Struct Window 

pub struct Window { /* private fields */ }

A curses window.

It will clean up itself on destruction.

Many curses functions have been renamed for one reason or another. All renamed functions state the curses function they corollate to.

Implementations

impl Window

pub fn put_char<T: Into<Chtype>>(&mut self, ch: T) -> Result<(), ()>

This corresponds to addch.

pub fn printw(&mut self, args: Arguments<'_>) -> Result<(), ()>

Print a formatted string at the point.

This corresponds to printw. It does not use printw under the hood because that function cannot be safe to use within rust code because rust does not allow for variadic arguments.

pub fn put_window(&mut self, source: &Window) -> Result<(), ()>

Put the contents of source that overlap with this Window.

The two Windows are not required to be the same size; overlapping portions are copied.

This corresponds to overwrite but with the arguments flipped.

Put the contents of source in a region at a region of this Window.

The two regions are not required to be the same size; overlapping portions are copied.

This corresponds to copywin but with the arguments flipped and a final argument of true.

pub fn put_window_text(&mut self, source: &Window) -> Result<(), ()>

Put the non-blank contents of source that overlap with this Window.

This sets the attributes of every character to the attributes of background and replaces old background characters with background.

This corresponds to bkgd.

pub fn clear(&mut self) -> Result<(), ()>

Clear the screen.

This fills the screen with background characters. This can be customized via set_background.

Unlike erase, clear will also invoke force a the next call to refresh to clear the screen (as if by refresh_force_clear).

pub fn erase(&mut self) -> Result<(), ()>

Clear the virtual screen.

See clear for a comparison of these two methods.

pub fn clear_to_bottom(&mut self) -> Result<(), ()>

Erase all characters after the point.

This will clear to the end of the line, then clear each line after the one the point is on.

This corresponds to clrtobot.

pub fn clear_to_end_of_line(&mut self) -> Result<(), ()>

Erase all characters to the right of the point on this line.

This corresponds to clrtobot.

Delete the line the point is on.

This will shift left the characters on the rest of the line.

This corresponds to delch.

pub fn delete_window(self) -> Result<(), ()>

Get the size of the Window.

This corresponds to get_max_yx.

pub fn insert_lines(&mut self, n: i32) -> Result<(), ()>

Insert n blank lines above the cursor.

If n > 0, then n blank lines are inserted above the cursor. The last n lines of the screen are lost.

If n < 0, then n lines below the cursor are deleted and the rest are shifted up. This clears the bottom n lines of the screen.

The point remains the same after this operation.

This corresponds to insdelln.

pub fn insert_line(&mut self) -> Result<(), ()>

Insert a blank line above the current line.

This effectively erases the last line on the screen.

The point remains the same after this operation.

This corresponds to insertln.

pub fn insert_char<T: Into<Chtype>>(&self, ch: T) -> Result<(), ()>

Insert a character into the current line.

This shifts to the right characters after the cursor. The rightmost character will thus be lost.

The point remains the same after this operation.

This corresponds to insch.

pub fn window_to_screen<P: Into<Point>>(&self, p: P) -> Point

Transform the point p from Window-relative to screen-relative.

This corresponds to mouse_trafo.

pub fn screen_to_window<P: Into<Point>>(&self, p: P) -> Point

Transform the point p from screen-relative to Window-relative.

This corresponds to mouse_trafo.

pub fn move_to<P: Into<Point>>(&mut self, p: P) -> Result<(), ()>

Move to the point to p.

This corresponds to mv.

pub fn move_put_char<P: Into<Point>, T: Into<Chtype>>( &mut self, p: P, ch: T, ) -> Result<(), ()>

Move to the point p then put ch at that point.

This corresponds to mvaddch.

Move to the point p then change the attributes of n characters after that point.

This corresponds to mvchgat.

pub fn move_get_char<P: Into<Point>>(&mut self, p: P) -> Chtype

Move the Window such that it starts at p on the screen.

This corresponds to mvwin.

pub fn read_char(&mut self) -> Option<Input>

Read a key event from the Window.

The exact behavior of this procedure depends on other configuration procedures.

• To set how we handle a lack of input (with regard to blocking/unblocking) set_block_on_read, set_timeout, and Curses::set_timeout.

• To set how function keys are handled, see read_interpolate_function_keys.

• To set how new lines are handled, see Curses::set_translate_new_lines.

• To set how input is buffered, see Curses::set_input_buffering_mode.

• To control whether curses will automatically echo characters see Curses::set_echo_input.

This corresponds to getch.

pub fn unread_char(&mut self, input: &Input) -> Result<(), ()>

Place input into the front of the input queue.

Thus the next call to read_char will return input.

This corresponds to ungetch.

pub fn set_block_on_read(&mut self, block: bool) -> Result<(), ()>

Set whether [read_char] will block until an input is ready.

With an argument true, [read_char] will block until it receives an input to yield.

With an argument false, [read_char] will immediately return None if there is no input to yield.

This corresponds to nodelay(!block).

pub fn set_timeout(&self, duration: Option<Duration>)

[read_char] will block for at most duration and wait for input.

duration is rounded down to the nearest millisecond. This will only change the way input is read in this Window. To set it for all Windows, see Curses::set_timeout.

From reading the ncurses source code, I have deduced that this is overriden by the global Curses’s timeout (see Curses::set_timeout).

Use None as the timeout to stop this.

This corresponds to timeout.

pub fn read_interpolate_function_keys( &mut self, interpolate: bool, ) -> Result<(), ()>

Enable or disable function key interpolation.

When enabled and a function key is pressed, read_char will return a single value representing the function key instead of a series of escape sequences.

When disabled and a function key is pressed, read_char will return a series of escape sequences instead of a single value representing the function key.

It is disabled by default.

This corresponds to keypad.

pub fn refresh(&mut self) -> Result<(), ()>

Copy this Window to the physical screen.

This corresponds to wrefresh.

pub fn refresh_virtual_screen(&mut self) -> Result<(), ()>

Refresh the virtual screen.

This is much faster if multiple Windows have to be refreshed.

To push the virtual screen changes to the physical screen, use Curses::update.

This corresponds to wnoutrefresh.

pub fn refresh_force_clear(&mut self, force_clear: bool) -> Result<(), ()>

Make the next call to refresh clear and then rerender.

This corresponds to clearok.

pub fn set_scroll_enabled(&mut self, scroll: bool) -> Result<(), ()>

Enable or disable scrolling.

This corresponds to scrollok.

pub fn set_scroll_region(&mut self, start: i32, end: i32) -> Result<(), ()>

Set a software scrolling region.

This will do nothing unless scrolling has been enabled (see set_scroll_enabled).

This corresponds to setscrreg.

pub fn create_sub_window<P: Into<Point>, D: Into<Dimension>>( &self, point: P, size: D, ) -> Result<Window, ()>

Create a new window

This corresponds to subwin. Note that the arguments have been reordered to be more consistent with other functions.

pub fn touched(&self) -> bool

Test if this Window has been modified since the last call to refresh.

This corresponds to is_wintouched.

pub fn line_touched(&self, line: i32) -> bool

Test if the specified line has been modified since the last call to refresh.

This corresponds to is_linetouched.

pub fn touch(&mut self) -> Result<(), ()>

Force the entire Window to be redrawn upon the next call to refresh.

This corresponds to touchwin.

pub fn touch_lines(&mut self, start: i32, count: i32) -> Result<(), ()>

Force the specified lines to be redrawn upon the next call to refresh.

This corresponds to touchline.

pub fn untouch(&mut self) -> Result<(), ()>

Pretend this Window hasn’t changed and thus won’t redraw it upon the next call to refresh.

This corresponds to touchline.

pub fn untouch_lines(&mut self, start: i32, count: i32) -> Result<(), ()>

Pretend the specified lines haven’t changed and thus won’t redraw it upon the next call to refresh.

This corresponds to touchline.
