PyTermUtils

---

PyTermUtils is a Python library that allows you to easily print colored text to the console/terminal. It provides a simple way to enhance the visual appeal of terminal output by using different colors and styles.

Features

---

• Print text in various colors
• Apply different text styles (bold, underline, etc.)
• Easy-to-use Package

Installation

---

You can install console via pip:

pip install console

Usage

---

Here are some examples of how to use console package in your project:

Basic Usage

from console import *

# Print text in bright red and Highlight in bright green (16 colors)
Console.Print16C("Bright Red", ConsoleColor.Bright_Red, 
                 ConsoleColor.Bright_Green, resetmode=ResetMode.ResetAll)

# Print text in Magenta and bold (256 colors)
Console.Print256C("Magenta", 90, textmode=TextMode.Bold)

# Print text in Magenta and Italic (rgb colors = 1,67,77,216)
Console.Printrgb("Red", (210, 0, 0), textmode=TextMode.Italic)

Available Colors

[!NOTE] Forground color -> Text color

Background color -> Highlight color

4 bits color (16 colors)

Sure! Here is a table for the 16 ANSI colors, which are often used in terminal applications for text coloring.

Color Name	fg code	bg code
Black	30	40
Red	31	41
Green	32	42
Yellow	33	43
Blue	34	44
Magenta	35	45
Cyan	36	46
White	37	47
Bright Black	90	100
Bright Red	91	101
Bright Green	92	102
Bright Yellow	93	103
Bright Blue	94	104
Bright Magenta	95	105
Bright Cyan	96	106
Bright White	97	107

To use these colors in a terminal, you use ANSI escape codes. The format for these codes is:

\e[<code>m or \033[<code>m

8 bits color (256 colors)

To use 8-bit colors in a terminal, the format of the escape code is:

\e[38;5;<color>m for foreground colors
\e[48;5;<color>m for background colors

24 bits color (True color) (8 bits each R-G-B)

24-bit color, also known as true color, allows for a much wider range of colors than 256-color ANSI. It uses 8 bits each for red, green, and blue components, allowing for 16,777,216 possible colors. This is particularly useful for applications requiring high color fidelity.

ANSI Code for 24-Bit Color To use 24-bit color in ANSI, you can use the following format:

Foreground Color: \033[38;2;R;G;Bm
Background Color: \033[48;2;R;G;Bm

Where R, G, and B are the red, green, and blue color values (0-255).

[!NOTE] All three(3) color mode of print have both foreground and background color.
