          by using letters for their light emitting value.   
          Here is an example of how they break down by light intensity:   
          (Jorn Barger's light value scale)   
      
                       Darker    .'`,^:";~    Lighter   
              bright    /|\      -_+<>i!lI?     /|\      dark   
             letters     |       /\|()1{}[]      |     letters   
                on               rcvunxzjft               on   
               dark      |       LCJUYXZO0Q      |      bright   
            background  \|/      oahkbdpqwm     \|/   background   
                       Lighter   *WMB8&%$#@   Darker   
      
       o  3-D images - Can be viewable by people with similar vision in   
          both eyes. You try to focus as if you are looking at the back   
          of the monitor. The image should pop into focus and create a   
          3-D illusion. Other 3-D images are viewed by putting your nose   
          on the monitor glass.   
       o  Geometric Article - Text is formed into meaningful shapes.   
       o  Picture Poem - A geometric article that is also a poem.   
       o  Page Making - Text and graphics are intermixed, as in a magazine.   
       o  Picture Story - A story told with accompanying ASCII pictures.   
       o  Color - You can view color ASCII pics, if you have a color screen   
          and 'ANSI' color compatible software, or Web access using HTML.   
       o  Color Graphics - You can view color ASCII pics if you have color   
       o  Animation - take a look at         [dead-link snipped]   
       o  Color Animation - take a look at   [dead-link snipped]   
       o  Scroll Animation - This is an animation that is made to be viewed   
          by scrolling down.  The image plays out as the screen is redrawn   
          with the next 'page' of the image.   
       o  Overstrike Art - It contains carriage returns without line feeds   
          at times. The print head can overstrike a line on the paper that   
          has already been printed on.  This allows for darkening, and for   
          placing different characters at the same place on the paper.   
          This kind of art is obviously only printed.
