  • AsciiArt an simple implementation of an ASCII art object,

  • ascii_art() a function to get the ASCII art representation of any object in Sage,

EXAMPLES:

sage: n = var('n')
sage: integrate(n^2/x,x)
n^2*log(x)
sage: ascii_art(integrate(n^2/x,x))
 2
n *log(x)
sage: ascii_art(integrate(n^2/(pi*x),x))
 2
n *log(x)

sage: ascii_art(list(Partitions(6)))
[                                                       * ]
[                                                   **  * ]

This method ascii_art() could be automatically use by the display hook manager activated by the magic function: %display ascii_art:

sage: from sage.repl.interpreter import get_test_shell
sage: shell = get_test_shell()
sage: shell.run_cell('%display ascii_art')
sage: shell.run_cell("i = var('i')")
sage: shell.run_cell('sum(factorial(i)*x^i, i, 0, 10)')

class sage.typeset.ascii_art.AsciiArt(lines=[], breakpoints=[], baseline=None)#

Bases: CharacterArt

An Ascii art object is an object with some specific representation for printing.

INPUT:

  • lines – the list of lines of the representation of the ascii art object

  • breakpoints – the list of points where the representation can be split

  • baseline – the reference line (from the bottom)

EXAMPLES:

sage: i = var('i')
sage: ascii_art(sum(pi^i/factorial(i)*x^i, i, 0, oo))
 pi*x
e
sage.typeset.ascii_art.ascii_art(*obj, **kwds)#

Return an ASCII art representation

INPUT:

  • *obj – any number of positional arguments, of arbitrary type. The objects whose ascii art representation we want.

  • sep – optional 'sep=...' keyword argument (or 'separator'). Anything that can be converted to ascii art (default: empty ascii art). The separator in-between a list of objects. Only used if more than one object given.

  • baseline – (default: 0) the baseline for the object

  • sep_baseline – (default: 0) the baseline for the separator

OUTPUT:

AsciiArt instance.

EXAMPLES:

sage: result = ascii_art(integral(exp(x+x^2)/(x+1), x))
...
sage: result
    /
   |
   |   2
   |  x  + x
   | e
   | ------- dx
   |  x + 1
   |
  /

We can specify a separator object:

sage: ident = lambda n: identity_matrix(ZZ, n)
sage: ascii_art(ident(1), ident(2), ident(3), sep=' : ')
              [1 0 0]
      [1 0]   [0 1 0]
[1] : [0 1] : [0 0 1]

We can specify the baseline:

sage: ascii_art(ident(2), baseline=-1) + ascii_art(ident(3))
[1 0][1 0 0]
[0 1][0 1 0]
     [0 0 1]

We can determine the baseline of the separator:

sage: ascii_art(ident(1), ident(2), ident(3), sep=' -- ', sep_baseline=-1)
                [1 0 0]
    -- [1 0] -- [0 1 0]
[1]    [0 1]    [0 0 1]

If specified, the sep_baseline overrides the baseline of an ascii art separator:

sage: sep_line = ascii_art('\n'.join(' | ' for _ in range(6)), baseline=6)
sage: ascii_art(*Partitions(6), separator=sep_line, sep_baseline=0)
