Package: maxgradient
MaxGradientMaxGradient automates printing gradient colored text to the console. It's built upon the greatrich library. It contains two new Rich Renderables that can be printed by arich.console.Consoleobject:Gradient- A Rich Renderable that prints Text with a gradient of colors to the console.GradientRule- A Rich Renderable that prints a horizontal rule to the console in gradient color.MaxGradient also expands therich.color.Colorclass to include generating colors from CSS3 named colors, as well as 3 digit hex color codes.MaxGradient is a work in progress. It is currently in version 0.2.19. It is not yet feature complete, but it is usable. I am currently working on adding more features and improving the code. If you have any suggestions, please feel free to open an issue onGitHub.InstallationMaxGradient can be installed from PyPi using your favorite python package manager:PDM (Recommended)pdmaddmaxgradientPIPpipinstallmaxgradientUsageQuick StartThe basic usage of MaxGradient is as a RichRenderable. Like any other RichRenderable, it can be printed to the console using theprint()method of arich.console.Console()object.Example#importsfromrich.consoleimportConsolefrommaxgradientimportGradientconsole=Console()# Initialize a consoleconsole.print(Gradient("Hello, World!",justify="center")# Print a gradient)Gradient with ColorMaxGradient easily make random gradients that require no more than the text you wish to color, it can also be used to make gradients with specific colors. Thegradient()method takes a string of text as well as a list of colors. The number of colors in the list determines the number of colors in the gradient. The gradient will be evenly distributed between the colors in the list. The gradient will be applied to the text in the order it is given in the list.MaxGradient accepts the following ascolor names (magenta,purple,violet,blue,dogerblue,deepskyblue,lightskyblue,cyan,springgreen,lime,greenyellow,yellow,orange,darkorange,red,deeppink,hotpink)hex color codes (3-digit ->#f0f, 6-digit ->#ff00ff)rgb color codesCSS3 named colorsas well as any colors from rich's standard library.Let's take a look at some examples:Example 1fromrich.conosleimportConsolefrommaxgradientimportGradientconsole=Console()console.print(Gradient("This gradient contains the colors: magenta, violet, and purple.",colors=["magenta","violet","purple"]))Example 2You are not just stuck with ROY G BIV colors, you can use any colors you want. Let's make a gradient with the colors: magenta, violet, purple, dodgerblue, deepskyblue, lightskyblue, and cyan.console.print(Gradient("This gradient contains the colors: magenta, violet, purple, blue, dodgerblue, and cyan.",colors=["rgb(255,0,255)",# rgb | magenta"violet",# named (#af00ff)"#5f00ff",# hex | purple"blue",# another named"rgb(0,85,255)",# rgb | dodWilWgerblue"cyan"# and another]))Gradient RuleMaxGradient also includes a GradientRule. The GradientRule is a Rich Renderable that prints a horizontal rule to the console in gradient color. It can be used to separate sections of text in a gradient colored console output.The GradientRule is currently initialized with random colors and does not at the momement allow for custimization of these colors.It does however allow the user to specify the thickness of the rule. The thickness is specified by thethicknesskeyword argument. The thickeness can be specified as the'thin','medium', or'thick'. The default thickness is 'medium'.fromrich.consoleimportConsolefrommaxgradientimportGradientRuleconsole=Console()console.print("[u b #ffffff]Rule Examples[/]",justify="center")console.line()console.print(GradientRule(title=f"{title}",thickness="thin",align="left"))console.line()console.print(GradientRule(title="Thin Gradient Rule",gradient=True,thickness="thin",align="center",))console.line()console.print(GradientRule(title="Medium Gradient Rule",gradient=True,align="right"))console.line()console.print(GradientRule(title="Medium Left-aligned Non-gradient Rule",gradient=False,thickness="medium",align="left",))console.line()console.print(GradientRule(title="Medium Right-aligned Gradient Rule",align="right"))console.line()console.print(GradientRule("Thick Gradient Rule",thickness="thick"))Created byMax Ludden
