Simple console drawing program
Python 3.8 is required in order to run the program. Follow your OS specific instructions to install Python 3.8 on your machine or in a virtual environment.
Once Python has been installed, get the required dependencies:
Assuming the repo has been cloned or extracted to the console-drawing folder in your current working directory, do the following:
# install dependencies
$ cd console-drawing
$ pip install -r requirements.txtNow you are all set to run start drawing in the terminal console.
From the program folder console-drawing run
$ python main.pyThe command prompt will appear suggesting to enter commands. Currently supported set of commands includes:
Command Description
C w h Should create a new canvas of width w and height h.
L x1 y1 x2 y2 Should create a new line from (x1,y1) to (x2,y2). Currently only
horizontal or vertical lines are supported. Horizontal and vertical lines
will be drawn using the 'x' character.
R x1 y1 x2 y2 Should create a new rectangle, whose upper left corner is (x1,y1) and
lower right corner is (x2,y2). Horizontal and vertical lines will be drawn
using the 'x' character.

behavior of this is the same as that of the "bucket fill" tool in paint
programs.
