patterncraft 0.1.0

Star text patterncraft: triangle, square, rectangle, hollow square, and more.

patterncraft

Text patterncraft (triangle, square, rectangle, hollow square, and more). Use letters, digits, or any string as a repeating fill instead of only *.

Install

After this package is on PyPI:

pip install patterncraft

Until you publish it, install from a clone of this repo:

cd path/to/open-contributions
pip install .

Use

from patterncraft import *

print(star(6))
print(star(6, fill="abcd"))
print(star(6, fill="123"))
print(triangle(4))
print(right_triangle(4))
print(inverted_triangle(4))
print(odd_numbers(4))
print(even_numbers(4))
print(square(3))
print(rectangle(6, 2))
print(hollow_square(5))
print(diamond(4))
print(rhombus(4))
print(pascal(6))

Shorter names: inv_tri (same as inverted_triangle), pascal (same as pascal_triangle). Optional: print(star(6, fill="ab")).

Optional keyword fill on character shapes (default "*"), e.g. print(star(6, fill="ab")). Numeric patterncraft (odd_numbers, even_numbers, pascal / pascal_triangle) ignore fill.

You can also use patterncraft("diamond", 4) if you prefer a string name; direct functions are shorter for one-line print calls.
