rich-gradient 0.1.1

Add your description here

This library is a wrapper of the great rich library that extends rich.text.Text to allow for the easy generation gradient text from the user inputed colors or randomly if not colors are presented.

Borrowing from pydantic-Looextra-types' Color class, rich_gradient extends the rich standard colors to include:

• 3 or 6 digit hex code (e.g. #f00 or #ff0000)
• RGB color codes (e.g. rgb(255, 0, 0))
• RGB tuples (e.g. (255, 0, 0))
• CSS3 Color Names (e.g. red)

Usage

Basic Gradient Example

To print a simple gradient just substitue the Gradient class for the Text class in the rich library.

from rich.console import Console
from rich_gradient import Gradient

console = Console()
console.print(Gradient("Hello, World!")

Gradient with Specific Colors

If you want a bit more control of the gradient, you can specify the colors you want to use in the gradient by passing them as a list of colors to the colors parameter.

Color Formats

Color can be parsed from a variety of formats including:

Example Code

console.print(
    Gradient(
        "This a gradient with specific colors.",
        colors=["red", "#ff9900", "#ff0", "Lime"],
        justify="center"
    )
)

Specific Color Gradient Result:

Rainbow Gradient Example

If four colors isn't enough, you can use the 'rainbow' parameter to generate a rainbow gradient that spans the entire spectrum of colors randomly.

console.print(
    Gradient(
        "This is a rainbow gradient.",
        rainbow=True,
        justify="center"
    )
)

*The rainbow gradient is generated randomly each time the code is run.

---

Still inherits from rich.text.Text

Since Gradient is a subclass of Text, you can still use all the same methods and properties as you would with Text.

console.print(
    Gradient(
        "This is an underlined rainbow gradient.",
        rainbow=True,
        style="underline"
    ),
    justify="center"
)
console.line()
console.print(
    Gradient(
        "This is a bold italic gradient.",
        style="bold italic"
    ),
    justify="center"
)
console.line()
