[Lines]
|
Lines in general are made by putting characters with different "height"
|
next to each other in a way that simulates a line.
|
Most characters suitable for creating a line fall in 4 heightcategories.
|
For some heights there are a choice between different characters.
|
It's important to choose a character for your height with a form and
|
position that seems to match the line.
|
Suitable characters are :
|
High : ` ' "
|
Middle : - =
|
Low : . ,
|
Bottom : _
|
You might think that ~ would be a good character too, but since ~ can
|
be displayed very differently from system to system it is best not to
|
use it when drawing lines
|
Some of theese are best for lines slanting ..
|
.. right :
|
_,.-'"
|
and some for slanting ..
|
.. left :
|
"`-._
|
And then there are / and \ and | .. all characters which forms restrict
|
their usability to lines that closely resembles their shape.
|
The best characthers are entirely a personal preference.
|
Here are some different types of lines.. which do you like the best ?
|
| | / .' .-' _.-'
|
| .' / .' .-' _.-'
|
| | / .' .-' _.-' __..--""
|
| .' / .' .-' _.-' __..--""
