A text progress bar is typically used to display the progress of a long running operation, providing a visual cue that processing is underway.

The ProgressBar class manages the current progress, and the format of the line is given by a number of widgets. A widget is an object that may display differently depending on the state of the progress bar. There are many types of widgets:

• Timer
• ETA
• AdaptiveETA
• FileTransferSpeed
• AdaptiveTransferSpeed
• AnimatedMarker
• Counter
• Percentage
• FormatLabel
• SimpleProgress
• Bar
• ReverseBar
• BouncingBar
• RotatingMarker
• DynamicMessage

The progressbar module is very easy to use, yet very powerful. It will also automatically enable features like auto-resizing when the system supports it.
