Figlet Glossary

Figlet4s defines several concepts that broadly correspond to the ones defined in the The FIGfont Version 2 FIGfont and FIGdriver Standard but in this library they might assume a more specific meaning.

FIGfont

FIGcharacter

It’s a single FIGlet character, part of a FIGfont, that maps a single Char to its FIGlet representation, and it’s composed of SubLines/SubColumns.

FIGheader

FIGLettering Font file header that contains the raw configuration settings for the FIGfont.

FIGure

A FIGure is String rendered with a specific FIGfont ultimately built by concatenating and merging FIGcharacters following a specific layout.

SubLine and SubColumn

Represents the SubLines/SubColumns in Figlet which are the String that compose each line/column of the FIGure or of a FIGcharacter.
