Digits

Added in version 0.33.0

A widget to display numerical values in tall multi-line characters.

The digits 0-9 are supported, in addition to the following characters +, -, ^, :, and ×. Other characters will be displayed in a regular size font.

You can set the text to be displayed in the constructor, or call update() to change the text after the widget has been mounted.

This widget will respect the text-align rule.

Example

The following example displays a few digits of Pi:

Outputdigits.py

from textual.app import App, ComposeResult
from textual.widgets import Digits


class DigitApp(App):
    CSS = """
    Screen {
        align: center middle;
    }
    #pi {
        border: double green;
        width: auto;
    }
    """

    def compose(self) -> ComposeResult:
        yield Digits("3.141,592,653,5897", id="pi")


if __name__ == "__main__":
    app = DigitApp()
    app.run()

Here's another example which uses Digits to display the current time:

Outputclock.py

from datetime import datetime

from textual.app import App, ComposeResult
from textual.widgets import Digits


class ClockApp(App):
    CSS = """
    Screen {
        align: center middle;
    }
    #clock {
        width: auto;
    }
    """

    def compose(self) -> ComposeResult:
        yield Digits("", id="clock")

    def on_ready(self) -> None:
        self.update_clock()
        self.set_interval(1, self.update_clock)

    def update_clock(self) -> None:
        clock = datetime.now().time()
        self.query_one(Digits).update(f"{clock:%T}")


if __name__ == "__main__":
    app = ClockApp()
    app.run(inline=True)
