Every value of SpinnersType, with a sample of its animation frames (shown in cycle order). For how
to use spinners and the automatic ASCII fallback, see Spinners.
Notes on this page:
- Long animations are trimmed to a representative slice, ending with
….- Bold names are pure ASCII; the rest need a Unicode-capable terminal (emoji spinners also need an emoji-capable font).
- On terminals without Unicode support, any spinner is automatically replaced by
Ascii(-\|/) — see Automatic ASCII fallback.- How wide glyphs render (emoji, box-drawing) depends on your terminal font; slight misalignment there is a font issue, not a library one.
