Highlight
- special texts
- errors
-
Create
-
Custom buttons or list bullet styles
-

- Multi-styled loading bars
- Percentage progress display
- Spinner progress display
- Random load bar
- Download bar

- Load bar
- Dark bar
- Random bar
- Circle bar
- Square bar
Progress bars are used to tell how far or how long a process has gone or taken and how much is left to be done
It highlighs the lenght of the total procress and the time taken to complete
Progress bars are best used when a user wants to iterate over a number of values and perform actions on those values while taking note of the average time elapsed and getting an idea of the time left for a process to reach completion.
Import package into python script or shell environment
from collpy import *
# or single imports
from collpy import Load_bar
# Using a custom load bar
# The lenght indicates the size of the fullbar or the number of
# single bars
loadbar = Load_bar(name="Processing...", length=20, style='$')
"""
The load bar can be loaded with the parameters absent
This makes the Load_bar use its default values
name = Loading...
length = 20
style = #
i.e
"""
loadbar = Load_bar()
# to iterate over an iterable, it is best if its length
# is a multiple of the the length of the bar
# For instance if we have a list of 30 items
# we could do
loadbar = Load_bar(length=10) # or 15 as the case may be
# to iterate over the list
# say
lst = [i for i in <whatever>]
# or
string = 'some long string to be worked on'
# or
val = 100
# we do
for i in loadbar.iter(lst): # or string or val
# do some work on i
The same method applies for the following But here, the styles are fixed and can't be changed
darkbar = Dark_bar()
circlebar = Circle_bar()
squarebar = Square_bar()
randombar = Random_bar()
# the name paramenter can be changed or left as default
randombar = Random_bar(name='Downloading... ')
# to use, call the iter method with the iterable
for i in random.iter(val):
# do some work on (i)
spinner = Spinner()
# the name paramenter can be changed or left as default
spinner = Spinner(name='Authenticating... ')
# to use, call the iter method with the iterable
# support for a next() method will be available in future versions
for i in spinner.iter(val):
# do some work on (i)
# the same process works for percent
percent = Percent()
Note: Highlights are best used with the print function
Available botton states ['x','=','+','*','~','$','#','@',' ','-']
Available colors ['red','green','orange','blue','purple','lightblue','cyan']
# to add button
# the ind parameter represents the index of the botton state on the list
# of available botton states. Remember indexing in python starts at 0
# default index is zero, default color is red
# default outer is True
# outer (a boolean) determines if the botton should have an outer shell
# or not i.e '[x]' or 'x'
but = button(ind=2,color='purple')
message = 'text text text'
print(but + message)
CHANGING TEXT COLOR
When text color is to be changed, the text to be printed out should be printed the the colpy cprint(txt=text,color='purple') method
This prints out the text with the intended color
# An example
# for a list of values to be printed out
for i in list:
cprint(txt=i, color='red')
This prints out the test in the specified color
CHANGING BACKGROUND
The background of a text can be changed to highligh parts of texts, show errors among other things
Available colors ['black','red','green','orange','blue','purple','lightblue','cyan']
# An example
err = 'List index out of range'
error = highlight(txt=err,color='red')
print('IndexError: ' + error + '....')
