An image paster is an automated tool to paste images onto the OWOT canvas. The usage of image pasters are usually stigmatized by many OWOT users.

Types of Image Pasters

Full Block

The only type that works without customizable cell background colors. Using the full block "█" it is possible to render one color in each text cell. Two cells can then be combined to form a square pixel.

Half Block

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.

Octant

Using the octant characters, it is possible to divide each text cell into eight pixels, though only two colors can be present in any given cell. Octants allow for higher resolution images than half blocks, though the two color limitation means that some amount of distortion will be visible at smaller scales.

Emoji Pasters

The only pasting method that does not require text colors.

Emoji-based image pasters are more common in YWOT, where they are the only way to render multi-colored images on the canvas.
