ANSI art
ANSI art is a form of text-mode computer art that became closely associated with dial-up bulletin board systems (BBSes), particularly during the early 1990s. It is related to ASCII art, but commonly uses the 8-bit IBM code page 437 character set, which includes box-drawing and block elements designed for character-cell graphics in addition to letters, numbers, and other symbols. ANSI art also uses escape sequences to control display attributes such as colour and cursor position. Under MS-DOS, these sequences could be interpreted by the optional ANSI.SYS device driver. Cursor-control sequences can also be used to produce animated text-mode works, commonly known as ANSImations. ANSI art and text files containing ANSI escape sequences commonly use the .ANS filename extension.
