Frequently Asked Questions
- What is zigzag text?
- Characters are placed on alternating rows in a diagonal pattern: first char row 0, second row 1, then back to 0, etc. Reading row by row gives the zigzag layout.
- How many rows?
- You choose the number of rows (e.g. 2 = two lines alternating; 3 = three lines in a sawtooth). More rows = steeper zigzag.
- Use case?
- Decorative layout, puzzles, or encoding. Decoding means reading rows in order to get the original order of characters (with row indices).
