Banners with C++ for console app

Banners

Hi everyone! I've developed a simple code for printing banners in console using C++, very easy to use:

[code=cpp]
writer.PrintBig("¡HI CPLUSPLUS!");
[/code]

Or..

[code=cpp]
gprintf(writer.PrintBig("¡HI CPLUSPLUS!"),10,5);
[/code]

Output:

Easy, isn't it?

Here the project:

The console looks ugly, no matter what you do to it.
OP's program did a pretty good job.

Well done!

Hey, try printing the banner on the console using WinAPI functions. That's the next step.

Uh, why should he do that?
What he's got seems to work well.

I cannot see your code without registering on that forum, which I am not going to do (sorry).
So I cannot offer you any critique, if that was what you wanted.

Anyway, what you have done is a very good start. Nice!

Hey, gentleguy, glad to see you are as humble as ever.

Guess what? I know stuff about the console you wouldn't even think to ask about.
That there image is pretty neat. Too bad you cheated. (No? Prove it.)

Either way, it is no excuse to abuse the OP for his (successful) efforts to do something interesting with the console: format and arrange complex output onto a TTY with limited character support.
