A flexible ASCII progress bar for your console based C++ projects.
Progress is a header-only library and can be used by simply including the progress_bar.hpp header file.
The bar takes the following options at initialization
- Limit: the total number of ticks that need to be completed
- Width: width of the bar
- Complete Char: the character to indicate completion (defaults to
=) - Incomplete Char: the character to indicate pending. (defaults to ' ')
#include "ProgressBar.hpp"
int main() {
const int limit = 10000;
{
// Initialize the bar
ProgressBar<> progressBar(total, 70);
for (int i = 0; i < total; i++) {
// Simulate work
usleep(200);
// Update the progress bar
++progressBar;
}
} // Bar finishes here
}The above code results in the following output
