ltp - Large Type Pieces

ltp is a Crystal library to display characters in a 3x3 format in the terminal using large type pieces characters only. This library provides a visually distinct way to present large, block-style characters, making terminal outputs more visually engaging.

Installation

Add this to your application's shard.yml:

dependencies:
  ltp:
    github: mamantoha/crystal-ltp

Usage

require "ltp"

LTP.print("Hello, World!")

This will output each character of "Hello, World!" in a 3x3 ASCII art format in your terminal.

You can use ltp to display large type characters by piping text input into the ltp_cli.cr script. Here's a quick example:

shards build
date | ./bin/ltp

Character Support

crystal ./samples/symbols.cr

Currently, ltp supports only ASCII and Ukrainian letters. We are open to expanding the character set and welcome contributions. If you're interested in adding support for more characters, please feel free to submit a pull request.
