# Rich Pixels

A Rich-compatible library for writing pixel images and other colourful grids to the
terminal.



## Installation

Get `rich-pixels` from PyPI.

```
pip install rich-pixels
```

## Basic Usage

### Images

#### Image from a file

You can load an image file from a path using `from_image_path`:

```python
from rich_pixels import Pixels
from rich.console import Console

console = Console()
pixels = Pixels.from_image_path("pokemon/bulbasaur.png")
console.print(pixels)
```

#### Pillow image object

You can create a PIL image object yourself and pass it in to `from_image`.

```python
from rich_pixels import Pixels
from rich.console import Console
from PIL import Image

console = Console()

with Image.open("path/to/image.png") as image:
pixels = Pixels.from_image(image)

console.print(pixels)
```

Using this approach means you can modify your PIL `Image` beforehard.

#### ASCII Art

You can quickly build shapes using a tool like [asciiflow](https://asciiflow.com), and
apply styles the ASCII characters. This provides a quick way of sketching out shapes.

```python
from rich_pixels import Pixels
from rich.console import Console

console = Console()

# Draw your shapes using any character you want
grid = """\
xx xx
ox ox
Ox Ox
xx xx
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"""

# Map characters to different characters/styles
mapping = {
"x": Segment(" ", Style.parse("yellow on yellow")),
"o": Segment(" ", Style.parse("on white")),
"O": Segment(" ", Style.parse("on blue")),
}

pixels = Pixels.from_ascii(grid, mapping)
console.print(pixels)
```

### Using with Textual

`Pixels` can be integrated into [Textual](https://github.com/Textualize/textual)
applications just like any other Rich renderable.
