Package: toilet
Version: 0.1-2
Severity: wishlist

Hi, thanks for developing and maintaining this nice tool!

One feature I really miss is an option to cause the output text
to be centered.

Something like the following:

$ echo ciao | toilet 
   ▗       
▞▀▖▄ ▝▀▖▞▀▖
▌ ▖▐ ▞▀▌▌ ▌
▝▀ ▀▘▝▀▘▝▀ 
$ echo ciao | toilet -c
                                     ▗       
                                  ▞▀▖▄ ▝▀▖▞▀▖
                                  ▌ ▖▐ ▞▀▌▌ ▌
                                  ▝▀ ▀▘▝▀▘▝▀ 


This option (-c or --center) would of course center the output text
inside the output width (80 characters by default, but may be
specified with the -w or --width option or set to the terminal width
with the -t or --termwidth option, as explained in tha man page)



BTW, as a temporary workaround, I am trying to find some command-line
tool to center toilet's output by post-processing it (echo ciao |
toilet | some_tool), but I'm having no luck...
Do you know of any tool that can read text lines from stdin and
write them centered to stdout?
