map_text_chars parses text 
(from a text string x) 
into a table that contains a row for each character 
and x/y-coordinates corresponding to the character positions in x.
map_text_chars(x, flip_y = FALSE)The text string(s) to map (required). 
If length(x) > 1, elements are mapped to different lines 
(i.e., y-coordinates).
Boolean: Should y-coordinates be flipped, 
so that the lowest line in the text file becomes y = 1, 
and the top line in the text file becomes y = n_lines? 
Default: flip_y = FALSE.
A data frame with 3 variables: 
Each character's x- and y-coordinates (from top to bottom)  
and a variable char for the character at this coordinate.
map_text_chars creates a data frame with 3 variables: 
Each character's x- and y-coordinates (from top to bottom)  
and a variable char for the character at these coordinates.
Note that map_text_chars was originally a part of 
read_ascii, but has been separated to 
enable independent access to separate functionalities.
Note that map_text_chars is replaced by the simpler 
map_text_coord function.
read_ascii for parsing text from file or user input;  
plot_chars for a character plotting function.
