gradient-cli 0.1.9

A CLI for maxludden/maxgradient

​

​ ​ ​ ​ ​

​

MaxGradient automates the printing gradient colored text to the console. It's built upon the great rich library. It contains a Console that can serve as a drop in replacement for rich.rich.Console and has an expanded Color class which can parse X11 color names on top of rich's standard colors. MaxGradient is a work in progress and I'm open to any suggestions or contributions.

​

Installation

MaxGradient can be installed from PyPi using your favorite package manager:

PDM (Recommended)

pdm add maxgradient

Pip

pip install maxgradient

Usage

Basic Usage

The basic usage is to create a console object and use it to print gradient text:

import maxgradient as mg

console = mg.Console()
console.gradient("Hello, World!")

Gradient

You may also instantiate a Gradient Object. The Gradient class is a subclass of the rich.text.Text class, and can be used in the same way. The Gradient class has a few extra arguments available though.

class Gradient(rich.rich.Text):
    """Text with gradient color / style."""

    def __init__ (
        ext: Optional[str | Text] = "",
        colors: Optional[str|List[Color | Tuple | str]] = None,
        rainbow: bool = False,
        invert: bool = False,
        hues: Optional[int] = None,
        color_sample: bool = False,
        style: StyleType = Style.null(),
        *,
        # The arguments below are used directly by Text
        # so I won't cover them here. If you have
        # questions check out the rich documentation.
        justify: Optional[JustifyMethod] = None,
        overflow: Optional[OverflowMethod] = None,
        no_wrap: Optional[bool] = None,
        end: str = "\n",
        tab_size: Optional[int] = 8,
        spans: Optional[List[Span]] = None,) -> None:

The Gradient class can utilize the above arguments to get a plethora of different gradients.

Color

The final main component of MaxGradient is expanding the rich.color.Color class. The MaxGradient .Color class can still parse and utilize the rich.color.Color's standard colors but in addition to Hex and RGB colors, it can also parse RGB Tuples as well as X11 color names. I've also included the colors that MaxGradient uses to create random gradients from for convenience. The follow are the available named colors as well as there hex and rgb colors:

Color Examples

import maxgradient as mg

console = mg.Console()
console.print("[bold green]This is a a vibrant green color!")
