Scenes
Scenes is a small graphics and text layout tool for the Linux terminal. The only export option is the plain text save file that contains all of the data necessary for the application to load the image again. If you wish to export as an image file then you should take a screen shot.
Use
Start scenes by invoking the command with a file name.
scenes file_name
If the file exists then the image will be opened ready for editing, if the file doesn't exist then it will be created when you save. Scenes has two modes which can be changed between by pressing the tab key, these are text and draw . The following commands are available in both modes:
ctrl+s ~ Save file.
ctrl+q ~ Quit.
Draw mode
Draw mode is used for creating pictures. You move the cursor using the arrow keys and use the numbers 1 - 8 to insert a colour at that location. There is also a bucket fill tool.
1 - 9 ~ Add colour at location of cursor
qwerty ~ Bucket fill at location of cursor
Text mode
Text mode is for overlaying text onto an image. Simply move your cursor, using the arrow keys, to where you want it and type the text in. There is no formal support for new lines and tabs; text is just places on the screen where you want it.
Save format
The save format is a plane text file, it has the following format.
4,4 <- The xy size of the image saves, your terminal should be this size when you open it 1234 <- The colours of the background that were placed ( 1- 8 ) 5678 1234 5678 text <- The text on a grid, blank space filled with [SPACE] characters. text text text
