Textual-Pyfiglet¶

Textual-PyFiglet is an implementation of PyFiglet for Textual.

It provides a FigletWidget which makes it easy to add ASCII banners with colors and animating gradients.

This library is related to Rich-Pyfiglet, as well as utilizes Textual-Coloromatic to provide the Color/animation abilities.

Features¶

Full integration of Pyfiglet into Textual. Change the text or the font in real time - This can be connected to user input or modified programmatically.
Color system built on Textual's color system. Thus, it can display any color in the truecolor/16-bit spectrum, and can take common formats such as hex code and RGB, or just a huge variety of named colors.
Make a gradient automatically between any two colors.
Animation system that's simple to use. Just make your gradient and toggle it on/off. It can also be started or stopped in real-time.
The auto-size mode will re-size the widget with the new rendered ASCII output in real-time. It can also wrap to the parent container and be made to resize with your terminal.
Animation settings can be modified to get different effects. Set a low amount of colors and a low speed for a very old-school retro look, set it to a high amount of colors and a high speed for a very smooth animation.
The fonts are type-hinted to give you auto-completion in your code editor, eliminating the need to manually check what fonts are available.
Included demo app to showcase the features.

If you have uv or pipx, you can immediately try the demo app:
