Convenience Renderables¶

rich-gradient includes convenience wrappers for several Rich renderables. They construct the underlying Rich object and then render it through Gradient, so you can use familiar Rich APIs while adding foreground gradients, background gradients, rainbow palettes, alignment, and highlight rules.

Table¶

Table wraps rich.table.Table and forwards add_column() and add_row().

from rich.console import Console
from rich_gradient import Table

console = Console()
table = Table(
    "Service",
    "Status",
    "Latency",
    title="Gradient Table",
    colors=["#38bdf8", "#a855f7", "#f97316"],
    show_lines=True,
)
table.add_row("api", "ok", "42 ms")
table.add_row("worker", "degraded", "180 ms")
console.print(table)

Gradient table

Tree¶

Tree wraps rich.tree.Tree and forwards add() for nested branches.

from rich_gradient import Tree

tree = Tree("rich-gradient", colors=["#22d3ee", "#a78bfa", "#f472b6"])
src = tree.add("src")
src.add("rich_gradient")
tree.add("docs").add("gradient.md")

Gradient tree

Columns¶

Columns wraps rich.columns.Columns for multi-column lists of renderables.

from rich_gradient import Columns

columns = Columns(
    ["Text", "Gradient", "Panel", "Rule", "Table", "Tree", "Syntax", "Pretty"],
    title="Gradient Columns",
    colors=["#34d399", "#60a5fa", "#f59e0b"],
    equal=True,
)

Gradient columns

Pretty¶

Pretty wraps rich.pretty.Pretty for structured Python objects.

from rich_gradient import Pretty

Pretty(
    {"project": "rich-gradient", "status": {"tests": "passing"}},
    colors=["#f43f5e", "#f59e0b", "#22c55e"],
    indent_guides=True,
    expand_all=True,
)

Gradient pretty

Syntax¶

Syntax wraps rich.syntax.Syntax for syntax-highlighted code.

from rich_gradient import Syntax

Syntax(
    "print('hello')",
    "python",
    colors=["#38bdf8", "#a855f7", "#f97316"],
    line_numbers=True,
)

Gradient syntax
