Description

This implements an alternative vertical_overflow="tail" mode for Live, behaving somehow like "crop" but only showing the trailing lines that fit the terminal height, adding an ellipsis at the top

Here is an example:

vertical_overflow_tail

Here's the code used to generate the above asciicast:

from time import sleep
from rich.live import Live
from rich.console import Console

console = Console(
    height=5,
    force_terminal=True,
    legacy_windows=False,
    color_system=None,
    _environ={},
)
console.print("This is a console with height=5")

with Live(
    console=console,
    auto_refresh=False,
    vertical_overflow="tail",
) as live:
    display = ""
    for step in range(10):
        display += f"Step {step}\n"
        sleep(1)
        live.update(display, refresh=True)
