| 27 | +:class: warning |
| 28 | +
|
| 29 | +there are no difference - apart from this very cell - between the teacher and the student version, but the notebook is duplicated in .teacher for consistency |
| 30 | +```` |
| 31 | + |
| 32 | ++++ {"tags": ["prune-cell"]} |
| 33 | + |
| 34 | +````{admonition} no need for a zip |
| 35 | +to practise this exercise, you only need this HTML text, there are no zip attached |
| 36 | +```` |
| 37 | + |
| 38 | ++++ |
| 39 | + |
| 40 | +Unicode comes with a few characters that can be used to draw squares or rectangles on the terminal |
| 41 | + |
| 42 | +See e.g. this page for a list |
| 43 | + |
| 44 | +<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Box-drawing_character> |
| 45 | + |
| 46 | +**NOTE** these examples may look a little awkward on the notebook, but will look fine when run on a terminal, provided that it uses a fixed-width font, something that any decent terminal does |
| 47 | + |
| 48 | ++++ |
| 49 | + |
| 50 | +## a first example |
| 51 | + |
| 52 | +```{code-cell} ipython3 |
| 53 | +print ("wide box") |
| 54 | +print ("\u250f\u2501\u2513") # 3 odd characters |
| 55 | +print ("\u2503 \u2503") # 2 oddities + 1 space in the middle |
| 56 | +print ("\u2517\u2501\u251b") # 3 odd characters |
| 57 | +``` |
| 58 | + |
| 59 | +for creating this example, all I had to do was to find the codepoint for each of the characters that I need, and insert them in a Python string using the '\unnnn' notation, where `nnnn` is the 4-digit hexadecimal codepoint. |
| 60 | + |
| 61 | +```{code-cell} ipython3 |
| 62 | +# an example with one single character |
| 63 | +"\u250f" |
| 64 | +``` |
| 65 | + |
| 66 | +## adding color |
| 67 | + |
| 68 | ++++ |
| 69 | + |
| 70 | +optionnally, like we've seen for the evaluation, we can draw color on the terminal with the `colorama` library; note that it is useful mostly for Windows terminals (as other devices has standard ways to do color). |
| 71 | + |
| 72 | +```{code-cell} ipython3 |
| 73 | +from colorama import Fore, Style |
| 74 | +``` |
| 75 | + |
| 76 | +```{code-cell} ipython3 |
| 77 | +def red_text(text): |
| 78 | + return f"{Fore.RED}{text}{Style.RESET_ALL}" |
| 79 | +``` |
| 80 | + |
| 81 | +```{code-cell} ipython3 |
| 82 | +"hello " + red_text("to the") + " world" |
| 83 | +``` |
| 84 | + |
| 85 | +well here again, the output is awkward on the notebook, never mind... |
| 86 | + |
| 87 | ++++ |
| 88 | + |
| 89 | +## putting it together |
| 90 | + |
| 91 | +```{code-cell} ipython3 |
| 92 | +print ("thin box") |
| 93 | +print ("\u250c\u2500\u2510") |
| 94 | +print ("\u2502 \u2502") |
| 95 | +print ("\u2514\u2500\u2518") |
| 96 | +``` |
| 97 | + |
| 98 | +```{code-cell} ipython3 |
| 99 | +print ("wide connectable box") |
| 100 | +print ("\u254b\u2501\u2513") |
| 101 | +print ("\u2503 \u2523") |
| 102 | +print ("\u2517\u2501\u251b") |
| 103 | +``` |
| 104 | + |
| 105 | +```{code-cell} ipython3 |
| 106 | +# of course we could also do this |
| 107 | +thin_box = """\u250f\u2501\u2513 |
| 108 | +\u2503 \u2503 |
| 109 | +\u2517\u2501\u251b""" |
| 110 | +print(thin_box) |
| 111 | +``` |
| 112 | + |
| 113 | +```{code-cell} ipython3 |
| 114 | +print(red_text(thin_box)) |
| 115 | +``` |
| 116 | + |
| 117 | +```{code-cell} ipython3 |
| 118 | +# or that |
| 119 | +double_box = """\u2554\u2566\u2557 |
| 120 | +\u2560\u256c\u2563 |
| 121 | +\u255a\u2569\u255d""" |
| 122 | +print(double_box) |
| 123 | +``` |
| 124 | + |
| 125 | +```{code-cell} ipython3 |
| 126 | +print(red_text(double_box)) |
| 127 | +``` |
| 128 | + |
| 129 | +well, you get the picture.. |

| 140 | + |
| 141 | +We want to be able to write sentences like this |
| 142 | + |
| 143 | +```{code-cell} ipython3 |
| 144 | +from boxes import Box0 |
| 145 | +``` |
| 146 | + |
| 147 | +```{code-cell} ipython3 |
| 148 | +b0 = Box0(8, 4) |
| 149 | +print(b0.box()) |
| 150 | +``` |
| 151 | + |
| 152 | +### v1 |
| 153 | + |
| 154 | ++++ |
| 155 | + |
| 156 | +or even better: add style |
| 157 | + |
| 158 | +```{code-cell} ipython3 |
| 159 | +from boxes import Box1 |
| 160 | +``` |
| 161 | + |
| 162 | +```{code-cell} ipython3 |
| 163 | +b11 = Box1(4, 3, style='thin') |
| 164 | +print(b11.box()) |
| 165 | +``` |
| 166 | + |
| 167 | +and then color |
| 168 | + |
| 169 | +```{code-cell} ipython3 |
| 170 | +b12 = Box1(10, 4, style='thin', color=Fore.BLUE) |
| 171 | +print(b12.box()) |
| 172 | +``` |
| 173 | + |
| 174 | +### v2 |
| 175 | + |
| 176 | ++++ |
| 177 | + |
| 178 | +or better still |
| 179 | + |
| 180 | +```{code-cell} ipython3 |
| 181 | +from boxes import Box2 |
| 182 | +``` |
| 183 | + |
| 184 | +```{code-cell} ipython3 |
| 185 | +b21 = Box2(4, 3, style='thin') |
| 186 | +print(b21) |
| 187 | +``` |
| 188 | + |
| 189 | +```{code-cell} ipython3 |
| 190 | +b22 = Box2(10, 4, color=Fore.BLUE, style='thin') |
| 191 | +print(b22) |
| 192 | +``` |
| 193 | + |
| 194 | +## assignment - if you're done |
| 195 | + |
| 196 | ++++ |
| 197 | + |
| 198 | +a few suggestions about how to improve |
| 199 | +* accept for the width and height: either an int (like before) or a **list of integers** |
| 200 | + so we can build **grids** instead of boxes |
| 201 | + ```python |
| 202 | + b = Grid(10, [2, 2]) |
| 203 | + ``` |
| 204 | +* make it reconnectable ? needs some thinking though ;-) |
| 205 | +* etc... |
