cant get screen.paint() to render something

Hi,

according to the docs http://asciimatics.readthedocs.io/en/stable/rendering.html#rendering I should be able to render a figlet using

Pre-render ASCIIMATICS using the big Figlet font

renderer = FigletText("ASCIIMATICS", font='big')

and then calling “paint”

like

screen.paint(renderer, 0, 0)

this however does not work, I can not find this in the docs so I can only use a Scene to render a figlettext?

Thanks

I’m assuming that this has fixed your problem. Now closing.

Ok - I see the issue now. You can’t just pass the renderer straight in to paint. You need something like this.

        image, colours = self._renderer.rendered_text
        for (i, line) in enumerate(image):
            self._screen.paint(line, self._x, self._y + i, self._colour,
                               attr=self._attr,
                               bg=self._bg,
                               transparent=self._transparent,
                               colour_map=colours[i])

This is taken from the Print class, so you’ll need to fix up the use of object member variables.
