尝试在同一行中打印 ascii 文本 python 3.7

Question

Im trying to write a program that takes a letter as input and prints the corresponding letter in ascii art. I try to do a print() statement but it prints in seperate lines and not the same line which i want.

 letter_I = """
 ###
  #
  #
  #
 ###
"""

letter_o = """
 ###
#   #
#   #
#   #
 ###
"""



print(letter_I + letter_o)

I want the input to be

###       ###
 #       #   #
 #       #   #
 #       #   #
###       ###

But i get

 ###
  #
  #
  #
 ###


 ###
#   #
#   #
#   #
 ###

How do i get the preferred output, and is it possible to print it mirrored without messing up the letters?

Answer 1

Use this function

def combineStr(str1, str2):
    l1 = str1.split('\n')
    l2 = str2.split('\n')
    for i in range(min(len(l1), len(l2))):
        print(l1[i]+'\t'+l2[i]);

So you can do this:

combineStr(letter_I, letter_o)

Answer 2

You can do it manually by splitting each strings line by line, and printing each line followed by a fixed number of spaces.

letter_I = """
 ###
  #
  #
  #
 ###
"""

letter_o = """
 ###
#   #
#   #
#   #
 ###
"""

letter_I = letter_I.split("\n")
letter_o = letter_o.split("\n")

for i in range(len(letter_I)):
    print(letter_I[i].ljust(7), letter_o[i])

Answer 3

In one hand you could use ANSI terminal escape sequences (see for example: https://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Bash-Prompt-HOWTO/x361.html ), but in this usecase i think it would be rather painful. Instead try to write the text by "pixel" lines, so first print the upmost "pixels" from each character, and then jumpt to the next row. For this of course you need to know the whole text in advance. On the other other side, of course there is a lib for that, look at https://github.com/pwaller/pyfiglet

Answer 4

You have to split the letters into individual lines and print one line of all letters before printing the next line.

letters = [letter_I, letter_o]
for lines in zip(*map(str.splitlines, letters)):
    print(*(line.ljust(5) for line in lines))

Here, map applies the splitlines method to each letter and then zip arranges them in the right way. ljust makes all lines the same width before printing them. (Alternatively, you could just print("\\t".join(lines)) but that gives you less control of the spacing.)

Output:

 ###   ### 
  #   #   #
  #   #   #
  #   #   #
 ###   ###
