Struct PatchedKitty 

pub struct PatchedKitty { /* private fields */ }

The patched kitty surface presenter: transmits the whole surface once, then per frame retransmits only the tiles whose pixels changed, each as its own small image under a stable tile id, placed over the base. The kitty protocol has no in-place pixel update (retransmitting an id replaces the image and its placements), so a tile id is simply retransmitted and its placement replaced without flicker. A frame with more damaged tiles than the patch budget, a resize, or anything that loses the base image falls back to one whole retransmit. An unchanged frame writes nothing.

The default tile side is cell.width * cell.height pixels, a multiple of both cell axes, so every tile maps to whole cells and patch edges never tear.

Implementations

impl PatchedKitty

pub fn new(base: u32, cell: CellPixels) -> Self

A presenter for surfaces drawn at cell pixel resolution, handing out image ids from base upward, tiling at the cell-derived side with the sprite-friendly budget of 64 tiles.

pub fn with_tiles( base: u32, cell: CellPixels, tile_side: u32, budget: usize, ) -> Self

A presenter with an explicit tile_side in surface pixels and budget, the damaged-tile count past which one whole retransmit wins. Fine-grained surfaces want small tiles and a high budget; the tile’s cell span always follows the surface-to-area scale.

pub fn set_cell(&mut self, cell: CellPixels)

Draw placeholder tiles for cells of cell pixels from now on, after a font zoom changed them.

pub fn repaint(&mut self)

Send every pixel again on the next frame, for when the terminal may have lost what it was showing.

pub fn free<W: Sink>(&mut self, out: &mut W) -> Result<()>

Free every image this presenter sent and repaint on the next frame.

pub fn for_multiplexer(self, space: IdSpace, relative_placements: bool) -> Self

Send every frame as small tiles for a multiplexer, which drops uploads bigger than it buffers and hides placeholder text with its pane. With relative_placements every tile sits on one placeholder anchor and stretches to its cells; without, each tile shows through placeholder text of its own, which keeps its aspect and so needs the true cell size.

pub fn render_frame<W: Sink>( &mut self, out: &mut W, surface: &Surface, area: CellRect, ) -> Result<usize>

Write one frame into area cells and return the bytes written.

Trait Implementations

impl Debug for PatchedKitty

fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter<'_>) -> Result

Formats the value using the given formatter.
