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()).
