jp2a with half carriage feed? #14
Description
I had a bit of nostalgia recently and started a quest to find pre-ascii typewriter art using half carriage feeds to partially overlap lines.
I did find some folks do overstrike art, re-running the full line with text overstrikes.
I have not yet dug into your jp2a utility, but I wonder if you think this could be a possible (easy) modification or option? I am not super familiar with the area so this may already exist. Overstrike, half returns, etc.
A half return would complicate things because we can't display easily so you have to have a display app or write the resulting output to PDF maybe?
I am a MATLAB junkie, so I copied in an example of what I am talking about. I tested it in octave online as well and it seems to render for me with a half step. https://octave-online.net/
Thanks for your utility!
