| Columns | |
| ======= | |
| Rich can render text or other Rich renderables in neat columns with the :class:`~rich.columns.Columns` class. To use, construct a Columns instance with an iterable of renderables and print it to the Console. | |
| The following example is a very basic clone of the ``ls`` command in OSX / Linux to list directory contents:: | |
| import os | |
| import sys | |
| from rich import print | |
| from rich.columns import Columns | |
| if len(sys.argv) < 2: | |
| print("Usage: python columns.py DIRECTORY") | |
| else: | |
| directory = os.listdir(sys.argv[1]) | |
| columns = Columns(directory, equal=True, expand=True) | |
| print(columns) | |
| See `columns.py <https://github.com/willmcgugan/rich/blob/master/examples/columns.py>`_ for an example which outputs columns containing more than just text. | |
