outfancy

Table printing and Line plotting in Terminal

what is it?

Outfancy is a Python 3.11+ library for printing tables in the terminal. It’s a quick way to visualize data when you don’t have a GUI, and it integrates easily into your programs. You can install it with pip and use it anywhere.

This was the first library I ever built—when I was 16 :). It’s been modernized to support modern Python versions, fix bugs, and improve performance, but the original style is still there: raw, exploratory teenage code.

installation

install with pip

pip install outfancy

features

• Quick printing of tables.
• LineChart printing with linear interpolation.
• customize the separator used, width, priority of printing for each column.
• rearrange the columns in real time.

• Do Oneline printing, useful for real-time applications (report in screen function).
• Add colors to the field of the tables.

usage

In the interpreter

Table.

import outfancy.table
table = outfancy.table.Table()
dataset = [(1, 'Marie'), (2, 'Joseph')]
print(table.render(dataset))

Chart.

import outfancy.chart

from math import sin
line_chart = outfancy.chart.LineChart()

dataset = [(i, sin(i)) for i in range(10)]
line_chart.plot(dataset)
print(line_chart.render(color=True))

To do (Colaboration is welcome)

• Translate code to english. (Translated) (the translation need revision from a native english speaker (I speak spanish).
• Improve y_interpolation function on outfancy.chart.LineChart Maybe add more kinds of charts on outfancy.chart. Maybe on outfancy.table:
  • Checking system on width parameter.
  • Option to cancel the automatical checking of width parameter.
