Textfx

Textfx is a Python library for creating dynamic and visually engaging text effects. It offers multiple functions to display text with unique animations and styles — perfect for enhancing console-based projects.

Features

• Typing Effect: Simulates the effect of typing text character by character.
• Scramble Effect: Displays random characters that gradually transform into the actual text.
• Wave Text: Makes the text move in a wave-like pattern.
• Untyping Effect: Gradually erases text character by character.
• Unscramble Effect: The text gradually scrambles into random characters until it disappears.
• Unwave Text: The text starts in a wave-like pattern and gradually stabilizes.
• Loading: Display a loading animation using a customizable animation. New!
• ✅ Color Support: All effects now support colored text using termcolor.

Installation

You can install it with:

pip install textfx

Or clone this repository and use the textfx.py file directly in your project:

git clone https://github.com/iliakarimi/textfx.git
cd textfx
pip install -r requirements.txt

Then, import the required functions in your Python script:

from textfx import typeeffect, scrameffect, wavetext, untypeeffect, unscrameffect, unwavetext, Loading

Usage

Typing Effect

from textfx import typeeffect
typeeffect("Hello, world!", color="cyan", delay=0.1)

Scramble Effect

from textfx import scrameffect
scrameffect("Scrambled Text", color="green", delay=0.1)

Wave Text

from textfx import wavetext
wavetext("Wave Text", color="yellow", delay=0.1)

Untyping Effect

from textfx import untypeeffect
untypeeffect("Erasing Text", color="gray", delay=0.1)

from textfx import unscrameffect
unscrameffect("Glitching Away", color="blue", delay=0.1)

Unwave Text

unwavetext("Steadying Waves", color="red", delay=0.1)

Loading

from textfx import Loading

with Loading("Processing..."):
    # do something
    time.sleep(5)

You can customize the spinner animation:

Loading(animation=".oO@* ")

Or change the text and delay:

Loading(message="Waiting", animation="|/-\\", delay=0.2, end_message="Finished!")

🎨 Color Options

All effects support colored text using the color parameter.

You can choose from the following colors:

grey, red, green, yellow, blue, magenta, cyan, white

Example:

typeeffect("This is red text!", color="red", delay=0.1)

💡 Color support may depend on your terminal. Most modern terminals support termcolor outputs.
