#![crate_name = "term_grid"] #![crate_type = "rlib"] #![crate_type = "dylib"] #![warn(missing_copy_implementations)] #![warn(missing_debug_implementations)] #![warn(missing_docs)] //! ## Introduction //! //! This library arranges textual data in a grid format suitable for fixed-width fonts, using an algorithm to minimise the amount of space needed. For example: //! //! ```rust //! let mut grid = Grid::new(GridOptions { //! separator_width: 1, //! direction: Direction::LeftToRight, //! }); //! //! for s in vec!["one", "two", "three", "four", "five", "six", "seven", //! "eight", "nine", "ten", "eleven", "twelve"] { //! grid.add(s.into()); //! } //! //! println!("{}", grid.fit_into_width(24).unwrap()); //! ``` //! //! Produces the following tabular result: //! //! one two three four //! five six seven eight //! nine ten eleven twelve //! //! //! ## Creating a Grid //! //! To add data to a grid, first create a new `Grid` object, and then add cells to //! them with the `add` method. //! //! There are two options that must be specified in the `GridOptions` object that //! dictate how the grid is formatted: //! //! - `separator_width`: the number of space characters to be placed between two //! columns; //! - `direction`, which specifies whether the cells should go along //! rows, or columns: //! - `Direction::LeftToRight` starts them in the top left and //! moves *rightwards*, going to the start of a new row after reaching the //! final column; //! - `Direction::TopToBottom` starts them in the top left and moves //! *downwards*, going to the top of a new column after reaching the final //! row. //! //! //! ## Displaying a Grid //! //! When display a grid, you can either specify the number of columns in advance, //! or try to find the maximum number of columns that can fit in an area of a //! given width. //! //! Splitting a series of cells into columns - or, in other words, starting a new //! row every *n* cells - is achieved with the `fit_into_columns` method on a //! `Grid` value. It takes as its argument the number of columns. //! //! Trying to fit as much data onto one screen as possible is the main use case //! for specifying a maximum width instead. This is achieved with the //! `fit_into_width` method. It takes the maximum allowed width, including //! separators, as its argument. However, it returns an *optional* `Display` //! value, depending on whether any of the cells actually had a width greater than //! the maximum width! If this is the case, your best bet is to just output the //! cells with one per line. //! //! //! ## Cells and Data //! //! Grids to not take `String`s or `&str`s - they take `Cells`. //! //! A **Cell** is a struct containing an individual cell's contents, as a string, //! and its pre-computed length, which gets used when calculating a grid's final //! dimensions. Usually, you want the *Unicode width* of the string to be used for //! this, so you can turn a `String` into a `Cell` with the `.into()` method. //! //! However, you may also want to supply your own width: when you already know the //! width in advance, or when you want to change the measurement, such as skipping //! over terminal control characters. For cases like these, the fields on the //! `Cell` objects are public, meaning you can construct your own instances as //! necessary. use std::cmp::max; use std::convert; use std::fmt; use std::iter::repeat; extern crate unicode_width; use unicode_width::UnicodeWidthStr; /// A **Cell** is the combination of a string and its pre-computed length. /// /// The easiest way to create a Cell is just by using `string.into()`, which /// uses the **unicode width** of the string (see the `unicode_width` crate). /// However, the fields are public, if you wish to provide your own length. #[derive(PartialEq, Debug)] pub struct Cell { /// The string to display when this cell gets rendered. pub contents: String, /// The pre-computed length of the string. pub width: Width, } impl convert::From<String> for Cell { fn from(string: String) -> Self { Cell { width: UnicodeWidthStr::width(&*string), contents: string, } } } /// Direction cells should be written in - either across, or downwards. #[derive(PartialEq, Debug, Copy, Clone)] pub enum Direction { /// Starts at the top left and moves rightwards, going back to the first /// column for a new row - like a typewriter.
