:snake: Python Example

print(Clr.BO + Clr.UL + Clr.rainbow('I love VividHues!'))
print(Clr.RED + "It's got my fave color!" + Clr.RS)
print(f"Soooo {Clr.jazzy('jazzy')}")
# ^^^
# you'll get an error using "" in f-string interpolations
print(Clr.pattern("Kenny Oliver", Clr.PURPLE, Clr.CYAN, Clr.LIME))


:warning: Preventing Color Leakage!
What is color leakage??? :thinking:
:point_right: Color leakage is when you have forgotten to use Clr.RS/Clr.RESET :point_left: to reset the formatting after the last character printed to the standard output!
It results in any trailing characters, in the output stream, to continue to have the same formatting.
This is an intentional feature, because it allows for the formatting of entire chunks of code in one go.
See the example

:memo: Note!
As of VividHues>=5.3.0, ALL magic functions do not leak color.
Previously, it was only Clr.random()!

How do I prevent/solve this? :tada:
:a: End print() with Clr.RS/Clr.RESET   —   Short 'n' Sweet! :candy:
print(... + Clr.RS) # recommended!

print(..., Clr.RS)

print(..., end=Clr.RS+"\n")

:b: Format chunks of code   —   Highly Recommended! :thumbsup:
# start formatting here
print(Clr.BOLD + Clr.RED, end="")


if something:
print(Clr.BLUE + "blah blah blah" + Clr.RS)
else:
for x in range(100):
# lots of print statements


# end formatting here
print(Clr.RS, end="")


:bulb: Tip!
These solutions also prevent the leakage of other formatting
(e.g. Clr.BO, Clr.BOLD, Clr.UL, Clr.UNDERLINE)


:rainbow: Available Clr codes:
Just put a code in the gap Clr.___
Clr:                  RED, ORANGE, YELLOW, LIME, GREEN, BLUE, CYAN, PURPLE, PINK, BLACK, WHITE
Formatter:      UNDERLINE, UL, BOLD, BO
Reset:             RESET, RS

:memo: Note!
In order to make your life easy, when reading the documentation,
Your import statement should be the following... :point_down:
from VividHues import Clr so that you can use Clr.___


:wastebasket: Erasing the previous line
VividHues provides you with a quick way to erase the last line of the CLI!
# Delete the last printed line of the CLI
Clr.delPrevLine()

# Delete the last 5 printed lines
Clr.delPrevLine(5)


:magic_wand: Magic Functions!!!

:bulb: TIP!
Magic Functions do not leak color (as of VividHues>=5.3.0)

:game_die: Clr.random()


print( Clr.random(string) )

Paints your string in a random Clr code.


:saxophone: Clr.jazzy()


print( Clr.jazzy(string) )

Paints each letter in jazzy random colors! It's a total gamble, that's guaranteed to be ugly! :)


:rainbow: Clr.rainbow()


print( Clr.rainbow(string) )

Paints your string in a rainbow pattern.


:test_tube: Clr.pattern()


print( Clr.pattern(string, *color) )

Paint your letters in a repeating pattern, by specifying an unlimited amount of Clr codes!
