Code:

toilet input_text

Motivation:

Generating ASCII art for a given text can be a fun and creative way to personalize messages or add visual appeal to various projects. Using the toilet command, we can easily generate ASCII art by simply providing the desired input text.

Explanation:

The command toilet input_text takes the input_text as a parameter and generates ASCII art based on it. The default font will be used for the creation of the ASCII art.

Example Output:

   _____                  _ 
  / ____|                (_)
 | (___  _ __  _   _ _ __ _ 
  \___ \| '_ \| | | | '__| |
  ____) | |_) | |_| | |  | |
 |_____/| .__/ \__,_|_|  |_|
        | |                  
        |_|                  

2: Generate ASCII art using a custom font file

Code:

toilet input_text -f font_filename

Motivation:

Sometimes, the default font may not be suitable for the desired aesthetics or style. In such cases, using a custom font can provide more options for customization and creativity. By specifying a custom font file with the toilet command, we can generate ASCII art with a unique and desired appearance.

Explanation:

The command toilet input_text -f font_filename generates ASCII art using a custom font file. The input_text parameter represents the desired text for which the ASCII art will be generated. The -f flag is used to specify the path or filename of the custom font file.

Example Output:

  ____                    _   
 |  _ \ _ __ ___   ___   / |
 | | | | '__/ _ \ / _ \  | |
 | |_| | | | (_) | (_) | | |
 |____/|_|  \___/ \___/  |_|

3: Generate ASCII art using a filter

Code:

toilet input_text --filter filter_name

Motivation:

In addition to custom fonts, toilet also provides various filters that can be applied to the ASCII art, resulting in different visual effects. By applying a filter to the ASCII art, we can further enhance its appearance and creativity.

Explanation:

The command toilet input_text --filter filter_name generates ASCII art using a specific filter. The input_text parameter represents the desired text for which the ASCII art will be generated, and the filter_name parameter represents the name of the desired filter to be applied.

Example Output:

          __    __    __    _______..___________. _______ 
         |  |  |  |  |  |  /       ||           ||   ____|
         |  |__|  |  |  | |   (----``---|  |----`|  |__   
         |   __   |  |  |  \   \        |  |     |   __|  
         |  |  |  |  |  | .----)   |   |  |     |  |____ 
         |__|  |__|  |__| |_______/    |__|     |_______|
                                                          

4: Show available toilet filters

Code:

toilet --filter list

Motivation:

To explore the various filters available in the toilet command, we can use the --filter option with the list parameter. This helps us discover and decide which filter we want to apply to an ASCII art.

Explanation:

The command toilet --filter list displays a list of available filters that can be used with the toilet command. By running this command, we can see the names of the filters, allowing us to choose the appropriate one for our desired effect.

Example Output:

Available filters:
