## printo `printo` (pronounced "print-o") is a Nim package that can be used to configure the timing of printing text on the terminal. There are 4 different modes to choose from. Printo can be used in any Nim application that supports version 1.6.14 and above. However, since `printo` is a simple library that uses only basic Nim constructs, applications written in earlier versions of Nim should also be able to use it seamlessly. ### How to use printo #### Installation Since `printo` has not yet been added to the `nimble` directory, you'll have to install it from the repository. ``` $ nimble install https://bitbucket.org/pyfyclan/printo.git ``` After it is installed, add the `printo` to your project's `.nimble` file using the `requires` keyword: ```nim requires "printo >= 0.1.0" ``` Then, using `printo` in your project is quite easy. You can import `printo` into any file within your project. There is only one proc that you actually use: `printo`. Just import that proc and you are good to go; really. The `printo` proc only requires three arguments to work: 1. The text to be printed. 2. The mode of printing (detailed below). 3. The time (in milliseconds) gap between each element while printing. An element could be a word or a character. #### Modes Currently, printo supports four modes of printing. They are detailed in the following table: | Mode | Description | |------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------| | lblsl | Print text letter by letter on the same line. | | wbwsl | Print text word by word on the same line. | | lblnl | Print text letter by letter on a new line per letter. | | wbwnl | Print text word by word on a new line per word. | The actual usage is as follows: ```nim from printo import printo let txt: string = "Lorem ipsum whatever you got." let mode = "lblsl" let time = 100 # remember that this value is in milliseconds printo(txt, mode, time) ```
