0.1.8 • Public • Published

This is a plugin for @techandsoftware/teletext, which uses a pixel art scaling algorithm to create a smooth rendition of teletext mosaic graphics. The scaling algorithm used is hqx.

The following image shows a page from Ceefax with normal rendering and with smoothed graphics on the right: A Ceefax page with a map of the UK in teletext blocky format and with smoothed graphics

Using

ES6 module

The easiest option is to use jsdelivr:

const module = await import('https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@techandsoftware/teletext-plugin-smooth-mosaic@latest/dist/teletext-plugin-smooth-mosaic.min.js');

// teletext is the @techandsoftware/teletext instance
teletext.registerViewPlugin(module.SmoothMosaicPlugin);

If installing from npm, you'll also need to use tooling like rollup to resolve the dependency for your browser.

import { SmoothMosaicPlugin } from '@techandsoftware/teletext-plugin-smooth-mosaic';
teletext.registerViewPlugin(SmoothMosaicPlugin);

As the module is fairly large, you could import dynamically:

const module = await import('@techandsoftware/teletext-plugin-smooth-mosaic');
teletext.registerViewPlugin(module.SmoothMosaicPlugin);

Non-ES6

If you want to support browsers that can't use ES6 modules, a UMD version is also available in the dist directory for importing with <script>. It exports the module in the global ttxsmooth. It's likely you'll also need to transpile the code for your target browsers.
