JMMMML ``'' and you start drawing.. the characters drawn and the ones below them will be added/subtracted in their brightness value and the corresponding character will be placed there.. you may even be able to set opacity this would also make "invert" (also called "negative" possible for hand-refined asciified images if refining them in inverted mode is easier or if you would like it on a black surface with white writing and only have the ascii, not the original image ` ` 9MMM , /- /NM M, .-% N Jb MM, /-(, .
