| Box | |
| === | |
| Rich has a number of constants that set the box characters used to draw tables and panels. To select a box style import one of the constants below from ``rich.box``. For example:: | |
| from rich import box | |
| table = Table(box=box.SQUARE) | |
| .. note:: | |
| Some of the box drawing characters will not display correctly on Windows legacy terminal (cmd.exe) with *raster* fonts, and are disabled by default. If you want the full range of box options on Windows legacy terminal, use a *truetype* font and set the ``safe_box`` parameter on the Table class to ``False``. | |
| The following table is generated with this command:: | |
| python -m rich.box | |
