Interpolate/Resize Ascii Art in Python?
I Want to Resize Some Ascii Art. Say It Looks Like This: .. K. T. .A. I Want to Upscale It, by Some Number N, So It Will Look Like This (N=2). .. .Kk. .. .Kk...
I want to resize some ascii art. Say it looks like this:
..K
.T.
.A.
I want to upscale it, by some number n, so it will look like this (n=2)
....KK
....KK
..TT..
..TT..
..AA..
..AA..
One way I thought about doing this was to convert the text into a matrix of their ascii values and use some interpolation function to resize the matrix, and convert it back to text to achieve the desired result, but I have not been able to find a function that will do that for me.
What is the easiest way to do this. If it makes it simpler, you can assume that n is always 4. (Because in my current situation this is the scale I need)

Assuming you have a file test.txt with following content:
..K
.T.
.A.
The following code will read the file and prodcue an output file test_out.txt which contains horizontally and vertically multiplied characters, depending what you specify for N:
N = 4
with open('test.txt', 'r') as f:
with open('test_out.txt', 'w') as out_f:
for line in f:
# Repeat characters N times horizontally
output = "".join([N * c for c in line.strip()])
# Repeat lines N times vertically
for _ in range(N):
out_f.write(output + '\n')
Output (test_out.txt) for N = 2:
....KK
....KK
..TT..
..TT..
..AA..
..AA..
Output (test_out.txt) for N = 4:
........KKKK
........KKKK
........KKKK
........KKKK
....TTTT....
....TTTT....
....TTTT....
....TTTT....
....AAAA....
....AAAA....
....AAAA....
....AAAA....
