[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 ? |
| | / .' .-' _.-' |
| .' / .' .-' _.-' |
| | / .' .-' _.-' __..--"" |
| .' / .' .-' _.-' __..--"" |
| | / .' .-' .-' __..--"" _______________ |
| | / ,' _,' _,-' |
