_) _ \ __| __| _` | __ \ _ \ __| | __| __/ \__ \ ( ( | | | __/ \__ \ | \__ \ \___| ____/ \___| \__,_| .__/ \___| ____/ _) | ____/ _| ___/ escapes.js is a small JavaScript / Canvas library for rendering ANSI art. It has no dependencies, but it integrates nicely with jQuery. Demo: https://atdt.github.io/escapes.js/ Example: escapes('path/to/file.ans', function () { document.body.appendChild(this); }); Example (with jQuery): escapes('path/to/file.ans', function () { $(this).appendTo('body'); }); Within the callback, the value of "this" is set to a canvas element containing the rendered ANSI. The element is augmented with a couple of useful methods: this.toImageTag() Creates an image tag with a PNG of the ANSI. this.toDownloadURL() Returns a string URL containing the rendered ANSI as a base64-encoded PNG file, with a MIME type of "image/octet-stream". If you set this URL as the href attribute of a link tag, clicking on it will open a "Save File..." dialog. escapes() takes a configuration object as an optional third parameter. You can use it to make the default background color transparent by passing in {transparent: true}. If you're using escapes.js with jQuery, you can invoke the library as $.ansiRender([url]). This returns a jQuery.Deferred object: $.ansiRender('path/to/file.ans').done(function () { // do stuff }); Thie chief advantage of this approach is that it allows you to synchronize ANSI rendering with other asyncronous operations (using Deferred.when, for example). You can read more about jQuery.Deferred here: http://api.jquery.com/category/deferred-object/ For lots & lots of beautiful ANSI art, check out http://sixteencolors.net/
