originally ascii art graphics library for ssh terminal,
but expanded to include scientific visualization.

this package has 2 main files:
  asciiporn/__init__.py ## initialize custom import hook to load main.py
  asciiporn/main.py     ## contains EVERYTHING

REQUIREMENTS:
  posix os
  Python 2.6
  Python Imaging Library  http://www.pythonware.com/products/pil
  numpy                   http://www.scipy.org/Download

INSTALL:
  python setup.py build
  python setup.py install
  python setup.py dev --quicktest

USAGE:
  $ python setup.py dev --quicktest
    render color image in shell terminal &
    plot some scientific functions as well



  >>> from asciiporn import *

  >>> print( img2txt("filename") )
    display color image from gif, jpg, bmp, ... to screen.
    only works if u have Python Imaging Library installed

  >>> help(img2txt.load)
    display img2txt options



  >>> plot(ft = lambda t: cos(t), tmin = 0, tmax = 16)
    plot cos(t) for t = [0, 16]

  >>> plot(ft = [cos, sin], tmin = 0, tmax = 16)
    plot 2 functions, cos & sin

  >>> plot( y = [1.5, 2.5, 3.5], t = [0, 1, 2] )
    plot datapoints (y, t) = (1.5, 0), (2.5, 1), (3.5, 2)

  >>> f = lambda t, z: sin( t*(2*pi + z) ) * (0.5 + z) - z
  >>> plot3d(ftz = ftz, tmin = 0, tmax = 16, zmin = 0, zmax = 1)
    plot f in 3d using specified ranges for t & z

  >>> help(plot.__call__)
  >>> help(dataZYT.__new__)
    display plot options



  >>> fitpoly.test()
    test asciiporn's polynomial fitting routine
    peruse fitpoly.test in asciiporn/main.py for usage

  >>> fft2d.test()
    test asciiporn's cosine fitting routine
    peruse fft2d.test in asciiporn/main.py for usage
