+# Block Progress Bar
 
 Are you in need of a smooth block progress bar using [unicode block elements](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Block_Elements)? Use `BlockProgressBar` instead of `ProgressBar`. Thanks to [this blog post](https://mike42.me/blog/2018-06-make-better-cli-progress-bars-with-unicode-block-characters) for making `BlockProgressBar` an easy addition to the library.

 ProgressSpinner has a vector of strings: `spinner_states`. At each update, the spinner will pick the next string from this sequence to print to the console. The spinner state can be updated similarly to ProgressBars: Using either `tick()` or `set_progress(value)`.
