Pixelterm allows you to draw on modern terminal windows using "pixels" instead of just characters.
The "pixels" Pixelterm uses are exactly 1 character wide and 1/2 of a character tall.
- Draw lines, boxes, custom fonts*, images, and gradients on "frames" (representations of pixels)
- Optimized rendering between frames (in case of animations/videos)
- Flexible coloring/styling utility for printing text with any foreground/background color and style (bold, italic, underline, etc.)
*All custom fonts must be monospaced, and only one is provided by default. For details on how to create your own, see pixelterm/font.py. Note that these fonts will be relatively large because of the low number of pixels that can fit on a terminal screen.
pip install pixelterm
