension rather than a regular script.

PinkiePie used this tool primarily for the purpose of spamming MLP porn at spawn.

Created in 2022. Comes with its own interface.

<blockquote>''to expand more upon it, yes it uses 2x4 octants. i want to try and increase the resolution further though and yea, this one adheres to the paste rate because it copies the image to your clipboard so you can paste it yourself, so no worries there''

{{main|Animated Scripts}}Videos can be rendered onto the canvas in the same way as static images, though scripts that allow for this are much rarer.<gallery mode="packed" heights="200">

File:Movienight 1.png|[[Catha'Vi]]'s movie night script rendered films using half blocks. It ran exclusively in a dedicated [[Worlds|world]], where the higher rate limit allowed footage to be played at a relatively smooth ~5 fps.
