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)

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)

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)
