Hey, internet programmers today we write a python program that generates text to ASCII art. Let’s code Text to ASCII art using python.

We use pyfiglet python module to generate Text to ASCII text art in python. pyfiglet takes ASCII text and renders it in ASCII art fonts. figlet_format method converts ASCII text into ASCII art fonts.

Installation

pip install pyfiglet

Code

Example 1: default font

# import pyfiglet module
import pyfiglet
  
result = pyfiglet.figlet_format("CodeSnail")
print(result)

Output

Example 2: speed font

# import pyfiglet module
import pyfiglet
  
result = pyfiglet.figlet_format("CodeSnail", font="speed")
print(result)

Output

Example 3: 3-d font

# import pyfiglet module
import pyfiglet

result = pyfiglet.figlet_format("CodeSnail", font="3-d")
print(result)

Output

Example 4: pyramid font

# import pyfiglet module
import pyfiglet

result = pyfiglet.figlet_format("CodeSnail", font="pyramid")
print(result)

Output

Example 5: weird font

# import pyfiglet module
import pyfiglet

result = pyfiglet.figlet_format("CodeSnail", font="weird")
print(result)

Output

Example 5: alligator font

# import pyfiglet module
import pyfiglet

result = pyfiglet.figlet_format("WOW", font="alligator")
print(result)

Output

lots of fonts right. There are others too.

How to get all list of fonts in pyfiglet?

Type this in a terminal, it will show all the fonts you can use.

pyfiglet -l

or

pyfiglet --list_fonts

In a python file, you can get a fonts list

# import pyfiglet module
import pyfiglet
print(pyfiglet.FigletFont.getFonts())

And you get all list of fonts.
