Function ncursesw::bkgdset[][src]

pub fn bkgdset(ch: ChtypeChar)
Expand description

Manipulate the background of the standard screen.

The window background is a chtype consisting of any combination of attributes (i.e., rendition) and a character. The attribute part of the background is combined (OR’ed) with all non-blank characters that are written into the window with waddch. Both the character and attribute parts of the background are combined with the blank characters. The background becomes a property of the character and moves with the character through any scrolling and insert/delete line/character operations.

To the extent possible on a particular terminal, the attribute part of the background is displayed as the graphic rendition of the character put on the screen.

Example

extern crate ncursesw;

use ncursesw::*;
use shims::ncurses::ACS_CKBOARD;

bkgdset(ChtypeChar::from_chtype(ACS_CKBOARD()));
