Console color issue-CodePudding

I am writing a python program with a header that is meant to be colored blue. I am using the art library to generate text and some color codes but things just don't make sense.

Here is the code for the program font-test.py

from art import *
import ctypes
kernel32 = ctypes.WinDLL('kernel32')
hStdOut = kernel32.GetStdHandle(-11)
mode = ctypes.c_ulong()
kernel32.GetConsoleMode(hStdOut, ctypes.byref(mode))
mode.value |= 4
kernel32.SetConsoleMode(hStdOut, mode)


class bcolors:
    HEADER = '\033[95m'
    OKBLUE = '\033[94m'
    OKCYAN = '\033[96m'
    OKGREEN = '\033[92m'
    WARNING = '\033[93m'
    FAIL = '\033[91m'
    ENDC = '\033[0m'
    BOLD = '\033[1m'
    UNDERLINE = '\033[4m'

Art=text2art(f"{bcolors.OKBLUE}COOL HEADER{bcolors.ENDC}",font='graffiti',chr_ignore=True) # Return ASCII text with block font
print(Art)

This is the output from running >> python font-test.py output I expected it to simply print the text "COOL HEADER" in blue.

CodePudding user response：

With the help of text2art you can generate the string. If you want to print this string in a different color, you can do this in the print() function, as shown below:

Art=text2art("COOL HEADER",font='graffiti',chr_ignore=True)
print(bcolors.OKBLUE   Art   bcolors.ENDC)
