Replace notcurses_render_to_file() and
notcurses_render_to_buffer() with variants that work
on arbitrary piles (the former only worked on the standard
pile). Rewrite the former as trivial wrappers around the
latter, and deprecate the former. Closes#1770.
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.
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
notcurses_enable_cursor() now accepts placement arguments.
both it and notcurses_disable_cursor() now return int rather
than void. add notcurses_cursor_move_yx().
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
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.
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*`
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
* constify notcurses_term_dim_yx()
* rust: add dim wrappers
* remove notcurses_resize() from public API #367
* call notcurses_resize() from notcurses_refresh() #367
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.
* CMake: add USE_PANDOC, USE_DOXYGEN options #101
* README: mention rust
* start integrating rust into build #101
* CMake: add USE_NETWORK option for cargo
* Debian: build-dep on doxygen
* rust: colloquy checks in Cargo.lock
* extract NCKEY defines into their own include
* colloquy: use clap to parse CLI args
* CMake: unify option namespace
* Python: update include path
* Rust: fix up --frozen workings for -DUSE_NETWORK=off
* CMake: abstract out colloquy a little
* Sync direct.hh to the New Way
Added:
* Plane: gradient (`ncplane_gradient`)
* Plane: gradient_sized (`ncplane_gradient_sized`)
* NotCurses: drop_planes (`ncplane_drop_planes`)
* NcReel: constructor which takes `Plane&`
* Visual: constructors which take `Plane const*`, `Plane&` and `Plane const&`)
* ncpp_build: a nonsensical "demo" which exists purely to test whether
the C++ builds and does absolutely nothing interesting.
Broke:
* All exceptions throw temporary objects instead of allocated
instances. Less typing in `catch` :P (and more conventional)
