Cyclic Writers
Such writers render repeatedly with or without some movement
Cyclic writers are dynamic writers that can be rendered individually by making a new class instance of a renderable class that implements the IStaticRenderable
interface that you can implement in your renderable class. Such writers can either be animated or static, and can be rendered either by calling their individual Render()
function one by one or by putting renderable classes to a container and calling that container's WriteContainer()
function from the ContainerTools
class.
Most of the renderables also support colors, in which you can set with UseColors
and their appropriate properties.
The following built-in cyclic writers are available:
Shapes
Circle
Arc
Ellipsis
Parallelogram
Rectangle
Square
Trapezoid
Triangle
Line

You can define a container by creating a new instance of the Container
class and adding some of the renderables that can be identified by their name. You can also set their positions by using the SetRenderablePosition()
function. If you don't want to use a container, you can use the RenderRenderable()
function or the WriteRenderable()
function to render a specific renderable in a specific position and to write the result to the console, respectively.
Some of the renderables may override the position variable for a renderable and may use the values from the renderables' properties.
In addition to that, you can manipulate with a renderable using the following functions:
IsRegistered()
: Checks to see if a renderable with this ID is registered or not.RemoveRenderable()
: Removes a renderable with this ID.GetRenderable()
: Gets a renderable instance from this ID.GetRenderablePosition()
: Gets a renderable instance position from this ID.GetRenderableNames()
: Gets an array of renderable IDs.
Shapes
You can render the following shapes directly to your console:
Circle
The circle writer allows you to write a circle to the console. It also allows you to either draw just an outline or the whole filled circle.
var shape = new Circle(20, 2, 1);
TextWriterRaw.WriteRaw(shape.Render());
var shape = new Circle(20, 2, 1, true);
TextWriterRaw.WriteRaw(shape.Render());
Arc
This writer allows you to write an arc directly to the console with some parameters, such as custom inner and outer radius, and angle ranges.
var arc = new Arc(20, 4, 2, ConsoleColors.Red)
{
InnerRadius = 6,
OuterRadius = 9,
AngleStart = 360,
AngleEnd = 100,
};
TextWriterRaw.WriteRaw(arc.Render());
var arc = new Arc(20, 4, 2, ConsoleColors.Red)
{
InnerRadius = 6,
OuterRadius = 9,
AngleStart = 360,
AngleEnd = 100,
};
var arc2 = new Arc(20, 4, 2, ConsoleColors.Lime)
{
InnerRadius = 6,
OuterRadius = 9,
AngleStart = 150,
AngleEnd = 300,
};
var arc3 = new Arc(20, 4, 2, ConsoleColors.Blue)
{
InnerRadius = 6,
OuterRadius = 9,
AngleStart = 100,
AngleEnd = 150,
};
TextWriterRaw.WriteRaw(arc.Render());
TextWriterRaw.WriteRaw(arc2.Render());
TextWriterRaw.WriteRaw(arc3.Render());
var arc = new Arc(20, 4, 2, ConsoleColors.Red)
{
InnerRadius = 0,
OuterRadius = 9,
AngleStart = 170,
AngleEnd = 120,
};
TextWriterRaw.WriteRaw(arc.Render());
var arc = new Arc(20, 4, 2, ConsoleColors.Red)
{
InnerRadius = 0,
OuterRadius = 9,
AngleStart = 170,
AngleEnd = 120,
};
var arc2 = new Arc(20, 4, 2, ConsoleColors.Aqua)
{
InnerRadius = 0,
OuterRadius = 9,
AngleStart = 120,
AngleEnd = 170,
};
TextWriterRaw.WriteRaw(arc.Render());
TextWriterRaw.WriteRaw(arc2.Render());
Ellipsis
This writer allows you to write an ellipsis directly to the console. It also allows you to either draw just an outline or the whole filled ellipsis.
var shape = new Ellipsis(20, 15, 2, 1);
TextWriterRaw.WriteRaw(shape.Render());
var shape = new Ellipsis(20, 15, 2, 1, true);
TextWriterRaw.WriteRaw(shape.Render());
Parallelogram
This writer allows you to write a parallelogram to the console directly. You can specify whether to draw just the outline or the whole shape.
var shape = new Parallelogram(20, 10, 2, 1);
TextWriterRaw.WriteRaw(shape.Render());
var shape = new Parallelogram(20, 10, 2, 1, true);
TextWriterRaw.WriteRaw(shape.Render());
Rectangle
This writer allows you to write a rectangle to the console directly. You can specify whether to print the whole shape or just the edges.
var shape = new Rectangle(20, 10, 2, 1);
TextWriterRaw.WriteRaw(shape.Render());
var shape = new Rectangle(20, 10, 2, 1, true);
TextWriterRaw.WriteRaw(shape.Render());
Square
This shape basically renders a rectangle, but with just the height specified. In the console, the width is multiplied by two due to the space widths taking up only one cell. It basically renders a square.
var shape = new Square(20, 2, 1);
TextWriterRaw.WriteRaw(shape.Render());
var shape = new Square(20, 2, 1, true);
TextWriterRaw.WriteRaw(shape.Render());
Trapezoid
This renders a trapezoid using a specified height, a top edge width, and a bottom edge width. You can also make it either render just the outline or as a full shape.
var shape = new Trapezoid(10, 30, 20, 2, 1);
TextWriterRaw.WriteRaw(shape.Render());
var shape = new Trapezoid(10, 30, 20, 2, 1, true);
TextWriterRaw.WriteRaw(shape.Render());
Triangle
This renders either an equilateral triangle or an isosceles triangle to the console.
var shape = new Triangle(30, 20, 2, 1);
TextWriterRaw.WriteRaw(shape.Render());
var shape = new Triangle(30, 20, 2, 1, true);
TextWriterRaw.WriteRaw(shape.Render());
Charts
Presenting numbers, especially when comparing device performance benchmark numbers, can sometimes be clearer if you use a chart instead of a table. In order to use charts, you must specify at least the chart elements that can be described as an array of ChartElement
class instances, which is usually set in the Elements
property. You can create a new element like this:
var element = new ChartElement()
{
Name = "Element 1",
Value = 12,
};
You must specify at least the name and the value to identify your element. However, elements can either have a random color (if the Color
property isn't specified) or a specific color. It can also be hidden from view by enabling the Hidden
property.
Breakdown chart
This gives you either a horizontal stick or a vertical stick that describes what part of the whole stick has taken per each item. This describes a breakdown of several items that you want to present.
var chart = new BreakdownChart()
{
Left = 1,
Top = 2,
InteriorWidth = 60,
Showcase = true,
Elements =
[
new()
{
Name = "C#",
Value = 80,
},
new()

Name = "Java",
Value = 13,
},
new()
{
Name = "C++",
Value = 6.9,
},
new()

Value = 6.9,
},
new()
{
Name = "Shell",
Value = 0.1,
},
]
};
TextWriterRaw.WriteRaw(chart.Render());
Bar chart
This gives you a horizontal bar chart that allows you to present various numbers in an amazing way for comparison.
var chart = new BarChart()
{
Left = 1,
Top = 2,
InteriorWidth = 60,
Showcase = true,
Elements =
[
new()
{
Name = "C#",
Value = 80,

Value = 13,
},
new()
{
Name = "C++",
Value = 6.9,
},
new()
{
Name = "Shell",
Value = 0.1,
},
]
};
TextWriterRaw.WriteRaw(chart.Render());
var chart = new BarChart()
{
Left = 1,
Top = 2,
InteriorWidth = 60,
Elements =
[
new()
{
Name = "C#",

Value = 0.1,
},
]
};
TextWriterRaw.WriteRaw(chart.Render());
var chart = new StickChart()
{
Left = 1,
Top = 2,
InteriorWidth = 60,
InteriorHeight = 20,
Elements =

TextWriterRaw.WriteRaw(chart.Render());
Text
The following writers write text in different ways to the console.
Aligned figlet text
This allows you to write an aligned Figlet text to the console.
var text = new AlignedFigletText(FigletFonts.GetByName("small"), "Left")
{
Settings = new()
{
Alignment = TextAlignment.Left
}
};
var text2 = new AlignedFigletText(FigletFonts.GetByName("small"), "Middle")

}
};
TextWriterRaw.WriteRaw(text.Render());
TextWriterRaw.WriteRaw(text2.Render());
TextWriterRaw.WriteRaw(text3.Render());
var text = new AlignedFigletText(FigletFonts.GetByName("small"), "Left")
{
ForegroundColor = ConsoleColors.Red,

}
};
var text3 = new AlignedFigletText(FigletFonts.GetByName("small"), "Right")
{
Rainbow = true,
Settings = new()
{
Alignment = TextAlignment.Right
}
};
TextWriterRaw.WriteRaw(text.Render());
TextWriterRaw.WriteRaw(text2.Render());
TextWriterRaw.WriteRaw(text3.Render());
Aligned text
This allows you to write an aligned text to the console.
var text = new AlignedText("Left")
{
Settings = new()
{
Alignment = TextAlignment.Left
}
};
var text2 = new AlignedText("Middle")
{

{
Alignment = TextAlignment.Right
}
};
TextWriterRaw.WriteRaw(text.Render());
TextWriterRaw.WriteRaw(text2.Render());
TextWriterRaw.WriteRaw(text3.Render());
Animated text
This allows you to write text with animations using frames to define how the text is going to move.
var animatedText = new AnimatedText()
{
TextFrames =
[
"H",
"He",
"Hel",
"Hell",
"Hello",
"Hello ",
"Hello W",
"Hello Wo",
"Hello Wor",

"Hello ",
"Hello ",
"Hell ",
"Hel ",
"He ",
"H ",
" ",
],
Left = 4,
Top = 2,
Width = 18,
};
for (int i = 0; i < animatedText.TextFrames.Length; i++)
{
TextWriterRaw.WriteRaw(animatedText.Render());
Thread.Sleep(100);
}
Bounded text
This allows you to write text with boundaries to the console to allow enough information to fit in a specified width and height. This works either according to lines, or according to column and row of the invisible caret.
var text = new BoundedText("This is a bounded text that wraps. This is a bounded text that wraps. This is a bounded text that wraps. This is a bounded text that wraps. This is a bounded text that wraps. This is a bounded text that wraps. This is a bounded text that wraps.")
{
Settings = new()
{
Alignment = TextAlignment.Left
},
Width = 30,
Height = 5,
Line = 1,
};
var text2 = new BoundedText("This is a bounded text that wraps. This is a bounded text that wraps. This is a bounded text that wraps. This is a bounded text that wraps. This is a bounded text that wraps. This is a bounded text that wraps. This is a bounded text that wraps.")
{
Settings = new()
{
Alignment = TextAlignment.Left
},
Width = 30,
Height = 5,
Left = 40,
Line = 2,
};
TextWriterRaw.WriteRaw(text.Render());
TextWriterRaw.WriteRaw(text2.Render());
var text = new BoundedText("This is a bounded text that wraps. This is a bounded text that wraps. This is a bounded text that wraps. This is a bounded text that wraps. This is a bounded text that wraps. This is a bounded text that wraps. This is a bounded text that wraps.")
{
Settings = new()
{
Alignment = TextAlignment.Left
},
Width = 30,
Height = 5,
PositionWise = true,
Column = 5,
Row = 4,
};
var text2 = new BoundedText("This is a bounded text that wraps. This is a bounded text that wraps. This is a bounded text that wraps. This is a bounded text that wraps. This is a bounded text that wraps. This is a bounded text that wraps. This is a bounded text that wraps.")
{
Settings = new()
{
Alignment = TextAlignment.Left
},
Width = 30,
Height = 5,
Left = 40,
PositionWise = true,
Column = 5,
Row = 5,
};
TextWriterRaw.WriteRaw(text.Render());
TextWriterRaw.WriteRaw(text2.Render());
Figlet text
This allows you to write unaligned Figlet text to the console.
var text = new FigletText(FigletFonts.GetByName("small"), "Figlet text");
TextWriterRaw.WriteRaw(text.Render());
Text marquee
This allows you to write an animated text marquee to the console.
var stickScreen = new Screen()
{
CycleFrequency = 50,
};
var marquee = new TextMarquee(
"This is the test text marquee that's adjusted to your console width with the margin of 4 from both the " +
"left and the right side, and is intentionally long to make the text scroll just like how music players " +
"work.")
{
LeftMargin = 4,
RightMargin = 4,
};
try
{
// First, clear the screen
ColorTools.LoadBack();
// Then, show the counter
var stickScreenPart = new ScreenPart();
stickScreenPart.Position(4, ConsoleWrapper.WindowHeight / 2);
stickScreenPart.AddDynamicText(marquee.Render);
stickScreen.AddBufferedPart("Test", stickScreenPart);
ScreenTools.SetCurrent(stickScreen);
ScreenTools.SetCurrentCyclic(stickScreen);
ScreenTools.StartCyclicScreen();
Input.ReadKey();
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
InfoBoxModalColor.WriteInfoBoxModal($"Screen failed to render: {ex.Message}");
}
finally
{
ScreenTools.StopCyclicScreen();
ScreenTools.UnsetCurrent(stickScreen);
ColorTools.LoadBack();
}
Decoration
This allows you to create decorative renders for your text, but in a standalone form. You can also use this instance with aligned text instances to decorate your text with prefixes and suffixes.
var decoration1 = new Decoration()
{
ForegroundColor = ConsoleColors.Red,
Start = "..:: ",
End = " ::..",
};
var decoration2 = new Decoration()
{
ForegroundColor = ConsoleColors.Lime,
Start = "..::",
End = "::..",
};
var decoration3 = new Decoration()
{
ForegroundColor = ConsoleColors.Blue,
Start = "..::",
End = "::..",
};
TextWriterRaw.WritePlain("Full decoration: " + decoration1.Render());
TextWriterRaw.WritePlain("Start decoration: " + decoration2.RenderStart());
TextWriterRaw.WritePlain("End decoration: " + decoration3.RenderEnd() + "\n");
var alignedTextUndecorated = new AlignedText("Aligned text")
{
ForegroundColor = ConsoleColors.Yellow,
Top = 6,
LeftMargin = "Aligned text without decoration: ".Length,
};
var alignedTextDecorated = new AlignedText("Aligned text")
{
ForegroundColor = ConsoleColors.Yellow,
UseColors = true,
Top = 7,
LeftMargin = "Aligned text without decoration: ".Length,
Decoration = decoration2,
};
TextWriterRaw.WritePlain("Aligned text without decoration: " + alignedTextUndecorated.Render());
TextWriterRaw.WritePlain("Aligned text with decoration: " + alignedTextDecorated.Render());
Text path
You can render the decorated text path with this renderable so that the paths appear more elegant and simplified.
var path1 = new TextPath()
{
PathText = @"C:\WINDOWS\System32\very\long\path\so\that\we\can\read-this.txt",
Left = 4,
Top = 2,
Width = 30,
};
var path2 = new TextPath()
{
PathText = @"C:\WINDOWS\System32\taskmgr.exe",
ForegroundColor = ConsoleColors.Green,
LastPathColor = ConsoleColors.Blue,
SeparatorColor = ConsoleColors.Yellow,
RootDriveColor = ConsoleColors.Red,
UseColors = true,
Settings = new() { Alignment = TextAlignment.Left },
Left = 4,
Top = 4,
Width = 40,
};
var path3 = new TextPath()
{
PathText = @"/etc/grub.d/40_custom",
ForegroundColor = ConsoleColors.Green,
LastPathColor = ConsoleColors.Blue,
SeparatorColor = ConsoleColors.Yellow,
RootDriveColor = ConsoleColors.Red,
UseColors = true,
Settings = new() { Alignment = TextAlignment.Middle },
Left = 4,
Top = 5,
Width = 40,
};
var path4 = new TextPath()
{
PathText = @"Source/Public/Terminaux",
ForegroundColor = ConsoleColors.Green,
LastPathColor = ConsoleColors.Blue,
SeparatorColor = ConsoleColors.Yellow,
RootDriveColor = ConsoleColors.Red,
UseColors = true,
Settings = new() { Alignment = TextAlignment.Right },
Left = 4,
Top = 6,
Width = 40,
};
TextWriterRaw.WriteRaw(path1.Render());
TextWriterRaw.WriteRaw(path2.Render());
TextWriterRaw.WriteRaw(path3.Render());
TextWriterRaw.WriteRaw(path4.Render());
Artistic
This allows you to draw artistic stuff into the console so that you can build your own interactive console applications easily.
Border
You can render a nice border to the console either without any text, just a title, a text, or box title and text. You can also customize the borders.
var artistic = new Border()
{
Left = 2,
Top = 1,
InteriorWidth = 20,
InteriorHeight = 10,
};
TextWriterRaw.WriteRaw(artistic.Render());
var artistic = new Border()
{
Left = 2,
Top = 1,
InteriorWidth = 20,
InteriorHeight = 10,
Title = "Border title",
};
TextWriterRaw.WriteRaw(artistic.Render());
var artistic = new Border()
{
Left = 2,
Top = 1,
InteriorWidth = 20,
InteriorHeight = 10,
Text = "Border text",
};
TextWriterRaw.WriteRaw(artistic.Render());
var artistic = new Border()
{
Left = 2,
Top = 1,
InteriorWidth = 20,
InteriorHeight = 10,
Title = "Border title",
Text = "Border text",
};
TextWriterRaw.WriteRaw(artistic.Render());
You can use the border settings to change the color of the border and to determine whether to display the entire border or not using a set of properties. For example, if you don't want to render the right edge, you can set BorderRightFrameEnabled
to false
.
Box
You can render a box to the terminal easily.
var artistic = new Box()
{
Left = 2,
Top = 1,
InteriorWidth = 20,
InteriorHeight = 10,
Color = ConsoleColors.Magenta3
};
TextWriterRaw.WriteRaw(artistic.Render());
Box frame
It's basically the same as a border, but without text support and without filling inside the box
var artistic = new BoxFrame("")
{
Left = 2,
Top = 1,
InteriorWidth = 20,
InteriorHeight = 10,
};
TextWriterRaw.WriteRaw(artistic.Render());
var artistic = new BoxFrame("Text")
{
Left = 2,
Top = 1,
InteriorWidth = 20,
InteriorHeight = 10,
};
TextWriterRaw.WriteRaw(artistic.Render());
Canvas
This is your sandbox for your awesome creations. This is done by coloring individual pixels with a color of your choice.
var artistic = new Canvas()
{
Left = 2,
Top = 2,
Color = ConsoleColors.Green,
DoubleWidth = false,
Transparent = true,
InteriorWidth = 20,
InteriorHeight = 20,
Pixels =

Animated canvases
You can make animated canvases using the AnimatedCanvas
class. It allows you to define canvas frames that describe a group of arrays of cell properties. They are changed sequentially to form an animated canvas. The example below is taken from this file.
Misc
This category contains all other cyclic writers that don't fit in the above categories.
Asciinema
This cyclic writer allows you to render a recorded Asciinema cast file to the terminal.
This feature is work in progress.
Progress bar
Progress bars describe how much of a progress was done for the current task. You can make the progress bar either with text or without text. Progress bars can either be determinate (at which you can know the progress) or indeterminate (at which the process is not determined)
Progress bar with text
This writer allows you to show a progress bar while allowing you to describe what is going on during the process.
var stickScreen = new Screen()
{
CycleFrequency = 50,
};
var progressBar = new ProgressBar(
"This is the test progress bar that contains a scrolling marquee.", 0, 100)
{
LeftMargin = 4,
RightMargin = 4,
};
try
{
// First, clear the screen
ColorTools.LoadBack();
// Then, show the progress bar
var stickScreenPart = new ScreenPart();
stickScreenPart.Position(4, ConsoleWrapper.WindowHeight - 1);
stickScreenPart.AddDynamicText(progressBar.Render);
stickScreen.AddBufferedPart("Test", stickScreenPart);
ScreenTools.SetCurrent(stickScreen);
ScreenTools.SetCurrentCyclic(stickScreen);
ScreenTools.StartCyclicScreen();
// Finally, increment the progress bar until it's full
for (int progress = 0; progress < 100; progress++)
{
progressBar.Position = progress;
Thread.Sleep(100);
}
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
InfoBoxModalColor.WriteInfoBoxModal($"Screen failed to render: {ex.Message}");
}
finally
{
ScreenTools.StopCyclicScreen();
ScreenTools.UnsetCurrent(stickScreen);
ColorTools.LoadBack();
}
var stickScreen = new Screen()
{
CycleFrequency = 50,
};
var progressBar = new ProgressBar(
"This is the test progress bar that contains a scrolling marquee.", 0, 100)
{
LeftMargin = 4,
RightMargin = 4,
Indeterminate = true,
};
try
{
// First, clear the screen
ColorTools.LoadBack();
// Then, show the progress bar
var stickScreenPart = new ScreenPart();
stickScreenPart.Position(4, ConsoleWrapper.WindowHeight - 1);
stickScreenPart.AddDynamicText(progressBar.Render);
stickScreen.AddBufferedPart("Test", stickScreenPart);
ScreenTools.SetCurrent(stickScreen);
ScreenTools.SetCurrentCyclic(stickScreen);
ScreenTools.StartCyclicScreen();
// Finally, increment the progress bar until it's full

}
finally
{
ScreenTools.StopCyclicScreen();
ScreenTools.UnsetCurrent(stickScreen);
ColorTools.LoadBack();
}
Progress bar without text
This writer allows you to show a progress bar without any text.
var stickScreen = new Screen()
{
CycleFrequency = 50,
};
var progressBar = new ProgressBarNoText(0, 100)
{
LeftMargin = 4,
RightMargin = 4,
};
try
{
// First, clear the screen
ColorTools.LoadBack();
// Then, show the progress bar
var stickScreenPart = new ScreenPart();
stickScreenPart.Position(4, ConsoleWrapper.WindowHeight - 1);
stickScreenPart.AddDynamicText(progressBar.Render);
stickScreen.AddBufferedPart("Test", stickScreenPart);
ScreenTools.SetCurrent(stickScreen);
ScreenTools.SetCurrentCyclic(stickScreen);
ScreenTools.StartCyclicScreen();
// Finally, increment the progress bar until it's full
for (int progress = 0; progress < 100; progress++)
{
progressBar.Position = progress;
Thread.Sleep(100);
}
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
InfoBoxModalColor.WriteInfoBoxModal($"Screen failed to render: {ex.Message}");
}
finally
{
ScreenTools.StopCyclicScreen();
ScreenTools.UnsetCurrent(stickScreen);
ColorTools.LoadBack();
}
var stickScreen = new Screen()
{
CycleFrequency = 50,
};
var progressBar = new ProgressBarNoText(0, 100)
{
LeftMargin = 4,
RightMargin = 4,
Indeterminate = true,
};
try
{
// First, clear the screen
ColorTools.LoadBack();
// Then, show the progress bar
var stickScreenPart = new ScreenPart();
stickScreenPart.Position(4, ConsoleWrapper.WindowHeight - 1);
stickScreenPart.AddDynamicText(progressBar.Render);
stickScreen.AddBufferedPart("Test", stickScreenPart);
ScreenTools.SetCurrent(stickScreen);
ScreenTools.SetCurrentCyclic(stickScreen);
ScreenTools.StartCyclicScreen();
// Finally, increment the progress bar until it's full
for (int progress = 0; progress < 100; progress++)
{
progressBar.Position = progress;
Thread.Sleep(100);
}
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
InfoBoxModalColor.WriteInfoBoxModal($"Screen failed to render: {ex.Message}");
}
finally
{
ScreenTools.StopCyclicScreen();
ScreenTools.UnsetCurrent(stickScreen);
ColorTools.LoadBack();
}
Simple progress bars
If you want to just print a progress bar either horizontally or vertically without any extra elements, you can use the SimpleProgress
renderable.
var stickScreen = new Screen()
{
CycleFrequency = 50,
};
var progressBar = new SimpleProgress(0, 100)
{
LeftMargin = 4,
RightMargin = 4,
};
try
{
// First, clear the screen
ColorTools.LoadBack();
// Then, show the progress bar
var stickScreenPart = new ScreenPart();
stickScreenPart.Position(4, ConsoleWrapper.WindowHeight - 1);
stickScreenPart.AddDynamicText(progressBar.Render);
stickScreen.AddBufferedPart("Test", stickScreenPart);
ScreenTools.SetCurrent(stickScreen);

Table
This allows you to render a table that consists of rows and columns to the terminal. You can use the cell options variable to configure various cells, such as colors. Calendars internally use the table renderer to render the core elements of a calendar, and they support non-Gregorian calendars.
var Rows = new string[,]
