NicePrint

NicePrint(body, title='', verbose=True)

Print a message in a box with an optional title AND return the formatted text.

Creates a visually appealing text box using Unicode box-drawing characters that displays both in the console and can be used in PsychoPy visual stimuli. This function is particularly useful for presenting instructions, status messages, and calibration information in a consistent, professional format.

The box automatically adjusts its width to accommodate the longest line of text and centers the title if provided. The formatted output uses Unicode characters for smooth, connected borders that render well in both terminal and graphical environments.
