TextFiglet

TextFiglet renders large banner text using a FIGlet font.

TextFiglet

Basic usage

new TextFiglet("Hello")
{
    Font = FigletFont.Block,
};

Fonts

FIGlet fonts are represented by FigletFont (namespace XenoAtom.Terminal.UI.Figlet).

  • Use FigletFont.Block for a built-in demo font.
  • Use embedded fonts from FigletPredefinedFont (e.g. FigletPredefinedFont.Standard, FigletPredefinedFont.Slant).
  • Load a .flf font from a stream with FigletFont.Load(...).

Defaults

  • Default alignment: HorizontalAlignment = Align.Start, VerticalAlignment = Align.Start

Styling

Use TextFigletStyle to change the foreground/background and decorations:

new TextFiglet("XenoAtom")
    .Style(TextFigletStyle.Default with { TextStyle = CellStyle.None | TextStyle.Bold });

Use brushes for gradients:

new TextFiglet("XenoAtom")
    .Style(TextFigletStyle.Default with
    {
        ForegroundBrush = Brush.LinearGradient(
            new GradientPoint(0f, 0f),
            new GradientPoint(1f, 1f),
            [
                new GradientStop(0f, Colors.DeepSkyBlue),
                new GradientStop(0.5f, Colors.White),
                new GradientStop(1f, Colors.MediumPurple),
            ]),
    });
