Module: RatatuiRuby::Symbols::Shade

Defined in:: lib/ratatui_ruby/symbols.rb

Overview

Shade characters for creating gradient or density effects.

Terminal UIs often need to show density levels or create visual gradients. Memorizing Unicode block characters is tedious and error-prone.

These constants provide named access to the standard shade characters. Use them to fill areas with varying visual densities.

# Create a density gradient
gradient = [Shade::EMPTY, Shade::LIGHT, Shade::MEDIUM, Shade::DARK, Shade::FULL]

# Use in a progress indicator
filled = Shade::FULL * progress
empty = Shade::LIGHT * (total - progress)
