NAME

       display-monotext - Emulate palettized modes on text-mode visuals

SYNOPSIS

       display-monotext: [ [-a=<acc>] | [ [-x=<acc>] [-y=<acc>] ] ] <target-spec>

DESCRIPTION

       Emulates palettized modes (GT_PALETTE) on another target which can only
       do text modes, by representing the graphics as ASCII  characters.   The
       effect is the much the same as the AAlib target, but does not depend on
       any external libraries.

OPTIONS

       -x=<acc>, -y=<acc>
              A value between 1 and 5 which determines how accurately  to  map
              the  graphics  to  ASCII  characters.   Lower  values  are  less
              accurate, but can represent a wider range of  intensity  levels.
              The default is x=2 and y=4.

       -a=<acc>
              Same  as  above,  but  sets  both  the  x  and y accuracy to the
              specified value.

       target-spec
              Specifies the target which to draw on (the parent target).  This
              defaults  to  automatic selection (just like using ggiOpen(NULL)
              when GGI_DISPLAY is not set).
