# Linux, (UNIX?), only. Issued as Public Domain and you may do with this as you please...
#
# This is a useful bit of simple code to generate, (in a default, 80 x 24 text window), half
# of the window with a colourbar and the other half with a greyscale. A simple piece of
# testgear of yesteryear that would be of full use inside a Console as opposed to a Terminal...
#
# To hide the cursor it assumes the "tput" command is available...
# If not then try "setterm -cursor off" in its place, see below...
#
# IMPORTANT NOTE:- The Esc sequence colours generated do NOT conform entirely to ISO 6429 standards.
# On exiting the whole window is reset back to its orginal state and cleared with a simple
# (C) line and another line printed as proof...
# A bonus section is added printing the ANSI and (NON) ISO colours, IF, available. Just scroll up and
# down to see these colours and attributes and then press Ctrl-C to finally quit.
#
# To run, type from the any version of the Python prompt......
#
# >>> exec(open("/full/path/to/Colour_Bar.py").read())<CR>
#
# ......and away you go! ;o)
#
# Tested on default Terminals in PCLinuxOS 2009 using Python 2.5.2 and 3.2.2, Debian 6.0.0 using
# Python 2.6.6, 2.7.1 and 3.1.3 and Mac OSX 10.7.5 using Python 2.5.6, 2.6.7 and 2.7.1...

# Written in such a way so that anyone can see and understand how it works...

# Enjoy finding simple solutions to often very difficult problems...
