    Class
    Description
    static interface 
    Defines the interface for an ANSI escape sequence.
    static enum 
    A set of pre-defined ANSI escape code styles and colors, and a set of convenience methods for parsing text with embedded markup style names, as well as convenience methods for converting styles to strings with embedded escape codes.

    Enum Constants
    Enum Constant
    Description
    Only emit ANSI escape codes if the platform supports it and system property "picocli.ansi" is not set to any value other than "true" (case insensitive).
    Forced OFF: never emit ANSI escape code regardless of the platform.
    Forced ON: always emit ANSI escape code regardless of the platform.
  • Method Summary

    Modifier and Type
    Method
    Description
    Returns a new Text object where all the specified styles are applied to the full length of the specified plain text.
    boolean
    Returns true if ANSI escape codes should be emitted, false otherwise.
    string(String stringWithMarkup)
    Returns a String where any markup like @|bg(red),white,underline some text|@ is converted to ANSI escape codes if this Ansi is ON, or suppressed if this Ansi is OFF.
    text(String stringWithMarkup)
    Returns a new Text object for this Ansi mode, encapsulating the specified string which may contain markup like @|bg(red),white,underline some text|@.
    valueOf(boolean enabled)
    Returns Ansi.ON if the specified enabled flag is true, Ansi.OFF otherwise.
    Returns the enum constant of this class with the specified name.
    Returns an array containing the constants of this enum class, in the order they are declared.

    • AUTO

      public static final CommandLine.Help.Ansi AUTO
      Only emit ANSI escape codes if the platform supports it and system property "picocli.ansi" is not set to any value other than "true" (case insensitive).
    • ON

      public static final CommandLine.Help.Ansi ON
      Forced ON: always emit ANSI escape code regardless of the platform.
    • OFF

      public static final CommandLine.Help.Ansi OFF
      Forced OFF: never emit ANSI escape code regardless of the platform.

    • values

      public static CommandLine.Help.Ansi[] values()
      Returns an array containing the constants of this enum class, in the order they are declared.
      Returns:
      an array containing the constants of this enum class, in the order they are declared
    • valueOf

      public static CommandLine.Help.Ansi valueOf(String name)
      Returns the enum constant of this class with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this class. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)
      Parameters:
      name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.
      Returns:
      the enum constant with the specified name
      Throws:
      IllegalArgumentException - if this enum class has no constant with the specified name
      NullPointerException - if the argument is null
    • enabled

      public boolean enabled()
      Returns true if ANSI escape codes should be emitted, false otherwise.
      Returns:
      ON: true, OFF: false, AUTO: if system property "picocli.ansi" has value "tty" (case-insensitive), then return true if either System.console() != null or picocli guesses the application is running in a pseudo-terminal pty on a Linux emulator in Windows. If system property "picocli.ansi" has value "true" (case-sensitive) then return true. Otherwise use picocli's Heuristics for Enabling ANSI to determine whether the platform supports ANSI escape codes.
    • text

      public CommandLine.Help.Ansi.Text text(String stringWithMarkup)

      Returns a new Text object for this Ansi mode, encapsulating the specified string which may contain markup like @|bg(red),white,underline some text|@.

      Calling toString() on the returned Text will either include ANSI escape codes (if this Ansi mode is ON), or suppress ANSI escape codes (if this Ansi mode is OFF).

      Equivalent to this.new Text(stringWithMarkup).

    • string

      public String string(String stringWithMarkup)

      Returns a String where any markup like @|bg(red),white,underline some text|@ is converted to ANSI escape codes if this Ansi is ON, or suppressed if this Ansi is OFF.

      Equivalent to this.new Text(stringWithMarkup).toString().

    • valueOf

      public static CommandLine.Help.Ansi valueOf(boolean enabled)
      Returns Ansi.ON if the specified enabled flag is true, Ansi.OFF otherwise.
      Since:
      3.4
    • apply

      Returns a new Text object where all the specified styles are applied to the full length of the specified plain text.

      Parameters:
      plainText - the string to apply all styles to. Must not contain markup!
      styles - the styles to apply to the full plain text
      Returns:
      a new Text object
