Console Mirroring

Panopti has a built-in floating console that relays your script's prints/errors directly to the viewer, making it easy to debug without switching between windows. The console also supports colored text. To propagate your script's print stream to the viewer, simply call capture_prints() like so:

import panopti
viewer = panopti.connect(server_url="http://localhost:8080", viewer_id='client')
viewer.capture_prints(capture_stderr=True)

print("This message will appear in the viewer!")

# Print with custom color tags:
print("[COLOR:red]This is red text[/COLOR]")
print("[COLOR:magenta]This is magenta text[/COLOR]")
print("Here is [COLOR:green]mixed[/COLOR] text [COLOR:blue]coloring[/COLOR]!")

# Print directly to the viewer console (without printing locally):
viewer.print_colored("This is a yellow message", "yellow")

# Or with ANSI color tags:
print("\033[32mThis is a green message using ANSI codes\033[0m")
print("\033[31mThis is a red message using ANSI codes\033[0m")
print("\033[33mThis is a yellow message using ANSI codes\033[0m")
print("\033[34mThis is a blue message using ANSI codes\033[0m")
print("\033[35mThis is a magenta message using ANSI codes\033[0m")

viewer.hold()

The propagated print statements are accessible in the viewer's Console, which can be opened by clicking the following button:
