    It is a very useful application. It would be even better if you could add the lower case letters "c,h,i,n,o,r,t,u" and the upper case letters "H,L,P". I have used these letters in multiple digit displays for interpreting information displayed.

    I had made something like this a few years ago.
    This is V1.0.


    V2.0 makes detailed output.

    Thank you Dave. I feel happy to know that you find the tool very useful.

    You have given me a good idea to come out with Version 2 of the tool. In addition to the letters you have mentioned, I am thinking of including certain patterns too, of course keeping in mind the constraint that there cannot be any diagonal lines.

    I almost forgot, an upper case "U" would also be nice. That way one can spell "FUEL" or "FULL". Looking forward to the new version...

    Well, you can also add these to the list of upper case letters: G, J, O and S. I have seen letter 'M' represented by segments e, a and c. It's an approximation, but not a bad one; by the same logic, it's also possible to represent 'W' by the segments f, d and b.
