About - What is a Figlet?
A Figlet is a text based way to add large block text to your code or chats. There are a variety of "Fonts" available that you'll find listed along the left side of the screen.
To use in your code
The easiest way to is make a multiline string in your code using triple quotes:
'''
This is a multiline string
Line 2
'''
You can simply paste your Figlet into one of these multiline comments. They work well at breaking up your code into chunks
'''
oo

Origins and Underlying Package
Origination of GUI
The code has roots in a program developed by @nycynik that you'll find in the repo:
https://github.com/nycynik/ascii-font-processor
@nycynik has kindly licensed his code using an MIT license.
Underlying Package Required
Without pyfiglet none of this would be possible. It's at the core of the program since it's what actually makes the figlet. The PySimpleGUI portion is a front-end integration. Information is collected from the user, the pyfiglet package is called to convert the input string and then the results are displayed in the GUI.
They were kind enough to license this code using an MIT license.
pyfiglet - https://github.com/pwaller/pyfiglet
If you pip install psgfiglet
it will also install pyfiglet for you.
Of course you'll need PySimpleGUI as well.
