# This demo allows testing multiple combination of specific font variations.
# Two lines will be printed for every entry in "variations[]",
# First line showing the entry index and parametes,
# Second line being "Hello World".
#
# Example:
# If a printed line shows:
# variations[2] =
# Hello World
# F=b B U AL=R
# It is the 3rd entry (zero-based index 2),
# with Font="B", Bold, Underline, Align=right.

Not used.
Forgot to add the barcode to the receipt?
It would be great to see a barcode or a QR printed on the receipt to showcase the capabilities of python-escpos.

I really like this function.
I think we must add it to python-escpos as a private method so that other methods like block_text, software_columns and the like can make optional use of it.

What do you think @patkan @agordon ?

Sounds good, feel free to create a change request :-)

We recently implemented the new software_columns method which simplifies formatting and printing lines of text as columns from a list of text items, so now users have an easy way to print something like "tables".
It would be great if this example file could include that functionality.


p.set_with_default()

## Subtotal
subtotal = sum([x["price"] for x in items])
p.textln(subtotals_format.format(dummy="", desc="subtotal", price=subtotal))

## Tax
tax_amount = subtotal * tax_percent
tax_desc = "Guild Tax (%d%%)" % (int(tax_percent * 100.0))
p.textln(subtotals_format.format(dummy="", desc=tax_desc, price=tax_amount))

## Total
## NOTE: because we use double-sized font, alignment won't match
## the previous lines. Instead, with trim leading whitespace,
## and use the printer's built-in right-alignment feature.
p.set_with_default(align="right", custom_size=True, width=2, height=2)
total_amount = subtotal + tax_amount
total_desc = "Total"
total_text_line = subtotals_format.format(dummy="", desc=total_desc, price=total_amount)
total_text_line = total_text_line.strip()
p.textln(total_text_line)

# Add some empty space before disclaimer
p.ln(4)

# preprocess disclaimer text:
# In python it's easy to use multilined strings,
# but to print the disclaimer we want to merge lines
# and condense whitespaces.
txt = disclaimer.replace("\n", " ")
txt = re.sub(" +", " ", txt)
# textwrap.wrap() ensures words are not broken (unlike "escpos.block_text()").
txt = textwrap.wrap(txt, width=disclaimer_width)
# Justify each line
txt = [justify(x, disclaimer_width) for x in txt]
p.set_with_default(font="b")
for l in txt:
p.textln(l)

Suggested change
txt = re.sub(" +", " ", txt)
# textwrap.wrap() ensures words are not broken (unlike "escpos.block_text()").
txt = textwrap.wrap(txt, width=disclaimer_width)
# Justify each line
txt = [justify(x, disclaimer_width) for x in txt]
p.set_with_default(font="b")
for l in txt:
p.textln(l)
p.software_columns(text_list=[txt], widths=disclaimer_width, align='left')

Again, the software_columns method is your friend here.
This will print the text in disclaimer as a single column of left aligned text wrapped to fit within 64 characters max width per line.
The only lack would be the justification of the text that I would like to see be part of the python-escpos tools in the near future.
