Figlet Font Selector

The figlet font selector allows you to flexibly select a Figlet font provided by our own Figlet library, Figletize. It shows you a live preview of the font to show you how your selected font looks like prior to submission.

{% hint style="info" %} FigletTextTools provides default figlet font settings. {% endhint %}

You can simply invoke the selector on your interactive console application by calling the below function like so:

string font = FigletSelector.PromptForFiglet();

Usually, this call is followed by getting a figlet font from the above variable and writing it using the WriteFiglet() function:

var figlet = FigletTools.GetFigletFont(font);
FigletColor.WriteFiglet("Hello!", figlet, ConsoleColors.Green);

Additionally, you can press S to write the desired font name and quickly switch to that font. If you want to cancel, you can press ESC.

The following controls are available for the normal figlet font selector:

Key	Action
ENTER	Accept font selection
ESC	Discard changes
H	Help page
LEFT / WHEEL UP	Previous font
RIGHT / WHEEL DOWN	Next font
S	Select font from the infobox
SHIFT + S	Write font name
C	Shows the individual characters with the selected font

The following controls are available for the character showcase:

Key	Action
ENTER	Go back
LEFT / WHEEL UP	Previous character
RIGHT / WHEEL DOWN	Next character
