<p style="color: grey"> Bash recipe 578655 by <a href="/recipes/users/4177147/">Barry Walker</a> (<a href="/recipes/tags/3d/">3d</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/apple/">apple</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/bash/">bash</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/color/">color</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/colour/">colour</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/display/">display</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/linux/">linux</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/macbook_pro/">macbook_pro</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/text/">text</a>). </p> <p>This is just a simple DEMO to display a pseudo-3D effect using a bash script. It generates a recessed box and a button and writes some thext inside bot.</p> <p>There are two pieces of code, one for Linux, and one for OSX 10.7.5...</p> <p>The Linux version also works on OSX 10.7.5 but is harder to see so a near identical version using the default OSX terminal colours was craeted instead.</p> <p>You will have to split the two code pieces up yourself to run...</p> <p>Enjoy finding simple solutions to often very difficult problems...</p> <p>Bazza...</p>

Revision 2. </p> <p>This code generates a horizontal coloured real time bargraph generator anim for a Macbook Pro 13 inch, OSX 10.7.5, using the default standard Terminal only.</p> <p>It is UNTESTED on Linux variants but I would like any successful Linux tryers to make a comment in the comments section and tags will be added accordingly otherwise I will assume it does NOT work on other UNIX like variants.</p> <p>It is a derivative of my 7 bit bargraph generator for Python on this site elsewhere.</p> <p>The Terminal colours WILL be changed on running but it is simple to return it back to its original state.</p> <p>Read the code for more information.</p> <p>Enjoy, (and a Happy New Year)...</p> <p>Bazza, G0LCU...</p>
