Feature Request: Different "Character sets"

[timfi]

Description

One "nice to have" feature could be the addition of matrices that use other character sets for rendering. One nice set could be ▖▗▘▝▀▄▌▐▚▞▙▛▜▟█, i.e. a 2x2 grid per character.

This could be accomplished by extracting all the character set dependent code into a subclass and leave an ABC that makes use of __getitem__, __setitem__, __init__, and render provided by the subclass.

Code

from dotmatrix import BlockMatrix

m = BlockMatrix(16, 8)

m.rectangle((0, 0), (15, 7))

print(m.render())

Output

▛▀▀▀▀▀▀▜
