Treat strings like Items on a 2D Canvas.

Treat strings like Items on a 2D Canvas

With this primitive library you can do things like this:

from ascii_canvas.canvas import Canvas
from ascii_canvas.item import Item, Line

canvas = Canvas()

rect_a = Item('+-----+\n|Hello|\n+-----+', position=[0, 0])
rect_b = Item('+-----+\n|World|\n+-----+', position=[16, 5])
rect_c = Item('+-+\n|!|\n+-+', position=[32, 0])
line_a = Line(start=[7, 1], end=[15, 6])
line_b = Line(start=[23, 6], end=[31, 1])

canvas.add_item(rect_a)
canvas.add_item(rect_b)
canvas.add_item(rect_c)
canvas.add_item(line_a)
canvas.add_item(line_b)
print(canvas.draw())

Which results in this output:

    0+-----+                         +-+
    1|Hello|----+               +----|!|
    2+-----+    |               |    +-+
    3           |               |
    4           |               |
    5           |    +-----+    |
    6           +----|World|----+
    7                +-----+
