This represents an essentially complete rewrite of ncvisual and associated code. It had two major goals:
Improve the ncvisual API based off lessons learned, pursuant to the upcoming API freeze. In particular, I wanted to:
decouple ncvisuals from ncplanes. It should be possible to render a ncvisual to multiple planes, with different scaling each time. It should be possible to create an ncvisual without a plane, etc.
normalize the various ways of constructing an ncvisual -- file, memory, plane, etc.
Support multiple blitters, from 7-bit ASCII to Sixel. This required writing the blitters in several cases, and they're not yet in their final implementations (but the API is fine)
I have not yet unified Plots and Visuals, and might not, given that the Plot code works fine. We could at this point implement Plots in terms of Visuals, though -- the blitter backend range has been unified. Sixel is not yet implemented, though it is listed.
There is a new POC tool, blitter. It renders its arguments using all possible blitter+scaling combinations. Another new POC, resize, displays its argument, then resizes it to the screen size and displays that, explicitly making use of ncvisual_resize() rather than a scaling parameter to ncvisual_render().
This also eliminates some memory leaks and bugs we were seeing in trunk, and brings in Sixel scaffolding.
The C++ wrapper will also need patching back up; I cut most of it down while wrestling with this crap, urk.
Closes#638, #562, and #622.
This commit introduces the same shared library versioning scheme as used
by the SDL library. The advantage is that different versions of
notcurses can be installed alongside each other (which is not an
unlikely scenario, as SDL itself certifies) and that, if the versioning
protocol is followed, any change to ABI will produce a DSO whose name
will not break any applications linked against any previous version.
* fedora: dep on OpenImageIO, and use it
* fedora: dep on libqrcodegen-devel
* fedora: BuildRequires OpenEXR-devel
* tight check on USE_MULTIMEDIA
* CMake: enable notcurses-view for ffmpeg OR oiio
* notcurses-view: don't reach into libav
* oiio: ncvisual_render() #453
* oiio: need our own properly-offset ncvisual_plane()
* `visual` poc: accept optional command line argument
* oiio: work for 3-channel images #453
* oiio: destroy ncvisual's plane if we own it #453
* notcurses_visual.3: s/FFmpeg/multimedia/g
