colorize - Add color to result if terminal accepts it

Description

Add ANSI color to a string using the crayon package, if the R environment accepts color. This function is needed because of the need to determine whether output can be colorized. This determination is left up to crayon::has_color().

In addition, for Rdistance results, we want to only colorize numbers, not the reporting units. Everything between the last set of square brackets ([...]) is NOT colorized.

Usage

colorize(STR, col = NULL, bg = NULL)

Arguments

STR	The string to colorize.
col	A string specifying the desired foreground color. This is passed straight to crayon::style and so must be recognized as one of the 8 base crayon colors. i.e., "black", "red", "green", "yellow", "blue", "magenta", "cyan", "white", and "silver" (silver = gray). By default, numbers are styled in "green".
bg	A string specifying the desired background color. Must be one of "bgBlack", "bgRed", "bgGreen", "bgYellow", "bgBlue" "bgMagenta", "bgCyan", or "bgWhite". By default, no background is applied.

Value

If color is not allowed in the terminal, the input string is returned unperturbed. If color is allowed, the input string is returned with color and background ANSI code surrounding the initial part of the string from character 1 to the character before the [ in the last pair of [].
