ncneofetch was previously direct mode followed by rendered mode with
margins, a Frankenstein application if one ever existed. Rewrite it
using CLI mode, extending the latter as necessary to accomplish this
task. We now have one fewer dependency on direct mode, we have better
proven out CLI mode, and we get a ~30% reduction in ncneofetch runtime.
Good stuff! Closes#2030.
Add ncplane_scrollup() and ncplane_scrollup_child()
Cleans up ncport.h
Eliminates some inconsequential memory leaks in ncneofetch
Add SPRIXEL_UNSEEN to avoid invalid moves on
not-yet-displayed sprixels
for NCOPTION_PRESERVE_CURSOR, we want to know the location
of the cursor at startup. go ahead and always send a DSRCPR
in terminal interrogation. if we get a reply to it, hey, we
just verified that the terminal knows DSRCPR.
if we find a u7 value in terminfo that's different from the
standard DSRCPR, we ought send that in addition. #1816
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.
ncplane_as_rgba: genericize across blitters
ncplane_as_rgba() previously was implemented explicitly
in terms of NCBLIT_2x1. it now uses the `egcs` field of the
`blitset`. this supports NCBLIT_2x2 and NCBLIT_3x2 in
ncplane_rgba(). Closes#1490.
* Paint sprixels in order, bottom-to-top
We don't want to have to track sprixel order whenever someone
moves an ncplane, so just keep a list growing backwards as we
pass top-to-bottom in notcurses_render_internal(). Each time
we hit a sprixel plane, splice it out of the sprixel list, and
add it to the front of our temporary list. When we hit the
bottom, stick this temporary list on the end of our existing
list (any such planes are to be deleted, which comes before
drawing). Closes#1575.
* reorder collected sprixellist; solves kitty but breaks sixel =/ #1575
* remove debugging cruft
* [rust] fix up mergedown mutability
* [bitmap] on move, clear old OPAQUE cells #1527
* update ncvisual_blitter_geom() documentation #1547
* replace some ncvisual_blitter_geom with NCVISUAL_OPTION_VERALIGNED
* [normal] replace ncvisual_blitter_geom with NCVISUAL_OPTION_VERALIGNED
* [intro] use ncvisual_blitter_geom() correctly #1547
* ncvisual_blitter_geom: only set *blitter on success
deprecate ncvisual_geom() in favor of new ncvisual_blitter_geom(), which allows caller to get the blitter used. replace the checks and calculations in ncvisual_render() with a call to ncvisual_blitter_geom(), unifying the two paths (and eliminating several bugs in the unloved ncvisual_geom()).
Deprecate ncplane_align(), after rewriting it as a passthrough
to new function ncplane_halign(). Add ncplane_valign(). Update
all callers. Closes#1468.
Move hardcursorpos into the renderstate carried
across rasterizations. This eliminates undesirable vertical
movement following pixel image emission #1400.
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.
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.
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!
Extract `libnotcurses-core` from `libnotcurses`. The former contains everything except multimedia code. The latter contains multimedia stuff (a wrapper around FFmpeg or OIIO). If built with `-DUSE_MULTIMEDIA=none`, there will not be any `libnotcurses.so` generated. `libnotcurses.so` uses library constructors/destructors to insert its implementation into the `ncvisual` stack at runtime. Users linking `-lnotcurses` will get the full implementation; users linking `-lnotcurses-core` only will get the stack less multimedia code.
The upshot of this is that someone can compile/install only `libnotcurses-core`, and a program linked against it will work just fine. This eliminates the need to install the full (large) dependency stack of the multimedia code unless necessary. This will hopefully be useful for e.g. installers etc. Closes#339.
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.
