Add `notcurses_check_pixel_support()` and
`ncdirect_check_pixel_support()` per #1367. Removes
NCOPTION_VERIFY_SIXEL, again per #1367. Adds
`free_terminfo_cache()`, and calls it from both
`notcurses_stop_minimal()` and `ncdirect_stop()`.
Update all documentation. Closes#1371 and #1367.
notcurses_stats() and notcurses_stats_reset() now take the
new statlock member, as do stat modifications from render,
raster, writeout, resize, plane creation, and plane
destruction. Add nonnull attributes to stats API. Initialize
and destroy statlock as part of notcurses struct. Update
documentation. Free pilelock on error paths. Closes#1139.
After a long delay, apologies :)
Added:
* NotCurses: `can_sextant` (`notcurses_cansextant`)
* Notcurses: `linesigs_enable` (`notcurses_linesigs_enable`)
* Notcurses: `linesigs_disable` (`notcurses_linesigs_disable`)
* Pile: `top_with` (`ncpile_top`)
* Pile: `bottom_with` (`ncpile_bottom`)
* Plane: `resize_maximize` (`ncplane_resize_maximize`)
* Plane: `get_abs_x` (`ncplane_abs_x`)
* Plane: `get_abs_y` (`ncplane_abs_y`)
* Plane: `get_abs_yx` (`ncplane_abs_yx`)
* Plane: `load_egc32` (`cell_load_egc32`)
* Plane: `is_descendant_of` (`ncplane_descendant_p`)
* Progbar: new class, wraps `ncprogbar_*`
Changed:
* Plane (ABI break): `at_cursor` overloads now return `int` where
before they returned `bool` because the underlying Notcurses API
only signalled the operation status with the return value while now
it returns actual information.
Eliminate NCDIRECT_OPTION_NO_READLINE (it was only introduced in
Notcurses 2.1.6). Add a new function, ncdirect_readline(). Upon
first call to this function, initialize libreadline. Destroy
libreadline in ncdirect_stop() iff we initialized it. Add
hilodirect guessing game PoC from #1325. Rename
notcurses_directmode.3 to notcurses_direct.3. Closes#1326.
Implement channels_set_fg_palindex() and channels_set_bg_palindex()
in terms of channel_set_palindex(). Add missing entries to
notcurses_channels.3 man page. Use uint32_t in place of unsigned
when dealing with channels in notcurses.h.
Reclaim the "blitted" and "full foreground" bits in the
channels. Instead, we now write four bits, encoding the
four quadrants we might occupy as the result of a blit.
These four imply the previous two, leaving us with four
free bits remaining in the channels. This opens a clear
path to O(1)-time, zero-space blitter stacking #1068.
w00t!
For properly stacking transparent blittings (#1068), we
need tag those cells which both (1) originated in an
ncvisual operation and (2) have some transparency. For
the three affected blitters (halfblock, quadrant, and
sexblitter), call cell_set_blitted().
Rather than trying to force things in via library constructors
and weak symbols and --whole-archive and pkg-config tricks, just
add new functions ncdirect_core_init() and notcurses_core_init().
libnotcurses has ncdirect_init() and notcurses_init(), which pass
through to these. apps linking against notcurses-core ought use
the _core_ variants directly. This gets exactly the linkage we
want, everywhere. Convert many PoCs to _core_ variants. #1301

ncplane_destroy() needs to call ncplane_reparent_family(), not
ncplane_reparent() as it was doing (closes#1291). ->absy and
->absx actually are absolute; return them directly for an O(1)
ncplane_abs_yx() (down from O(N), huzzah). Add some unit tests
related to destroying and reparenting (#1286). Add ncplane_abs_y()
and ncplane_abs_x(), document them, etc.
Don't bias the nccell width by 1, or 0-length EGCs become
255 columns. We weren't actually using the width to drive
much anything until now, so this wasn't a problem, but it
is exposed as an error once we got rid of CELL_WIDE_ASIAN
and start looping through the actual egc column width.
Closes#1278, closes#1277
Improve the documentation for ncplane_set_base_cell() and
ncplane_set_base(). Go by render.c's authority (all three
channels are independently checked for transparency, and
replaced with the base cell if so--egc, fg, and bg). Add a
BASE CELL section to notcurses_plane.3. Check for, and reject,
an nccell which is secondary among a multicolumn EGC.
Closes#1238.
Add a new member 'sextants' to the terminfo cache (both
notcurses and ncvisual contain one of these, and both
initialize it the same way -- interrogate_terminfo()).
Add a new function, 'notcurses_media_defblitter()', and
deprecate 'ncvisual_default_blitter()' (the latter didn't
receive enough information to return NCBLIT_3x2). Update
all callers. Add new *internal* function rgba_default_blitter(),
so this logic can be freely changed in the future. If
sextants are available, and we're scaling, return NCBLIT_3x2.
Once we detect sextant availability, we'll have sexblitter
as a default -- stay tuned! #1114
Thread out ncls to perform the media decode in different threads, in parallel. Only the display needs be locked. On a directory of 200 files on my 39070X, this speeds ncls from ~5s to ~1s. On 75 files, we go from ~.5s to ~.2s. On a single file, we lose about 5%. To facilitate this, ncdirect_render_image() has been split into two helpers, ncdirect_render_frame() and ncdirect_raster_frame().
Progress bars now support four 32-bit channels in ncprogbar_options, and uses them to color a gradient. The redraw procedure has been changed from O(n) to O(1). ASCII progress bars have been repaired. Closes#1213.
Some EGCs are more than 2 columns (wcwidth() never returns more than 2, so far as i can tell, but when multiple characters combine, we use the sum). An example would be ကြေ (Myanmar) which occupies three columns over the course of three characters. Track the width (biased by 1) in cell->width, taking over 8 bits from cell->reserved. Use this width in rasterization. Closes#1203.
- Disambiguate the docs for ncplane_erase()
- Add ncpile_top(), ncpile_bottom()
- Refuse attempts to modify the standard plane's resizecb
- Copy alignment and resizecb in ncplane_dup()
- Add cell_load_egc32()
CMake:
Simplify cmake target+version config generation and make it actually
work. With the changes it is now possible to detect and use
`Notcurses` in the following way:
find_package(Notcurses REQUIRED)
...
target_link_libraries(myapp PRIVATE notcurses::notcurses)
Also, added the same CMake configuration for `Notcurses++`, to be used
in the following way:
find_package(Notcurses REQUIRED
find_package(Notcurses++ REQUIRED)
...
target_link_libraries(myapp PRIVATE notcurses++::notcurses++)
Docs:
`notcurses_cell(3)`: `cell_styles_{on,off} -> cell_{on,off}_styles`
and `cell_load_simple` -> `cell_load_char`
C++ API:
* Plane: added constructors taking `ncplane_options const&` instead of
the multitude of individual parameters
* Plane: drop `struct` when `ncplane_options` is used.
* Plane: added `strdup` (`cell_strdup`)
* Plane: added `extract` (`cell_extract`)
Added:
* Pile: new class derived from Plane, which implements all the
`ncpile_*` calls
* Plane: `get_parent` (`ncplane_parent`)
* Plane: protected constructor for use by `Pile` (or other derived
classes which cannot provide a valid `ncplane*` when invoking parent
constructor.
* Plane: `set_plane` for use by the derived classes above.
Changed:
* Plane: `to_ncplane` is a `const` method now.
Fixes: https://github.com/dankamongmen/notcurses/issues/1009
Whenever a widget is created with its `*_create` function it currently
claims full ownership of the passed panel, including its destruction.
However, the C++ wrapper around the panel is not aware of this and will
attempt to destroy the native panel in the destructor, leading to
segfaults.
Fix this by introduction of a `Widget` class which contains the logic to
properly modify the `Panel` instance to not double-destroy the native
panel. The solution is a bit fragile since the `Panel` instance is left
intact (we can't free it for the user) in a state that's safe for the
C++ wrapper, but calling any C function via the wrapper **will** pass a
`NULL` pointer in the panel argument - therefore the C functions MUST be
proofed against this. The proofing belongs in the C backend code since
this protects also C and other language binding users from such abuse.
The Widget class will first verify that the passed `Plane` instance
hasn't already been "disowned" and will throw an exception to the effect
if it was. Next, it will proceed to take over ownership of the native
panel instance and mark the passed `Panel` as "invalid" (i.e. not owning
any native panel instance anymore)
The above changes require modification of `Panel` instances and so all
the widget constructors taking `const*` or `const&` have been removed
from widget classes.
notcurses_enable_cursor() now accepts placement arguments.
both it and notcurses_disable_cursor() now return int rather
than void. add notcurses_cursor_move_yx().
* Reimplement the widget zoo demo. The previous PoC
was a multithreaded monster with behavior dependent
on screen geometry. Replace it with a single thread state
machine. Closes#936.
* Support titles for ncplot. Adds title to the ncplot_options
struct, which may be NULL. Closes#941 .
* Properly color ncplot according to maxchannels and
minchannels. Closes#940
* Add tools/function-table.sh script for generating public API list.
Maybe the type may reflect that it's not supposed to be a long now.
Although for what I've learnt about C, in practice it will probably still be a long. And I can't be sure whether in some platforms where it will indeed be a short the code will keep compiling, so maybe it's safer just to remove the outdated comment, or whatever you decide.
I'm just finding things while I work in the bindings =) And I was surprised to learn about the little guarantees C gives regarding the types sizes...
Get notcurses-tetris working again, since its collision
detection relied on simple vs non-simple EGCs, which are
no longer an operative concept. Closes#899.
not caring about endianness is the opiate of the masses.
happy, happy masses. remove endianness.h and all its baleful
influence by explicitly breaking up the cell structure. #892
* The zoo demo made manifest that we had some serious problems handling sequences of longer lines in ncplane_puttext(). This remedies most of the problems, though it's not yet perfect. #871
* Guard notcurses* for NULL in log*() #878#879
* Fix memory leak in ncdirect_dump_plane()
New reel layout algorithm based on trimming and sifting. Fixes the original issue of #818, though I'm not marking that bug fixed until I've resolved the little issues remaining with this one.
Back off CMake version dependency, see if we can get by with 3.11.4 for EPEL8 #851
Simplify tablet drawing tremendously by separating tablet border and data planes. Callbacks no longer need worry about the borders; they can simply fill the plane they're handed. #833

* linuxconsole: show 7 glyphs per 'line'
* linuxconjammer: shim console font with half blocks
* signals: handler for SIGTERM
* man pages: update notcurses_init() for options
* add NCOPTION_NO_FONT_CHANGES #201
Tons of work on ncreel (#627, #749, #694)
Improve reel demo: get input wired up once more, avoid the FPS demo at bottom, print pointer and line count in each tablet, use new ncreel API. Improve notcurses-ncreel explorer: kill memory leaks (#694), draw tablets better, use new ncreel API. Fix bug in ncreel core where cruft could be left on the screen, via a very gross brute force algorithm. I'll likely come back and make this a bit less ghastly in the future #749. Remove weird one-off input system from ncreel, residue from outcurses. Make some of the normalizing changes speced out in #627

CELL_ALPHA_OPAQUE et al were defined as 0..3, meaning
CELL_ALPHA_SHIFT had to be used to compare them to their
channel representations. Instead, define them in said
representation outright, eliminating the need to shift while
retaining arithmetic properties, and zero initialization for
CELL_ALPHA_OPAQUE. Eliminate CELL_ALPHA_SHIFT #738.
Add convenience function ncplane_home(). Add an ncblitter_e param
to ncplane_qrcode(), and split int maxversion into value-result
int* ymax and int* xmax. Write the actual sizes of the resulting
visual into these parameters. Update the qrcode demo. Add the
qrcode PoC. Update demos to ncplane_home(), where possible.
ncplane_qrcode() now takes an ncblitter_e and two value-result int*s
in the place of a single value int. The final size of the displayed qrcode
is written to *ymax and *xmax. If the code can't fit within the specified
dimensions, an error is returned. Standard rules for pluggable blitters
apply regarding fallback etc. #699
The Plot unit tests were reaching directly into the objects,
which meant the implementations couldn't include anything
we didn't want public. This was annoying, so I've changed it.
This required adding ncdplot_sample() and ncuplot_sample(),
which we should have had anyway.
Each plane has a "base cell", which like all other cells is
initialized to the null glyph, opaque default foreground color,
and opaque default background color. Prior to this change, at
each cell of a plane, we decided whether to use that cell (the
"viscell") or the base cell depending on whether the viscell had
a non-null glyph. We now evaluate each component independently.
If the viscell has a null glyph, we use the base cell's glyph.
If the viscell has a default foreground, we use the base's fg.
If the viscell has a default background, we use the base's bg.
This was done because (a) it seems more intuitive (if I set a cell
to red, I expect red, not red iff there's a glyph in that cell
for this plane), and (b) because otherwise it was impossible to
do a multicolor overlay without blowing away underlying glyphs
(since without a glyph, you always reduced to the same base cell,
which could have only one fore- and background per render).
Existing code will need to change any instances where cells
lacking glyphs are colored, and those colors are not desired.
Since any such coloring had no effect before, it seems unlikely
that any ought exist (this did bring to light an instance in
the "qrcode" demo where we were staining overmuch of the plane).
This closes#395, the last big open worry regarding our API.
In order to properly determine the scaling of an ncvisual to
be rendered, ncvisual_geom() needs know the blitting method.
For this reason, it took an ncblitter_e argument. It also,
however, needs handle degradation, which means knowing whether
NCVISUAL_OPTIONS_NODEGRADE is in use. It thus really wants the
struct ncvisual_options. Pass and accept it. Closes#697, and
fixes the "yield" demo in ASCII mode (#696).
Very simple take at ncplane_puttext(), a new function for linebroken text. Also some very basic unit tests. I doubt this works very well yet, but it handles the simplest cases #682. Added nclog(), internal function for logging. #520
Whip the ol' llama's ass (fix ncvisual rotation)

* ffmpeg ncvisual: fix rotation #662
If we're in ASCII mode, no blitter except for NCBLIT_1x1 is going to
work. Whenever NCBLIT_DEFAULT is provided, select NCBLIT_1x1 if we're
in ASCII mode. Add NCVISUAL_OPTIONS_MAYDEGRADE and
NCPLOT_OPTIONS_MAYDEGRADE. Both serve to allow smooth degradation when a
blitter other than NCBLIT_DEFAULT has been provided. Closes#637.
Make calc_gradient_cell() static inline so our templated ncppplot
implementation can use it (ugh). When using NCBLIT_1x1 for plots in
ASCII mode, use space rather than full block, and invert colors.
Use NCBLIT_DEFAULT in the demo for the FPS plot.
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 is to make it possible, in the future, to create multiple instances
of `NotCurses` for multiple terminals. The first instance of
`NotCurses` becomes the default one, so that any instances of other
classes that aren't explicitly created with a pointer to another
`NotCurses` instance still work as expected.
Note that currently trying to call `notcurses_init` twice results in the
following error for me:
0x55555559bfc0 is already registered for signals
Couldn't drop signals: 0x55555559bfc0 != 0x5555555b6720
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'ncpp::init_error*'
Program received signal SIGABRT, Aborted.
The error is signalled by `setup_signals` and the pointer shown in the
message points to the first `struct notcurses` instance created.

SIGSEGV was caused by an invalid cast.
Short explanation: PEBKAC
Long explanation: `Selector.hh`, `Plot.hh` and `MultiSelector.hh` did
not include `Plane.hh`, they merely declared `class Plane;` because
inclusion of `Plane.hh` would cause circular dependencies to appear and
the compiler would be unhappy. On top of that, yours truly wrenched the
compiler's hands and caused it to believe that a pointer to `Plane` is
really a pointer to `ncplane*` which was quite a silly thing to do as
the compiler, not having included `Plane.hh` and thus not knowing full
definition of the type, wasn't able to look up the type cast operator in
`Plane`.
Don't abuse `reinterpret_cast`, kids!
Replace the singly-linked z-axis with a doubly-linked list,
and reimplement all z-axis moves as O(1) functions.
Eliminate ncplane_move_{above/below}_unsafe(), as there are no
longer unsafe moves.
ncplane_dup(): properly set target plane attributes/channels
ncplane_move_below_unsafe(): speedup, at most one traversal
ncplane_rgba(): accept null glyph
ncvisual_from_plane(): dup the plane, own it in ncvisual
normal: spin the visual
Unify ffmpeg/oiio/null implementations, where possible. This effectively
required placing all three in the same file, which meant they're all now
C++. Update FFmpeg implemenation to be C++-usable. Implement
ncvisual_rotate_cw() and ncvisual_rotate_ccw() #515. Move most of tetris
over to Visual from Plane #558. Add bgra_to_rgba(), necessary for
creating ncvisual from BGRA memory. Implement ncvisual_from_rgba()
and ncvisual_from_bgra() #557. Add unit tests on ncvisual rotation.
Added:
* class FDPlane (`ncfdplane*`)
* class Subproc (`ncsubproc*`)
* NotCurses: get_inputready_fd (`notcurses_inputready_fd`)
* Plane: qrcode (`ncplane_qrcode`)
* class PlotBase: templated base class for Plot variations
* class PlotU: `uint64_t` instantiation of PlotBase (aliased to previous
`Plot` class for source compatibility), `ncuplot*`
* class PlotD: `double` instantiation of PlotBase, `ncdplot*`
* ncplane_at_* and ncplane_at_cursor_*
We had notcurses_at_yx() expanding into three distinct parts of
the cell structure, and ncplane_at_yx() / ncplane_at_cursor()
writing directly to a cell. It was annoying to remember which
was which. The latter two now have a signature matching
notcurses_at_yx(), while the old functionality has been moved
to ncplane_at_yx_cell() and ncplane_at_cursor_yx(). #476
Nick prefers error handling based on exceptions in all cases, while I
prefer to save exception handling for truly exceptional situations -
function parameter validation and class constructor. However, there's no
need to not support both approaches, to be chosen at the discretion of
the developer.
NCPP follows RAII and all classes throw exceptions from their
constructors in case they cannot initialize properly. Likewise,
functions taking pointers that are required validate them and throw
exceptions whenever the requirement isn't met.
This commit goes one step further in that it enables optional validation
of notcurses function return values and throwing an
exception (`ncpp::call_error`) should the function signal an error. This
is disabled by default but it can be enabled by defining the
`NCPP_EXCEPTIONS_PLEASE` macro (preferably on the command line or
before *each* inclusion of any NCPP headers).
Out of necessity, this breaks the ABI (plus I found a handful of minor
issues in the code), but I think it's worth having this support in
place.
* packaging: s/libtinfo/Terminfo/g
* rust: add stddim_yx()
* rust: check for valid init in unit tests
* rust: serialize up tests

* remove notcurses_resize() from public API #367
* call notcurses_resize() from notcurses_refresh() #367
Fill-type functions used to return 0 for success, and -1
on failure. They now return the number of cells written
on success, similarly to ncvisual_render(). Resolves#427.
Resolves#410. notcurses_at_yx() accepted a cell*, but the
gcluster of this cell was always set to 0. The EGC is instead
a heap-allocated copy, returned as the primary return value.
This is due to the absence of an egcpool to bind against.
Existing callers can be converted thus:
* instead of passing cell 'c', pass &(c)->attrword, &(c)->channels
* either initialize 'c' with CELL_TRIVIAL_INITIALIZER, or set its
gcluster field to 0 following the call
I've updated all calls from tests/demos, updated the docs, and
updated the C++ and Python wrappers.
Add ncplane_bound(3). This allows a new plane N to be created in the
*bound* state relative to another ncplane B. If B moves, N moves the
same amount. If N is moved, the coordinates are taken relative to B
as opposed to the standard plane. If B is destroyed, N is destroyed.
Each plane can have many planes bound to it, but can only be bound to
a single plane. Add ncplane_reparent(3). This allows a plane to be
detached from any plane to which it is bound, and optionally rebound
to a new plane. The standard plane cannot be reparented.
Documentation and unit tests have been added for both.
* tetris: use NES gravities
* tetris: use NES grav multiplier of 50ms
* tetris: implement move down #421
* README: mention notcurses-tetris #421
* tetris: use double box for boundary #421
* tetris: extract background.h
* tetris: break up into chunks suitable for book
* tetris: do the rotations
ncvisual_render() now returns the number of cells emitted
rather than just 0/-1. -1 is still returned on failure.
Rather than 0 for length meaning "all possible length", it
now means 0, and -1 means "all possible length". All demos,
tests, and PoCs have been updated. #422
ncplane_mergedown() is similar to the "Merge down" operation
in the GIMP. It writes to the destination plane the result
of rendering the source and destination frames per se.
Add four new fields to notcurses_options: margin_{tblr}, which requests margins to the top, right, bottom, and left. Render only within those margins, leaving the screen otherwise untouched (well, cleared if using the alternate screen). #293
Introduce limited plane rotation capability. We currently support clockwise and counterclockwise rotation of planes. Square and rectangular geometries are both supported, but there must be an even number of columns. The atomic unit of rotation is a 2x1 "square" (this assumes .5 cell aspect ratio). We can only rotate those glyphs which have rotated equivalents, and not even all of those. We currently handle only:
* null glyph
* space
* upper half block
* lower half block
* full block
I've added unit tests as well. This functionality is used by our Tetris example in the book
ncplane_mouseevent_p() is retired--it was poorly named, and
ncplane_translate_abs() does what it does, plus more, plus
more generally (it works on any y, x, not necessarily an
ncinput). update c++ wrappers #394.
Gradients can't use palette-indexed color, so don't allow it
