**NbCmdIO** is a powerful Python library that transforms ordinary command-line terminals into vibrant visual canvases and robust interactive platforms! Say goodbye to monotonous black-and-white outputs and welcome the world of true RGB colors; farewell to clunky text interfaces and embrace precise cursor control and input capture capabilities.

**Keywords**：Terminal, CSI escape sequence, print, colorful, input, cursor, draw, Image, Gif

## 🌟 Core Features

### ⚡ Chainable Calls

- Set cursor positions and styles anytime, anywhere—quick, convenient, and easy to read!

```python
prt[row, col].bold().fg_red("text")
```

### 🎨 True-Color RGB Terminal Styling

- Supports 24 bit RGB and HEX formats for foreground and background colors
- Includes default colors: Black, Red, Green, etc.
- Supports effects like Bold, Underline, Italics, etc.
- True-color image display, with each character representing two pixels for enhanced resolution

- Displays ASCII grayscale images

### 🖱️ Character-Level Cursor Control

- Precise character-level cursor positioning
- Save/restore cursor positions
- Get cursor position

### 📦 Dynamic Area Management

- Create independently updatable regions
- Supports nested regions

### ⌨️ Input Capture (In Progress)

- Single-key unbuffered reading
- Shortcut combination detection

## 🚀 Quick Start

### Installation

```bash
pip install nbcmdio
```

### Basic Usage

- Command Line Usage:

```bash
# clear screen and draw a image
prt cls drawImage "path/to/image/file"

# Print in foreground color #CCF, bold and center-aligned
prt fg_hex CCF bold alignCenter "Hello!"

# List all available functions
prt list

# Get help of function
prt help <function>
```

- Python Usage:

```python
from nbcmdio import prt

def NbCmdIO():
    lavender = "#ccf"
    # Clear screen and set terminal title
    prt.cls().setTitle("NbCmdIO")
    # On line 2, bold, blue text, center-aligned with gradient background
    title = "        NbCmdIO  by  Cipen        "
    prt[2].bold().fg_hex("#00f").gotoCenterOffset(getStringWidth(title), 2)
    prt.drawHGrad((230, 92, 0), (249, 212, 35), string=title)
    WIDTH = 40
    HEIGHT = 10
    center_offset = (prt.size_col - WIDTH) // 2
    # Draw a rectangle with foreground #CCF at (3, center_offset) and set the new region to this rectangle
    prt.fg_hex(lavender)[3, center_offset].drawRect(HEIGHT, WIDTH)
    prt.fg_blue()[0, 3](" NbCmdIO ").bold()[0, WIDTH - 8](prt.__version__)
    b2 = "  "
    # Enter context (styles aren't auto-reset inside), add square color blocks at the 4 corners
    with prt.bg_hex(lavender):
        prt[1, 1](b2)[1, WIDTH - 1](b2)
        prt[HEIGHT, 1](b2)[HEIGHT, WIDTH - 1](b2)
    # Add styles within strings (ensure characters are defined separately, not directly in chain calls)
    line1 = f"Welcome to {prt.bold().bg_hex(lavender).fg_hex('#000')} NbCmdIO "
    line2 = "Print your string colorfully!"
    # Save and reuse styles (includes position, color, effects)
    head_style = prt.fg_red().bold().makeStyle()
    prt[1].use(head_style).alignCenter(line1)# Use style in new region's first line for centered text
    prt[2].use(head_style).alignCenter(line2)
    prt[3, 3].fg_grey().drawHLine(WIDTH - 4)
  
    text = r"""

    lines = text.splitlines()
    chr1 = [l[:8] for l in lines]
    chr2 = [l[8:18] for l in lines]
    chr3 = [l[18:] for l in lines]
    prt.fg_red().bold()[4, 8].printLines(chr1)
    prt.fg_green().bold()[4, 16].printLines(chr2)
    prt.fg_blue().bold()[4, 25].printLines(chr3)
  
    # Move cursor to next line in region, then exit
    prt[HEIGHT + 1].setOriginTerm().end()
    prt.gotoCenterOffset(50)
    # Draw a gradient bar, move down 2 lines, test terminal color support
    prt.drawHGrad((51, 101, 211), (190, 240, 72), 50).end(2)
    prt.test().end()
