Install
Install genaa by using pip.
pip install genaa
Now genaa is supporting Python 2.7 and 3.3.
Basic Usage
genaa has some sub-commands to render various ASCII Arts:
box
block
genaa box is the most basic and simple feature. It can render a block containing text input by user:
$ genaa box --text Hello! +--------+ | Hello! | +--------+
genaa block is a command to render some free shape blocks. It takes some ‘dots’ and translate it to ASCII Art blocks. This example show you how to create a well-known TETRIS block from command line:
$ genaa block --text ' > *** > * ' +-----+ | | +-+ +-+ | | +-+
As filter
Above examples are used as one of simple command line tools, using –text argument. But, genaa usually behaves as a filter command, like this:
$ echo -en 'Hello world!\nThis is genaa' | genaa box +---------------+ | Hello world! | | This is genaa | +---------------+
Generally, it is recommended to use from some editors. Most editors has a feature to pass the selected text to some shell command and input returned value. On Emacs, you can use ‘shell-command-on-region’.
genaa box
You can specify these arguments to genaa box:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-t TEXT, --text TEXT Passing text by argument into box
-W WIDTH, --width WIDTH
-H HEIGHT, --height HEIGHT
-s {ccomment,ascii,hash,simple}, --style {ccomment,ascii,hash,simple}
-l, --list Displaying examples for each styles
–width and –height
By default, genaa box command render the box with automatically specified width/height. But, you can specify these width and height of the box manually, like this:
$ echo -en 'Hello world!\nThis is genaa' | genaa box --width=20 --height=3 +----------------------+ | Hello world! | | This is genaa | | | +----------------------+
–style
This example is using hash style which is used as comment block in Python:
$ echo -en 'Hello world!\nThis is genaa' | genaa box --style=hash ################# # Hello world! # # This is genaa # #################
–list
The list of styles are on genaa box –list command:
$ genaa box --list ascii: +-----------------------+ | Hello. | | How about this style? | +-----------------------+ ccomment: /************************ * Hello. * * How about this style? * ************************/ hash: #########################
–align
genaa box command put the text at the left side of the box. It also supports putting the text on center and right:
genaa box --align=center --text=Hello --width=20 +----------------------+ | Hello | +----------------------+
genaa block
You can specify these arguments to genaa block:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-t TEXT, --text TEXT Passing text by argument into block
-s {ascii,simple}, --style {ascii,simple}
-l, --list Displaying examples for each styles
–style
This example is using simple style. You can see this clearly by some mono-space fonts:
$ genaa block --style=simple ** * * * ┌───┐ │ │ │ ┌─┼─┐ │ │ │ │ └─┼─┼─┘ │ │ └─┘
–list
The list of styles are on genaa block –list command:
$ genaa block --list
