# DESCRIPTION
Cells make up the framebuffer associated with each plane, with one cell per
addressable coordinate. You should not usually need to interact directly
with **nccell**s.
Each **nccell** contains exactly one extended grapheme cluster. If the EGC
is encoded in UTF-8 with four or fewer bytes (all Unicode codepoints as of
Unicode 13 can be encoded in no more than four UTF-8 bytes), it is encoded
directly into the **nccell**'s **gcluster** field, and no additional storage
is necessary. Otherwise, the EGC is stored as a nul-terminated UTF-8 string in
some backing egcpool. Egcpools are associated with **ncplane**s, so **nccell**s
must be considered associated with **ncplane**s. Indeed, **ncplane_erase**
destroys the backing storage for all a plane's cells, invalidating them. This
association is formed at the time of **nccell_load**, **nccell_prime**, or
**nccell_duplicate**. All of these functions first call **nccell_release**, as
do **nccell_load_egc32**, **nccell_load_char**, and **nccell_load_ucs32**.
When done using a **nccell** entirely, call **nccell_release**.
**ncplane_destroy** will free up the memory used by the **nccell**, but the
backing egcpool has a maximum size of 16MiB, and failure to release **nccell**s
can eventually block new output. Writing over an **ncplane**'s cells releases
them automatically.
**nccell_extended_gcluster** provides a nul-terminated handle to the EGC. This
ought be considered invalidated by changes to the **nccell** or **egcpool**.
The handle is **not** heap-allocated; do **not** attempt to **free(3)** it.
A heap-allocated copy can be acquired with **nccell_strdup**.
**ncstrwidth_valid** returns the number of columns occupied by a valid UTF-8
string, or -1 if an error is encountered. In either case, the number of valid
bytes and columns, respectively, consumed before error into ***validbytes***
and ***validwidth*** (assuming them to not be **NULL**).
**nccell_fg_palindex** extracts the palette index from a cell's foreground
channel. The channel must be palette-indexed, or the return value is
meaningless. Verify palette indexing with **nccell_fg_palindex_p**. A cell's
foreground channel can be set to palette-indexed mode (and have the index set)
with **nccell_set_fg_palindex**. The index must be less than **NCPALETTESIZE**.
Replace **fg** with **bg** to operate on the background channel.
# RETURN VALUES
**nccell_load** and similar functions return the number of bytes loaded from the
EGC, or -1 on failure. They can fail due to either an invalid UTF-8 input, or the
backing egcpool reaching its maximum size.
**nccell_set_fg_rgb8** and similar functions will return -1 if provided invalid
inputs, and 0 otherwise.
**nccellcmp** returns a negative integer, 0, or a positive integer if ***c1*** is
less than, equal to, or more than ***c2***, respectively.
**nccell_extended_gcluster** returns **NULL** if called on a sprixel (see
**notcurses_visual(3)**.
**nccell_cols** returns the number of columns occupied by ***c***, according
to **wcwidth(3)***. **ncstrwidth** is an equivalent for strings.
**ncstrwidth_valid** returns the same value as **ncstrwidth**.
# NOTES
**cell** was renamed to **nccell** in Notcurses 2.2.0, so as not to bleed such
a common term into the (single, global) C namespace. **cell** will be retained
as an alias until Notcurses 3.0. Likewise, many functions prefixed with **cell**
have been renamed to start with **nccell**.
