For instance, you might want to display several renderables within a :class:`~rich.panel.Panel`. + +To render two panels within a third panel, you would construct a RenderGroup with the *child* renderables as positional arguments then wrap the result in another Panel:: + + from rich import print + from rich.console import RenderGroup + from rich.panel import Panel + + panel_group = RenderGroup( + Panel("Hello", style="on blue"), + Panel("World", style="on red"), + ) + print(Panel(panel_group)) + + +This pattern is nice when you know in advance what renderables will be in a group, put can get awkward if you have a larger number of renderables, especially if they are dynamic. Rich provides a :func:`~rich.console.render_group` decorator to help with these situations. The decorator builds a render group from an iterator of renderables. The following is the equivalent of the previous example using the decorator:: + + from rich import print + from rich.console import render_group + from rich.panel import Panel + + @render_group() + def get_panels(): + yield Panel("Hello", style="on blue") + yield Panel("World", style="on red") + + print(Panel(get_panels()))
