Patate is an ASCII art editor for terminals running in linux, inspired by REXPaint and Monodraw.
- Features are incomplete
- User guide is incomplete
- It is not tested
The terminal in the screenshots is XFCE Terminal with Monospace Regular font in Slackware Current (the only system I have with all the unicode glyphs in the interface (unicode 15), Gnome-terminal in Ubuntu 23.04 doesn't have all the glyphs).
