str2d.BoxParts

class str2d.BoxParts(v: str, h: str, ul: str, ur: str, lr: str, ll: str, l: str, r: str, t: str, b: str, c: str)[source]

Organizes box drawing characters. Provides attribute names that are short and descriptive. This makes it easier to work with box drawing characters in code.

The tables below show the attribute names, examples, and descriptions of the parts.

Attribute Name			Example Value			Description
ul	t	ur	┌	┬	┐	Upper-left corner	Top T cross	Upper-right corner
l	c	r	├	┼	┤	Left T cross	Center cross	Right T cross
ll	b	lr	└	┴	┘	Lower-left corner	Bottom T cross	Lower-right corner

Attribute Name	v	h
Example Value	│	─
Description	Vertical	Horizontal

You can pass any unicode characters to the BoxParts class and it will categorize them accordingly. But the expectation would be something like the example above.

from str2d import BoxParts

BoxParts(
    v='│', h='─', ul='┌', ur='┐', lr='┘', ll='└',
    l='├', r='┤', t='┬', b='┴', c='┼'
)

┌─┬─┐
│ │ │
├─┼─┤
│ │ │
└─┴─┘

Or you can pass the any characters you want to the BoxParts class and it will categorize them accordingly. In this example we use the unicode character for a full block to be all the box parts.
