Colored text

Color some text easily.

text = "Hello world!"
print(Colors.blue + text)
# or
print(Colorate.Color(Colors.blue, text, True))

Colors.blue = color
text = text to be colored
True = reset color after (otherwise it will continue printing characters in the specified color)

Available functions are:

• Color (simply color some text)
• Error (make an error effect)

Colored text with fade effect

Make a fade effect.

from visuals import Colors, Fade
print(Fade.Horizontal(Colors.yellow_to_red, "Hello, Welcome to visuals.", 1))

Colors.yellow_to_red = color
Fade.Vertical = mode
1 = intensity (default=1)

Available effects are:

• Vertical
• Horizontal
• Diagonal
• DiagonalBackwards

Writing text with fade effect

To print a text using writing and fade effect you can use the visuals.Write function.

from visuals import Write, Colors

name = Write.Input("Enter your name -> ", Colors.red_to_purple, interval=0.0025)
Write.Print(f"Nice to meet you, {name}!", Colors.blue_to_green, interval=0.05)

There are 2 functions:

Write.Print: prints the text to the terminal with chosen effects
Write.Input: same as Write.Print but adds an input at the end

There are 6 arguments:

text: the text to be written to the terminal
color: the color you want for the text
interval: the interval of the writing effect
hide_cursor: whether you want the cursor to be hidden or not
end: the end color, the default is white
input_color (only for Write.Input): the color of the input
