Animated unicode plot inside Term

[zsoerenm]

I'd like to have an animated Unicode plots inside Term.
Would something like the following be possible in Term?

Hi,

The way the example animation you've sent is done is to repeatedly: 1) clear out the terminal and 2) print an updated display.
You can do the same with anything you'd print to the REPL, including things made with term:

using Term
import Term.Consoles: clear

make_p(i) = Panel("Iteration $i", fit=true)

for i in 1:10
    clear()
    make_p(i) |> print
    sleep(1)
end

This might look a bit glitchy if the function in the loop takes a while or if actually printing the content takes a while (e.g. if Term needs to do a lot of work). One solution might be to use sprint or string to first generate some content and then call clear(); print(content) to avoid delays between clearing and printing.

Hope this help.

Ps: I will move this to a discussion to make it more discoverable for other people interested in similar things.
