pixelterm 1.0.5

Terminal Graphics Rendering Library

Pixelterm

Render images, shapes, and videos in the terminal

Pixelterm allows you to draw on modern terminal windows using "pixels" instead of just characters.

The "pixels" Pixelterm uses are exactly 1 character wide and 1/2 of a character tall.

Features

• Draw lines, boxes, custom fonts*, images, and gradients on "frames" (representations of pixels)
• Optimized rendering between frames (in case of animations/videos)
• Flexible coloring/styling utility for printing text with any foreground/background color and style (bold, italic, underline, etc.)

*All custom fonts must be monospaced, and only one is provided by default. For details on how to create your own, see pixelterm/font.py. Note that these fonts will be relatively large because of the low number of pixels that can fit on a terminal screen.
