Usage

Quick Start

1-Line art

⚠️ Some environments don't support all 1-Line arts

⚠️ ART 4.6 is the last version to support Bipartite art

1. art

This function return 1-line art as str in normal mode and raise artError in exception.

>>> from art import *
>>> art_1=art("coffee") # return art as str in normal mode
>>> print(art_1)
c[_]
>>> art_2=art("woman",number=2) # return multiple art as str
>>> print(art_2)
▓⚗_⚗▓ ▓⚗_⚗▓ 
>>> art("random") # random 1-line art mode
'(っ◕‿◕)っ '
>>> art("rand")   # random 1-line art mode
't(-_-t) '
>>> art(22,number=1) # raise artError
Traceback (most recent call last):
        ...
art.art.artError: The 'artname' type must be str.

2. aprint

This function print 1-line art in normal mode (return None) and raise artError in exception.

>>> aprint("butterfly") # print art
Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ 
>>> aprint("happy") # print art
 ۜ\(סּںסּَ` )/ۜ
>>> aprint("random") # random 1-line art mode
'(っ◕‿◕)っ '
>>> aprint("rand")   # random 1-line art mode
't(-_-t) '
>>> aprint("woman",number="22") # raise artError
Traceback (most recent call last):
        ...
art.art.artError: The 'number' type must be int.

3. randart

randart function is added in Version 2.2 as art("random") shortcut.

>>> randart()
'ዞᏜ℘℘Ꮍ ℬℹℛʈዞᗬᏜᎽ '
>>> randart()
'✌(◕‿-)✌ '
  • Note1 : Use ART_NAMES to access all arts name list (new in Version 4.2)
  • Note2 : Use NON_ASCII_ARTS to access all Non-ASCII arts name list (new in Version 4.6)
  • Note3 : Use ASCII_ARTS to access all ASCII arts name list (new in Version 5.7)

ASCII text

⚠️ Some fonts don't support all characters

⚠️ From Version 3.3 Non-ASCII fonts added (These fonts are not compatible with some environments)

⚠️ From Version 5.3 \n is used as the default line separator instead of \r\n (Use sep parameter if needed)

1. text2art

This function return ASCII text as str in normal mode and raise artError in exception.

>>> Art=text2art("art") # Return ASCII text (default font) and default chr_ignore=True 
>>> print(Art)
              _   
  __ _  _ __ | |_ 
 / _` || '__|| __|
| (_| || |   | |_ 
 \__,_||_|    \__|
                  
                     
>>> Art=text2art("art",font='block',chr_ignore=True) # Return ASCII text with block font
>>> print(Art)
