Terminal
The terminal
module contains declarations that interact with the terminal. It provides
functionality for styling text and other characters as well as implementations for drawing
them through a Canvas
and Window
.
Examples
The majority of applications do not interact with either of the Canvas
or the Window
directly, but instead draw to the terminal using a Pencil
.
An example of direct use of these elements can be seen in window.rs
from the
examples folder of the
ruscii
repository:
fn main() {
let mut window = Window::default();
window.open();
println!("This is an open window");
std::thread::sleep(std::time::Duration::from_secs(2));
let mut default = VisualElement::default();
default.background = Color::Red;
window.canvas_mut().set_default_element(&default);
window.clear();
window.draw();
println!("With a custom background color!");
std::thread::sleep(std::time::Duration::from_secs(2));
window.close();
}
Structs
- An object that holds the data for a grid of
VisualElement
s for a single frame. - An object that exposes a
Canvas
and can write the data within it to the standard output.
Enums
- A set of common colors and a
Color::Xterm
value that allows you to pass an arbitrary ANSI 8-bit color using its Xterm number (compatible with Windows 10 and most UNIX terminals). - The font weight.
Functions
- Returns the detected size of the terminal.
