# Log
!!! tip "Added in version 0.32.0"
A Log widget displays lines of text which may be appended to in realtime.
Call [Log.write_line][textual.widgets.Log.write_line] to write a line at a time, or [Log.write_lines][textual.widgets.Log.write_lines] to write multiple lines at once. Call [Log.clear][textual.widgets.Log.clear] to clear the Log widget.
!!! tip
See also [RichLog](../widgets/rich_log.md) which can write more than just text, and supports a number of advanced features.
- [X] Focusable
- [ ] Container

```
