```bash
rich-pyfiglet "Red Text" --colors red
```

--------------------------------

Source: https://github.com/edward-jazzhands/rich-pyfiglet/blob/main/_autodocs/usage-patterns.md

Creates a helper function to print styled header banners using predefined configurations for different styles like default, warning, and success.

```python
from rich.console import Console
from rich_pyfiglet import RichFiglet

def header(text, style="default"):
    """Print a styled header banner."""
    configs = {
        "default": {
            "font": "banner",
            "colors": ["blue"],
            "border": "ROUNDED",
        },
        "warning": {
            "font": "slant",
            "colors": ["yellow", "red"],
            "border": "HEAVY",
            "border_color": "red",
        },
        "success": {
            "font": "standard",
            "colors": ["green"],
            "border": "SIMPLE",
        },
    }
    
    config = configs.get(style, configs["default"])
    fig = RichFiglet(text, **config)
    Console().print(fig)

# Usage
header("Welcome")
header("Warning: Critical Update", style="warning")
header("Installation Complete", style="success")
```

--------------------------------

### Rich Renderable Protocol: Console Output

Source: https://github.com/edward-jazzhands/rich-pyfiglet/blob/main/_autodocs/api-reference/RichFiglet.md

Implements the Rich renderable protocol for console output. Yields Lines or a Panel for static content, or nothing for animated content to drive the Live context.

```python
def __rich_console__(self,
    console: Console,
    options: ConsoleOptions
) -> RenderResult:
```

--------------------------------

### Define Justification Modes

Source: https://github.com/edward-jazzhands/rich-pyfiglet/blob/main/_autodocs/types.md

Enumerates text justification options for banner alignment. Defaults to 'left'.

```python
JUSTIFICATION = Literal["left", "center", "right"]
```

--------------------------------

### Creating a RichFiglet Banner for Transparent Backgrounds

Source: https://github.com/edward-jazzhands/rich-pyfiglet/blob/main/_autodocs/usage-patterns.md

Banners automatically inherit the terminal's background color. Use contrasting colors for text to ensure visibility on both dark and light backgrounds.

```python
from rich_figlet import RichFiglet

# Terminal with dark background
fig = RichFiglet("Text", colors=["white"])

# Terminal with light background
fig = RichFiglet("Text", colors=["black"])
```

--------------------------------

### Render ASCII Art with Rich-PyFiglet

Source: https://github.com/edward-jazzhands/rich-pyfiglet/blob/main/_autodocs/00_START_HERE.md

```python
from rich.console import Console
from rich_pyfiglet import RichFiglet

console = Console()
fig = RichFiglet("Hello World", font="banner")
console.print(fig)
```

--------------------------------

### Import RichFiglet

Source: https://github.com/edward-jazzhands/rich-pyfiglet/blob/main/docs/docs.md

Import the RichFiglet class into your Python project.

```py
from rich_pyfiglet import RichFiglet
```

--------------------------------

### CLI Entry Point

Source: https://github.com/edward-jazzhands/rich-pyfiglet/blob/main/_autodocs/api-reference/modules.md

```python
from rich_pyfiglet.cli import cli

if __name__ == "__main__":
    cli()  # Entry point for command-line
```

--------------------------------

### Auto Width Configuration

Source: https://github.com/edward-jazzhands/rich-pyfiglet/blob/main/_autodocs/configuration.md

Render text using the full terminal width, automatically detected by the constructor.

```python
RichFiglet("Text")  # Uses terminal width
```

--------------------------------

### Render Text with Justification

Source: https://github.com/edward-jazzhands/rich-pyfiglet/blob/main/_autodocs/api-reference/CLI.md

Align the rendered text using the `--justify` option. Options include `left`, `center`, and `right`.

```bash
rich-pyfiglet "Center" --justify center
```

--------------------------------

### Testing RichFiglet Banners with Fixed Settings

Source: https://github.com/edward-jazzhands/rich-pyfiglet/blob/main/_autodocs/usage-patterns.md

For deterministic output in tests, configure `RichFiglet` with fixed settings such as font, width, and colors. Disabling `dev_mode` prevents stderr output.

```python
from rich_figlet import RichFiglet

def test_banner_rendering():
    fig = RichFiglet(
        "Test",
        font="standard",
        width=80,  # Fixed width
        colors=["blue"],  # No animation
        dev_mode=False,  # No stderr output
    )
    # Render to console for snapshot comparison
```

--------------------------------

### Integrating Figlet Banners with Logging

Source: https://github.com/edward-jazzhands/rich-pyfiglet/blob/main/_autodocs/usage-patterns.md

Uses RichHandler to set up logging and Rich-PyFiglet to print stylized section headers before and after logging messages.

```python
import logging
from rich.console import Console
from rich_pyfiglet import RichFiglet
from rich.logging import RichHandler

# Setup logging with Rich
console = Console()
logging.basicConfig(
    level=logging.INFO,
    format="%(message)s",
    handlers=[RichHandler(console=console)],
)
logger = logging.getLogger(__name__)

# Print section headers with banners
fig = RichFiglet("Database Sync", font="slant", colors=["cyan"])
console.print(fig)

logger.info("Connecting to database...")
logger.info("Syncing records...")
logger.info("Verifying data...")

fig = RichFiglet("Sync Complete", font="slant", colors=["green"])
console.print(fig)
```

--------------------------------

### Package Root Export

Source: https://github.com/edward-jazzhands/rich-pyfiglet/blob/main/_autodocs/api-reference/modules.md

```python
from rich_pyfiglet.rich_figlet import RichFiglet

__all__ = ["RichFiglet"]
```
