Struct BufferView 

pub struct BufferView<'a, R: StyleResolver> {
    pub buffer: &'a Buffer,
    pub selection: Option<Selection>,
    pub resolver: &'a R,
    pub cursor_line_bg: Style,
    pub cursor_column_bg: Style,
    pub selection_bg: Style,
    pub cursor_style: Style,
    pub gutter: Option<Gutter>,
    pub search_bg: Style,
    pub signs: &'a [Sign],
    pub conceals: &'a [Conceal],
}

Render-time wrapper around &Buffer that carries the optional Selection + a StyleResolver. Created per draw, dropped when the frame is done — cheap, holds only refs.

Fields

buffer: &'a Buffer

selection: Option<Selection>

resolver: &'a R

cursor_line_bg: Style

Bg painted across the cursor row (vim’s cursorline). Pass Style::default() to disable.

cursor_column_bg: Style

Bg painted down the cursor column (vim’s cursorcolumn). Pass Style::default() to disable.

selection_bg: Style

Bg painted under selected cells. Composed over syntax fg.

cursor_style: Style

Style for the cursor cell. REVERSED is the conventional choice; works against any theme.

gutter: Option<Gutter>

Optional left-side line-number gutter. width includes the trailing space separating the number from text. Pass None to disable. Numbers are 1-based, right-aligned.

search_bg: Style

Bg painted under cells covered by an active / search match (read from Buffer::search_pattern). Style::default() to disable.

signs: &'a [Sign]

Per-row gutter signs (LSP diagnostic dots, git diff markers, …). Painted into the leftmost gutter column after the line number, so they overwrite the leading space tui-style gutters reserve. Highest-priority sign per row wins.

conceals: &'a [Conceal]

Per-row substitutions applied at render time. Each conceal hides the byte range [start_byte, end_byte) and paints replacement in its place. Empty slice = no conceals.

Trait Implementations

impl<R: StyleResolver> Widget for BufferView<'_, R>

fn render(self, area: Rect, term_buf: &mut TermBuffer)

Draws the current state of the widget in the given buffer. That is the only method required to implement a custom widget.
