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()).

A full API reference [is available](https://nick-black.com/notcurses/) in the
|
|
form of manual pages; these ought have been installed along with Notcurses. This document is a
|
|
secondary reference, and should not be considered authoritative. For a more
|
|
unified commentary, consider the [paperback](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B086PNVNC9)
|
|
(also available as a [free PDF](https://nick-black.com/dankwiki/index.php?title=Hacking_The_Planet!_with_Notcurses)).
|
|
|
|
A program wishing to use Notcurses will need to link it, ideally using the
|
|
output of `pkg-config --libs notcurses`. It is advised to compile with the
|
|
output of `pkg-config --cflags notcurses`. If using CMake, a support file is
|
|
provided, and can be accessed as `Notcurses`.
|
|
|
|
If your program makes no use of multimedia, you might want to link with only
|
|
the core Notcurses, and thus incur far fewer dependencies. To use the minimal
|
|
core Notcurses, use `pkg-config --libs notcurses-core` etc. In place of
|
|
`notcurses_init()` and/or `ncdirect_init()` (see below), you must also use
|
|
`notcurses_core_init()` and/or `ncdirect_core_init()`, or linking will fail.
|
|
|
|
Before calling into Notcurses—and usually as one of the first calls of the
|
|
program—be sure to call `setlocale(3)` with an appropriate UTF-8 locale. It is
|
|
usually appropriate to use `setlocale(LC_ALL, "")`, relying on the user to
|
|
properly set the `LANG` environment variable. Notcurses will refuse to start if
|
|
`nl_langinfo(3)` doesn't indicate `ANSI_X3.4-1968` or `UTF-8`. In addition, it
|
|
is wise to mask most signals early in the program, before any threads are
|
|
spawned (this is particularly critical for `SIGWINCH`).
|
|
|
|
Notcurses requires an available `terminfo(5)` definition appropriate for the
|
|
terminal. It is usually appropriate to pass `NULL` in the `termtype` field of a
|
|
`notcurses_options` struct, relying on the user to properly set the `TERM`
|
|
environment variable. This variable is usually set by the terminal itself. It
|
|
might be necessary to manually select a higher-quality definition for your
|
|
terminal, i.e. `xterm-direct` as opposed to `xterm` or `xterm-256color`.
|
|
|
|
Each terminal can be prepared via a call to `notcurses_init()`, which is
|
|
supplied a struct of type `notcurses_options`:
|
|
|
|
```c
|
|
// Get a human-readable string describing the running Notcurses version.
|
|
const char* notcurses_version(void);
|
|
|
|
// Cannot be inline, as we want to get the versions of the actual Notcurses
|
|
// library we loaded, not what we compile against.
|
|
void notcurses_version_components(int* major, int* minor, int* patch, int* tweak);
|
|
|
|
struct nccell; // a coordinate on an ncplane: an EGC plus styling
|
|
struct ncplane; // a drawable Notcurses surface, composed of cells
|
|
struct notcurses; // Notcurses state for a given terminal, composed of ncplanes
|
|
|
|
// These log levels consciously map cleanly to those of libav; Notcurses itself
|
|
// does not use this full granularity. The log level does not affect the opening
|
|
// and closing banners, which can be disabled via the Notcurses_option struct's
|
|
// 'suppress_banner'. Note that if stderr is connected to the same terminal on
|
|
// which we're rendering, any kind of logging will disrupt the output.
|
|
typedef enum {
|
|
NCLOGLEVEL_SILENT, // default. print nothing once fullscreen service begins
|
|
NCLOGLEVEL_PANIC, // print diagnostics immediately related to crashing
|
|

|
|
NCLOGLEVEL_ERROR, // we can't keep doing this, but we can do other things
|
|
NCLOGLEVEL_WARNING, // you probably don't want what's happening to happen
|

|
|

// notcurses_init() will call setlocale() to inspect the current locale. If
|
|
// that locale is "C" or "POSIX", it will call setlocale(LC_ALL, "") to set
|
|
// the locale according to the LANG environment variable. Ideally, this will
|
|
// result in UTF8 being enabled, even if the client app didn't call
|
|
// setlocale() itself. Unless you're certain that you're invoking setlocale()
|
|
// prior to notcurses_init(), you should not set this bit. Even if you are

|
|
|
|
// Initialize a Notcurses context on the connected terminal at 'fp'. 'fp' must

|
|
struct notcurses* notcurses_init(const notcurses_options* opts, FILE* fp);
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
// Destroy a Notcurses context.
|
|
int notcurses_stop(struct notcurses* nc);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
`notcurses_stop` should be called before exiting your program to restore the
|
|
terminal settings and free resources.
|
|
|
|
notcurses does not typically generate diagnostics (aside from the intro banner
|
|
and outro performance summary). When `stderr` is connected to the same terminal
|
|
to which graphics are being printed, printing to stderr will corrupt the output.
|
|
Setting `loglevel` to a value higher than `NCLOGLEVEL_SILENT` will cause
|
|
diagnostics to be printed to `stderr`: you could ensure `stderr` is redirected
|
|
if you make use of this functionality.
|
|
|
|
It's probably wise to export `NCOPTION_NO_ALTERNATE_SCREEN` to the user (e.g. via
|
|
command line option or environment variable). Developers and motivated users
|
|
might appreciate the ability to manipulate `loglevel` and `renderfp`. The
|
|
remaining options are typically of use only to application authors.
|
|
|
|
The Notcurses API draws almost entirely into the virtual buffers of `ncplane`s.
|
|
Only upon a call to `notcurses_render` will the visible terminal display be
|
|
updated to reflect the changes:
|
|
|
|
```c
|
|
// Renders the pile of which 'n' is a part. Rendering this pile again will blow
|
|
// away the render. To actually write out the render, call ncpile_rasterize().
|
|
int ncpile_render(struct ncplane* n);
|
|
|
|
// Make the physical screen match the last rendered frame from the pile of
|
|
// which 'n' is a part. This is a blocking call. Don't call this before the
|
|
// pile has been rendered (doing so will likely result in a blank screen).
|
|
int ncpile_rasterize(struct ncplane* n);
|
|
|
|
// Make the physical screen match the virtual screen. Changes made to the
|
|
// virtual screen (i.e. most other calls) will not be visible until after a
|
|
// successful call to notcurses_render().
|
|
int notcurses_render(struct notcurses* nc);
|
|
|
|
// Perform the rendering and rasterization portion of notcurses_render(), but
|
|
// do not write the resulting buffer out to the terminal. Using this function,
|
|
// the user can control the writeout process, and render a second frame while
|
|
// writing another. The returned buffer must be freed by the caller.
|
|
int notcurses_render_to_buffer(struct notcurses* nc, char** buf, size_t* buflen);
|
|
|
|
// Write the last rendered frame, in its entirety, to 'fp'. If
|
|
// notcurses_render() has not yet been called, nothing will be written.
|
|
int notcurses_render_to_file(struct notcurses* nc, FILE* fp);
|
|
|
|
// Retrieve the contents of the specified cell as last rendered. The EGC is
|
|
// returned, or NULL on error. This EGC must be free()d by the caller. The
|
|
// styles and channels are written to 'attrword' and 'channels', respectively.
|
|
char* notcurses_at_yx(struct notcurses* nc, int yoff, int xoff,
|
|
uint16_t* styles, uint64_t* channels);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
One `ncplane` is guaranteed to exist: the "standard plane". The user cannot
|
|
move, resize, reparent, or destroy the standard plane (it *can* be erased).
|
|
Its dimensions always match notcurses's conception of the visible terminal. A
|
|
handle on the standard plane can be acquired with two top-level functions:
|
|
|
|
```c
|
|
// Get a reference to the standard plane (one matching our current idea of the
|
|
// terminal size) for this terminal. The standard plane always exists, and its
|
|
// origin is always at the uppermost, leftmost cell of the screen.
|
|
struct ncplane* notcurses_stdplane(struct notcurses* nc);
|
|
const struct ncplane* notcurses_stdplane_const(const struct notcurses* nc);
|
|
|
|
// notcurses_stdplane(), plus free bonus dimensions written to non-NULL y/x!
|
|
static inline struct ncplane*
|
|
notcurses_stddim_yx(struct notcurses* nc, int* restrict y, int* restrict x){
|
|
struct ncplane* s = notcurses_stdplane(nc); // can't fail
|
|
ncplane_dim_yx(s, y, x); // accepts NULL
|
|
return s;
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
static inline const struct ncplane*
|
|
notcurses_stddim_yx_const(const struct notcurses* nc, int* restrict y, int* restrict x){
|
|
const struct ncplane* s = notcurses_stdplane_const(nc); // can't fail
|
|
ncplane_dim_yx(s, y, x); // accepts NULL
|
|
return s;
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
A reference to the standard plane *is* persistent across a screen resize, as are
|
|
any indexes into its egcpool, but its framebuffer *is not* necessarily
|
|
persistent across a screen resize. Thankfully, you shouldn't have a reference
|
|
to its framebuffer, and thus only the change to its dimensions can really catch
|
|
you off guard.
|
|
|
|
Utility functions operating on the toplevel `notcurses` object include:
|
|
|
|
```c
|
|
// Return the topmost ncplane of the standard pile.
|
|
struct ncplane* notcurses_top(struct notcurses* n);
|
|
|
|
// Return the bottommost ncplane of the standard pile.
|
|
struct ncplane* notcurses_bottom(struct notcurses* n);
|
|
|
|
// Return our current idea of the terminal dimensions in rows and cols.

|
|

|
|
}
|
|

|
|
// reflecting any changes since the last call to notcurses_render()). This is
|
|
// primarily useful if the screen is externally corrupted, or if an
|
|
// NCKEY_RESIZE event has been read and you're not ready to render.
|
|
int notcurses_refresh(struct notcurses* n, int* restrict y, int* restrict x);
|
|
|
|
// Enable or disable the terminal's cursor, if supported. Immediate effect.
|

// For more information, see the "ncv" capability in terminfo(5).
|
|
unsigned notcurses_supported_styles(const struct notcurses* nc);
|
|
|
|

|
|
int notcurses_check_pixel_support(struct notcurses* nc);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Direct mode
|
|
|
|
"Direct mode" makes a limited subset of Notcurses is available for manipulating
|
|
typical scrolling or file-backed output. Its functions are exported via
|
|
`<notcurses/direct.h>`, and output directly and immediately to the provided
|
|
`FILE*`. `notcurses_render()` is neither supported nor necessary for such an
|
|
instance. Use `ncdirect_init()` to create a direct mode context:
|
|
|
|
```c
|
|
struct ncdirect; // minimal state for a terminal
|
|
|
|
// Initialize a direct-mode Notcurses context on the connected terminal at 'fp'.
|
|
// 'fp' must be a tty. You'll usually want stdout. Direct mode supports a
|
|
// limited subset of Notcurses routines which directly affect 'fp', and neither
|
|
// supports nor requires notcurses_render(). This can be used to add color and
|
|
// styling to text in the standard output paradigm. 'flags' is a bitmask over
|
|
// NCDIRECT_OPTION_*.
|
|
// Returns NULL on error, including any failure initializing terminfo.
|
|
struct ncdirect* ncdirect_init(const char* termtype, FILE* fp, uint64_t flags);
|
|
|
|
// The same as ncdirect_init(), but without any multimedia functionality,
|
|
// allowing for a svelter binary. Link with notcurses-core if this is used.
|
|
struct ncdirect* ncdirect_core_init(const char* termtype, FILE* fp, uint64_t flags);
|
|
|
|
// ncdirect_init() will call setlocale() to inspect the current locale. If
|
|
// that locale is "C" or "POSIX", it will call setlocale(LC_ALL, "") to set
|
|
// the locale according to the LANG environment variable. Ideally, this will
|
|
// result in UTF8 being enabled, even if the client app didn't call
|
|
// setlocale() itself. Unless you're certain that you're invoking setlocale()
|
|
// prior to notcurses_init(), you should not set this bit. Even if you are
|
|
// invoking setlocale(), this behavior shouldn't be an issue unless you're
|
|
// doing something weird (setting a locale not based on LANG).
|
|
#define NCDIRECT_OPTION_INHIBIT_SETLOCALE 0x0001ull
|
|
|
|
// *Don't* place the terminal into cbreak mode (see tcgetattr(3)). By default,
|
|
// echo and line buffering are turned off.
|
|
#define NCDIRECT_OPTION_INHIBIT_CBREAK 0x0002ull
|
|
|
|
// We typically install a signal handler for SIG{INT, SEGV, ABRT, QUIT} that
|
|
// restores the screen, and then calls the old signal handler. Set to inhibit
|
|
// registration of these signal handlers. Chosen to match fullscreen mode.
|
|
#define NCDIRECT_OPTION_NO_QUIT_SIGHANDLERS 0x0008ull
|
|
|
|
// Release 'nc' and any associated resources. 0 on success, non-0 on failure.
|
|
int ncdirect_stop(struct ncdirect* nc);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This context must be destroyed using `ncdirect_stop()`. The following functions
|
|
are available for direct mode:
|
|
|
|
```c
|
|
// Read a (heap-allocated) line of text using the Readline library Initializes
|
|
// Readline the first time it's called. For input to be echoed to the terminal,

Several of the Notcurses capability predicates have `ncdirect` analogues:
|
|
|
|
```c
|
|
bool ncdirect_canopen_images(const struct ncdirect* n);
|
|
bool ncdirect_canutf8(const struct ncdirect* n);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Alignment
|
|
|
|
Most functions that generate output can be aligned relative to an ncplane.
|
|
Alignment currently comes in three forms: `NCALIGN_LEFT`, `NCALIGN_CENTER`, and
|
|
`NCALIGN_RIGHT`.
|
|
|
|
```c
|
|
// Alignment within the ncplane. Left/right-justified, or centered.
|
|
typedef enum {
|
|
NCALIGN_LEFT,
|
|
NCALIGN_CENTER,
|
|
NCALIGN_RIGHT,
|
|
} ncalign_e;
|
|
|
|
#define NCALIGN_TOP NCALIGN_LEFT
|
|
#define NCALIGN_BOTTOM NCALIGN_RIGHT
|
|
|
|
// Return the offset into 'availu' at which 'u' ought be output given the
|
|
// requirements of 'align'. Return -INT_MAX on invalid 'align'. Undefined
|
|
// behavior on negative 'availu' or 'u'.
|
|
static inline int
|
|
notcurses_align(int availu, ncalign_e align, int u){
|
|
if(align == NCALIGN_LEFT || align == NCALIGN_TOP){
|
|
return 0;
|
|
}
|
|
if(align == NCALIGN_CENTER){
|
|
return (availu - u) / 2;
|
|
}
|
|
if(align == NCALIGN_RIGHT || align == NCALIGN_BOTTOM){
|
|
return availu - u;
|
|
}
|
|
return -INT_MAX; // invalid |align|
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
// Return the column at which 'c' cols ought start in order to be aligned
|
|
// according to 'align' within ncplane 'n'. Return -INT_MAX on invalid
|
|
// 'align'. Undefined behavior on negative 'c'.
|
|
static inline int
|
|
ncplane_align(const struct ncplane* n, ncalign_e align, int c){
|
|
return notcurses_align(ncplane_dim_x(n), align, c);
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Input
|
|
|
|
Input can currently be taken only from `stdin`, but on the plus side, stdin
|
|
needn't be a terminal device (unlike the ttyfp `FILE*` passed to `notcurses_init()`).
|
|
Generalized input ought happen soon. There is only one input queue per `struct
|
|
notcurses`.
|
|
|
|
Like NCURSES, Notcurses will watch for escape sequences, check them against the
|
|
terminfo database, and return them as special keys (we hijack the Private Use
|
|
Area for special keys, specifically Supplementary Private Use Area B (u100000
|
|
through u10ffffd). Unlike NCURSES, the fundamental unit of input is the
|
|
UTF8-encoded Unicode codepoint. Note, however, that only one codepoint is
|
|
returned at a time (as opposed to an entire EGC).
|
|
|
|
It is generally possible for a false positive to occur, wherein keypresses
|
|
intended to be distinct are combined into an escape sequence. False negatives
|
|
where an intended escape sequence are read as an ESC key followed by distinct
|
|
keystrokes are also possible. NCURSES provides the `ESCDELAY` variable to
|
|
control timing. Notcurses brooks no delay; all characters of an escape sequence
|
|
must be readable without delay for it to be interpreted as such.
|
|
|
|
```c
|
|
// All input is currently taken from stdin, though this will likely change. We
|
|
// attempt to read a single UTF8-encoded Unicode codepoint, *not* an entire
|
|
// Extended Grapheme Cluster. It is also possible that we will read a special
|
|
// keypress, i.e. anything that doesn't correspond to a Unicode codepoint (e.g.
|
|
// arrow keys, function keys, screen resize events, etc.). These are mapped
|
|
// into Unicode's Supplementary Private Use Area-B, starting at U+100000.
|
|
//
|
|
// notcurses_getc() and notcurses_getc_nblock() are both nonblocking.
|
|
// notcurses_getc_blocking() blocks until a codepoint or special key is read,
|
|
// or until interrupted by a signal.
|
|
//
|
|
// In the case of a valid read, a 32-bit Unicode codepoint is returned. 0 is
|
|
// returned to indicate that no input was available, but only by
|
|
// notcurses_getc(). Otherwise (including on EOF) (char32_t)-1 is returned.
|
|

By default, certain keys are mapped to signals by the terminal's line
|
|
discipline. This can be disabled with `notcurses_linesigs_disable()`, and
|
|
reenabled with `notcurses_linesigs_enable()`.
|
|
|
|
```

// Disable signals originating from the terminal's line discipline, i.e.
|
|
// SIGINT (^C), SIGQUIT (^\), and SIGTSTP (^Z). They are enabled by default.

|
|
int notcurses_linesigs_enable(struct notcurses* n);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Mice
|
|
|
|
notcurses supports mice, though only through brokers such as X or
|
|
[GPM](https://www.nico.schottelius.org/software/gpm/). It does not speak
|
|
directly to hardware. Mouse events must be explicitly enabled with a
|
|
successful call to `notcurses_mouse_enable()`, and can later be disabled.
|
|
|
|
```c
|
|
// Enable the mouse in "button-event tracking" mode with focus detection and
|
|
// UTF8-style extended coordinates. On failure, -1 is returned. On success, 0
|
|
// is returned, and mouse events will be published to notcurses_getc().
|
|
int notcurses_mouse_enable(struct notcurses* n);
|
|
|
|
// Disable mouse events. Any events in the input queue can still be delivered.
|
|
int notcurses_mouse_disable(struct notcurses* n);
|
|
|
|
// Is the event a synthesized mouse event?
|
|
static inline bool
|
|
nckey_mouse_p(char32_t r){
|
|
return r >= NCKEY_BUTTON1 && r <= NCKEY_RELEASE;
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
"Button-event tracking mode" implies the ability to detect mouse button
|
|
presses, and also mouse movement while holding down a mouse button (i.e. to
|
|
effect drag-and-drop). Mouse events are returned via the `NCKEY_MOUSE*` values,
|
|
with coordinate information in the `ncinput` struct.
|
|
|
|
## Planes
|
|
|
|
Fundamental to Notcurses is a z-buffer of rectilinear virtual screens, known
|
|
as `ncplane`s. An `ncplane` can be larger than the physical screen, or smaller,
|
|
or the same size; it can be entirely contained within the physical screen, or
|
|
overlap in part, or lie wholly beyond the boundaries, never to be rendered.
|
|
In addition to its framebuffer--a rectilinear matrix of `nccell`s
|
|
(see [Cells](#cells))--an `ncplane` is defined by:
|
|
|
|
* a base `nccell`, used for any cell on the plane without a glyph,
|
|
* the egcpool backing its `nccell`s,
|
|
* a current cursor location,
|
|
* a current style, foreground channel, and background channel,
|
|
* its geometry,
|
|
* a configured user curry (a `void*`),
|
|
* its position relative to the visible plane,
|
|
* its z-index, and
|
|
* an optional resize callback,
|
|
* a name (used only for debugging).
|
|
|
|
If opaque, a `nccell` on a higher `ncplane` completely obstructs a corresponding
|
|
`cell` from a lower `ncplane` from being seen. An `ncplane` corresponds loosely
|
|
to an [NCURSES Panel](https://invisible-island.net/ncurses/ncurses-intro.html#panels),
|
|
but is the primary drawing surface of notcurses—there is no object
|
|
corresponding to a bare NCURSES `WINDOW`.
|
|
|
|
An `ncplane` can be created aligned relative to an existing `ncplane`
|
|
(including the standard plane) using `NCPLANE_OPTION_HORALIGNED`.
|
|
|
|
When an `ncplane` is no longer needed, free it with
|
|
`ncplane_destroy()`. To quickly reset the `ncplane`, use `ncplane_erase()`.
|
|
|
|
```c
|
|
// Horizontal alignment relative to the parent plane. Use ncalign_e for 'x'.
|
|
#define NCPLANE_OPTION_HORALIGNED 0x0001ull

|
|
// 1 row. If the margins can be effected, the plane will be sized to all
|
|
// remaining space. 'y' and 'x' are overloaded as the top and left margins
|
|
// when this flag is used. 'rows' and 'cols' must be 0 when this flag is
|
|
// used. This flag is exclusive with both of the alignment flags.

All planes, including the standard plane, are created with scrolling disabled.
|
|
Attempting to print past the end of a line will stop at the plane boundary,
|
|
and indicate an error. On a plane 10 columns wide and two rows high, printing
|
|
"0123456789" at the origin should succeed, but printing "01234567890" will by
|
|
default fail at the eleventh character. In either case, the cursor will be left
|
|
at location 0x10; it must be moved before further printing can take place. If
|
|
scrolling is enabled, the first row will be filled with 01234546789, the second
|
|
row will have 0 written to its first column, and the cursor will end up at 1x1.
|
|
Note that it is still an error to manually attempt to move the cursor off-plane,
|
|
or to specify off-plane output. Boxes do not scroll; attempting to draw a 2x11
|
|
box on our 2x10 plane will result in an error and no output. When scrolling is
|
|
enabled, and output takes place while the cursor is past the end of the last
|
|
row, the first row is discarded, all other rows are moved up, the last row is
|
|
cleared, and output begins at the beginning of the last row. This does not take
|
|
place until output is generated (i.e. it is possible to fill a plane when
|
|
scrolling is enabled).
|
|
|
|
```c
|
|
// All planes are created with scrolling disabled. Scrolling can be dynamically
|
|
// controlled with ncplane_set_scrolling(). Returns true if scrolling was
|
|
// previously enabled, or false if it was disabled.
|
|
bool ncplane_set_scrolling(struct ncplane* n, bool scrollp);
|

|
Planes can be freely resized, though they must retain a positive size in
|
|
both dimensions. The powerful `ncplane_resize()` allows resizing an `ncplane`,
|
|
retaining all or a portion of the plane's existing content, and translating
|
|
the plane in one step. The helper function `ncplane_resize_simple()` allows
|
|
resizing an `ncplane` without movement, retaining all possible data. To move
|
|
the plane without resizing it or changing its content, use `ncplane_move_yx()`.
|
|
It is an error to invoke these functions on the standard plane.
|
|
|
|
```c
|
|
// Resize the specified ncplane. The four parameters 'keepy', 'keepx',
|
|
// 'keepleny', and 'keeplenx' define a subset of the ncplane to keep,
|
|
// unchanged. This may be a section of size 0, though none of these four
|
|
// parameters may be negative. 'keepx' and 'keepy' are relative to the ncplane.
|
|
// They must specify a coordinate within the ncplane's totality. 'yoff' and
|
|
// 'xoff' are relative to 'keepy' and 'keepx', and place the upper-left corner
|
|
// of the resized ncplane. Finally, 'ylen' and 'xlen' are the dimensions of the
|
|
// ncplane after resizing. 'ylen' must be greater than or equal to 'keepleny',
|
|
// and 'xlen' must be greater than or equal to 'keeplenx'. It is an error to
|
|
// attempt to resize the standard plane. If either of 'keepleny' or 'keeplenx'
|
|
// is non-zero, both must be non-zero.

If a given cell's glyph is zero, or its foreground channel is fully transparent,

it is considered to have no foreground. A _default_ cell can be chosen for the

`ncplane`, to be consulted in this case. If the base cell's glyph is likewise

zero (or its foreground channel fully transparent), the plane's foreground is

All output is to `ncplane`s. There is no cost in moving the cursor around the

Multiline chunks of human-readable text can be written with
|
|
`ncplane_puttext()` even if the plane does not have scrolling enabled. Such
|
|
text will be broken up across lines using the Unicode line-breaking algorithm
|
|
of [Unicode Annex #14](http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr14/tr14-34.html).
|
|
|
|
```c

|
|
// the specified line. Returns the number of columns written. When breaking a
|
|
// line, the line will be cleared to the end of the plane (the last line will
|
|
// *not* be so cleared). The number of bytes written from the input is written
|
|
// to '*bytes' if it is not NULL. Cleared columns are included in the return
|
|
// value, but *not* included in the number of bytes written. Leaves the cursor
|
|
// at the end of output. A partial write will be accomplished as far as it can;
|
|
// determine whether the write completed by inspecting '*bytes'.

Lines and boxes can be drawn, interpolating their colors between their two

endpoints. For a line of a single color, be sure to specify the same channels

on both sides. Boxes allow fairly detailed specification of how they're drawn.
|
|
|
|
```c

|
// cell output (even, perhaps counter-intuitively, when drawing vertical

My 14 year-old self would never forgive me if we didn't have sweet palette
|
|
fades. The simple fade API runs the operation over a time interval, adapting
|
|
to the actual runtime, invoking a callback at each iteration.
|
|
|
|
```c
|
|
// Called for each fade iteration on 'ncp'. If anything but 0 is returned,
|
|
// the fading operation ceases immediately, and that value is propagated out.
|
|
// The recommended absolute display time target is passed in 'tspec'.
|
|
typedef int (*fadecb)(struct notcurses* nc, struct ncplane* ncp,
|
|
const struct timespec*, void* curry);
|
|
|
|
// Fade the ncplane out over the provided time, calling 'fader' at each
|
|
// iteration. Requires a terminal which supports truecolor, or at least palette
|
|
// modification (if the terminal uses a palette, our ability to fade planes is
|
|
// limited, and affected by the complexity of the rest of the screen).
|
|
int ncplane_fadeout(struct ncplane* n, const struct timespec* ts,
|
|
fadecb fader, void* curry);
|
|
|
|
// Fade the ncplane in over the specified time. Load the ncplane with the
|
|
// target cells without rendering, then call this function. When it's done, the
|
|
// ncplane will have reached the target levels, starting from zeroes.
|
|
int ncplane_fadein(struct ncplane* n, const struct timespec* ts,
|
|
fadecb fader, void* curry);
|
|
|
|
// Rather than the simple ncplane_fade{in/out}(), ncfadectx_setup() can be
|
|
// Pulse the plane in and out until the callback returns non-zero, relying on
|
|
// the callback 'fader' to initiate rendering. 'ts' defines the half-period
|
|
// (i.e. the transition from black to full brightness, or back again). Proper
|
|
// use involves preparing (but not rendering) an ncplane, then calling
|
|
// ncplane_pulse(), which will fade in from black to the specified colors.
|
|
int ncplane_pulse(struct ncplane* n, const struct timespec* ts, fadecb fader, void* curry);
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The more flexible fade API allows for fine control of the process.
|
|
|
|
```c
|
|
// paired with a loop over ncplane_fade{in/out}_iteration() + ncfadectx_free().
|
|
struct ncfadectx* ncfadectx_setup(struct ncplane* n);
|
|
|
|
// Return the number of iterations through which 'nctx' will fade.
|
|
int ncfadectx_iterations(const struct ncfadectx* nctx);
|
|
|
|
// Fade out through 'iter' iterations, where
|
|
// 'iter' < 'ncfadectx_iterations(nctx)'.
|
|
int ncplane_fadeout_iteration(struct ncplane* n, struct ncfadectx* nctx,
|
|
int iter, fadecb fader, void* curry);
|
|
|
|
// Fade in through 'iter' iterations, where
|
|
// 'iter' < 'ncfadectx_iterations(nctx)'.
|
|
int ncplane_fadein_iteration(struct ncplane* n, struct ncfadectx* nctx,
|
|
int iter, fadecb fader, void* curry);
|
|
|
|
// Release the resources associated with 'nctx'.
|
|
void ncfadectx_free(struct ncfadectx* nctx);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Raw streams of RGBA or BGRx data can be blitted directly to an ncplane:
|
|
|
|
```c
|
|
// Blit a flat array 'data' of RGBA 32-bit values to the ncplane 'vopts->n',
|
|
// which mustn't be NULL. the blit begins at 'vopts->y' and 'vopts->x' relative
|
|
// to the specified plane. Each source row ought occupy 'linesize' bytes (this
|
|
// might be greater than 'vopts->lenx' * 4 due to padding or partial blits). A
|
|
// subregion of the input can be specified with the 'begy'x'begx' and
|
|
// 'leny'x'lenx' fields from 'vopts'. Returns the number of pixels blitted, or
|
|
// -1 on error.
|
|
int ncblit_rgba(const void* data, int linesize,
|
|
const struct ncvisual_options* vopts);
|
|
|
|
// Same as ncblit_rgba(), but for BGRx.
|
|
int ncblit_bgrx(const void* data, int linesize,
|
|
const struct ncvisual_options* vopts);
|
|
```

## Cells
|
|
|
|
Unlike the `notcurses` or `ncplane` objects, the definition of `nccell` is
|
|
available to the user. It is somewhat ironic, then, that the user typically
|
|
needn't (and shouldn't) use `nccell`s directly. Use an `nccell` when the EGC
|
|
being output is used several times. In this case, time otherwise spent running
|
|
`cell_load()` (which tokenizes and verifies EGCs) can be saved. It can also be
|
|
useful to use an `ncell` when the same styling is used in a discontinuous
|
|
manner.
|
|
|
|
```c
|
|
// An nccell corresponds to a single character cell on some plane, which can be
|
|
// occupied by a single grapheme cluster (some root spacing glyph, along with
|
|
// possible combining characters, which might span multiple columns). At any
|
|
// cell, we can have a theoretically arbitrarily long UTF-8 string, a foreground
|
|
// color, a background color, and an attribute set. Valid grapheme cluster
|
|
// contents include:
|
|
//
|
|
// * A NUL terminator,
|
|
// * A single control character, followed by a NUL terminator,
|
|
// * At most one spacing character, followed by zero or more nonspacing
|
|
// characters, followed by a NUL terminator.
|
|
//
|
|
// Multi-column characters can only have a single style/color throughout.
|
|
// Existence is suffering, and thus wcwidth() is not reliable. It's just
|
|
// quoting whether or not the EGC contains a "Wide Asian" double-width
|
|
// character. This is set for some things, like most emoji, and not set for
|
|
// other things, like cuneiform. True display width is a *function of the
|
|
// font and terminal*. Among the longest Unicode codepoints is
|
|
//
|
|
// U+FDFD ARABIC LIGATURE BISMILLAH AR-RAHMAN AR-RAHEEM ﷽
|
|
//
|
|
// wcwidth() rather optimistically claims this most exalted glyph to occupy
|
|
// a single column. BiDi text is too complicated for me to even get into here.
|
|
// Be assured there are no easy answers; ours is indeed a disturbing Universe.
|
|
//
|
|
// Each nccell occupies 16 static bytes (128 bits). The surface is thus ~1.6MB
|
|
// for a (pretty large) 500x200 terminal. At 80x43, it's less than 64KB.
|
|
// Dynamic requirements (the egcpool) can add up to 16MB to an ncplane, but
|
|
// such large pools are unlikely in common use.
|
|
//
|
|
// We implement some small alpha compositing. Foreground and background both
|
|
// have two bits of inverted alpha. The actual grapheme written to a cell is
|
|
// the topmost non-zero grapheme. If its alpha is 00, its foreground color is
|
|
// used unchanged. If its alpha is 10, its foreground color is derived entirely
|
|
// from cells underneath it. Otherwise, the result will be a composite.
|
|
// Likewise for the background. If the bottom of a coordinate's zbuffer is
|
|
// reached with a cumulative alpha of zero, the default is used. In this way,
|
|
// a terminal configured with transparent background can be supported through
|
|
// multiple occluding ncplanes. A foreground alpha of 11 requests high-contrast
|
|
// text (relative to the computed background). A background alpha of 11 is
|
|
// currently forbidden.
|
|
//
|
|
// Default color takes precedence over palette or RGB, and cannot be used with
|
|
// transparency. Indexed palette takes precedence over RGB. It cannot
|
|
// meaningfully set transparency, but it can be mixed into a cascading color.
|
|
// RGB is used if neither default terminal colors nor palette indexing are in
|
|
// play, and fully supports all transparency options.
|
|
//
|
|
// This structure is exposed only so that most functions can be inlined. Do not
|
|
// directly modify or access the fields of this structure; use the API.
|
|
typedef struct nccell {
|
|
// These 32 bits, together with the associated plane's associated egcpool,
|
|
// completely define this cell's EGC. Unless the EGC requires more than four
|
|
// bytes to encode as UTF-8, it will be inlined here. If more than four bytes
|
|
// are required, it will be spilled into the egcpool. In either case, there's
|
|
// a NUL-terminated string available without copying, because (1) the egcpool
|
|
// is all NUL-terminated sequences and (2) the fifth byte of this struct (the
|
|
// gcluster_backstop field, see below) is guaranteed to be zero, as are any
|
|
// unused bytes in gcluster.
|
|
//
|
|
// The gcluster + gcluster_backstop thus form a valid C string of between 0
|
|
// and 4 non-NUL bytes. Interpreting them in this fashion requires that
|
|
// gcluster be stored as a little-endian number (strings have no byte order).
|
|
// This gives rise to three simple rules:
|
|
//
|
|
// * when storing to gcluster from a numeric, always use htole()
|
|
// * when loading from gcluster for numeric use, always use htole()
|
|
// * when referencing gcluster as a string, always use a pointer cast
|
|
//
|
|
// Uses of gcluster ought thus always have exactly one htole() or pointer
|
|
// cast associated with them, and we otherwise always work as host-endian.
|
|
//
|
|
// A spilled EGC is indicated by the value 0x01XXXXXX. This cannot alias a
|
|
// true supra-ASCII EGC, because UTF-8 only encodes bytes <= 0x80 when they
|
|
// are single-byte ASCII-derived values. The XXXXXX is interpreted as a 24-bit
|
|
// index into the egcpool. These pools may thus be up to 16MB.
|
|
//
|
|
// The cost of this scheme is that the character 0x01 (SOH) cannot be encoded
|
|
// in a nccell, which is absolutely fine because what 70s horseshit is SOH?
|
|
// It must not be allowed through the API, or havoc will result.

`nccell`s must be initialized with an initialization macro or `cell_init()`
|
|
before any other use. `cell_init()` and `CELL_TRIVIAL_INITIALIZER` both
|
|
simply zero out the `nccell`.
|
|
|
|
```c
|
|
#define CELL_TRIVIAL_INITIALIZER { }
|
|
#define CELL_CHAR_INITIALIZER(c) { .gcluster = (c), .gcluster_backstop = 0, .reserved = 0, .stylemask = 0, .channels = 0, }
|
|
#define CELL_INITIALIZER(c, s, chan) { .gcluster = (c), .gcluster_backstop = 0, .reserved = 0, .stylemask = (s), .channels = (chan), }
|
|
|
|
static inline void
|
|
cell_init(nccell* c){
|
|
memset(c, 0, sizeof(*c));
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
An `nccell` has three fundamental elements:
|
|
|
|
* The EGC displayed at this coordinate, encoded in UTF-8. If the EGC is a
|
|
single ASCII character (value less than 0x80), it is stored inline in
|
|
the `nccell`'s `gcluster` field. Otherwise, `gcluster`'s top 24 bits
|
|
are a 128-biased offset into the associated `ncplane`'s egcpool. This
|
|
implies that `nccell`s are associated with `ncplane`s once prepared.
|
|
* The Curses-style attributes of the text.
|
|
* The 52 bits of foreground and background RGBA (2x8/8/8/2), plus a few flags.
|
|
|
|
The EGC should be loaded using `cell_load()`. Either a single NUL-terminated
|
|
EGC can be provided, or a string composed of multiple EGCs. In the latter case,
|
|
the first EGC from the string is loaded. Remember, backing storage for the EGC
|
|
is provided by the `ncplane` passed to `cell_load()`; if this `ncplane` is
|
|
destroyed (or even erased), the `nccell` cannot safely be used. If you're done
|
|
using the `nccell` before being done with the `ncplane`, call `cell_release()`
|
|
to free up the EGC resources.
|
|
|
|
```c

// Breaks the UTF-8 string in 'gcluster' down, setting up the nccell 'c'.

## Reels
|
|
|
|
ncreels are a complex UI abstraction offered by notcurses, derived from my
|
|
similar work in [outcurses](https://github.com/dankamongmen/ncreels#ncreels).
|
|
|
|
The ncreel is a UI abstraction supported by Notcurses in which
|
|
dynamically-created and -destroyed toplevel entities (referred to as tablets)
|
|
are arranged as if on a cylinder, allowing for infinite scrolling
|
|
(infinite scrolling can be disabled, resulting in a rectangle rather than a
|
|
cylinder). This works naturally with keyboard navigation, mouse scrolling wheels,
|
|
and touchpads (including the capacitive touchscreens of modern cell phones).
|
|
The term "reel" derives from slot machines. An ncreel initially has
|
|
no tablets; at any given time thereafter, it has zero or more tablets, and if
|
|
there is at least one tablet, one tablet is focused (and on-screen). If the
|
|
last tablet is removed, no tablet is focused. A tablet can support navigation
|
|
within the tablet, in which case there is an in-tablet focus for the focused
|
|
tablet, which can also move among elements within the tablet.
|
|
|
|
The ncreel object tracks the size of the screen, the size, number,
|
|
information depth, and order of tablets, and the foci. It also draws the
|
|
optional borders around tablets and the optional border of the reel itself. It
|
|
knows nothing about the actual content of a tablet, save the number of lines it
|
|
occupies at each information depth. The typical control flow is that an
|
|
application receives events (from the UI or other event sources), and calls
|
|
into Notcurses saying e.g. "Tablet 2 now has 40 valid lines of information".
|
|
notcurses might then call back into the application, asking it to draw some
|
|
line(s) from some tablet(s) at some particular coordinate of that tablet's
|
|
plane. Finally, control returns to the application, and the cycle starts anew.
|
|
|
|
Each tablet might be wholly, partially, or not on-screen. Notcurses always
|
|
places as much of the focused tablet as is possible on-screen (if the focused
|
|
tablet has more lines than the actual reel does, it cannot be wholly on-screen.
|
|
In this case, the focused subelements of the tablet are always on-screen). The
|
|
placement of the focused tablet depends on how it was reached (when moving to
|
|
the next tablet, offscreen tablets are brought onscreen at the bottom. When
|
|
moving to the previous tablet, offscreen tablets are brought onscreen at the
|
|
top. When moving to an arbitrary tablet which is neither the next nor previous
|
|
tablet, it will be placed in the center).
|
|
|
|
The controlling application can, at any time,
|
|
|
|
* Insert a new tablet somewhere in the reel (possibly off-screen)
|
|
* Delete a (possibly off-screen) tablet from the reel
|
|
* Change focus to the next or previous tablet, bringing it on-screen if it is off
|
|
* Change focus to some arbitrary other tablet, bringing it on-screen if it is off
|
|
* Expand or collapse the information depth of a tablet
|
|
* Change the content of a tablet, updating it if it is on-screen
|
|
* Remove content from a tablet, possibly resizing it, and possibly changing focus within the tablet
|
|
* Add content to the tablet, possibly resizing it, and possibly creating focus within the tablet
|
|
* Navigate within the focused tablet
|
|
* Create or destroy new planes atop the ncreel
|
|
* Indicate that the screen has been resized or needs be redrawn
|
|
|
|
A special case arises when moving among the tablets of a reel having multiple
|
|
tablets, all of which fit entirely on-screen, and infinite scrolling is in use.
|
|
Normally, upon moving to the next tablet from the bottommost tablet, the
|
|
(offscreen) next tablet is pulled up into the bottom of the reel (the reverse
|
|
is true when moving to the previous tablet from the topmost). When all tablets
|
|
are onscreen with infinite scrolling, there are two possibilities: either the
|
|
focus scrolls (moving from the bottom tablet to the top tablet, for instance),
|
|
or the reel scrolls (preserving order among the tablets, but changing their
|
|
order on-screen). In this latter case, moving to the next tablet from the
|
|
bottommost tablet results in the tablet which is gaining focus being brought to
|
|
the bottom of the screen from the top, and all other tablets moving up on the
|
|
screen. Moving to the previous tablet from the topmost tablet results in the
|
|
bottommost tablet moving to the top of the screen, and all other tablets moving
|
|
down. This behavior matches the typical behavior precisely, and avoids a rude
|
|
UI discontinuity when the tablets grow to fill the entire screen (or shrink to
|
|
not fill it). If it is not desired, however, scrolling of focus can be
|
|
configured instead.

### ncreel examples
|
|
|
|
Let's say we have a screen of 11 lines, and 3 tablets of one line each. Both
|
|
a screen border and tablet borders are in use. The tablets are A, B, and C.
|
|
No gap is in use between tablets. Xs indicate focus. If B currently has focus,
|
|
and the next tablet is selected, the result would be something like:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
------------- -------------
|
|
| --------- | | --------- |
|
|
| | A | | | | A | |
|
|
| --------- | | --------- |
|
|
| --------- | ---- "next tablet" ---> | --------- |
|
|
| |XX B XX| | | | B | |
|
|
| --------- | | --------- |
|
|
| --------- | | --------- |
|
|
| | C | | | |XX C XX| |
|
|
| --------- | | --------- |
|
|
------------- -------------
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If instead the previous tablet had been selected, we would of course get:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
------------- -------------
|
|
| --------- | | --------- |
|
|
| | A | | | |XX A XX| |
|
|
| --------- | | --------- |
|
|
| --------- | ---- "prev tablet" ---> | --------- |
|
|
| |XX B XX| | | | B | |
|
|
| --------- | | --------- |
|
|
| --------- | | --------- |
|
|
| | C | | | | C | |
|
|
| --------- | | --------- |
|
|
------------- -------------
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If A instead has the focus, choosing the "next tablet" is trivial: the tablets
|
|
do not change, and focus shifts to B. If we choose the "previous tablet", there
|
|
are three possibilities:
|
|
|
|
* Finite scrolling: No change. The tablets stay in place. A remains focused.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
------------- -------------
|
|
| --------- | | --------- |
|
|
| |XX A XX| | | |XX A XX| |
|
|
| --------- | | --------- |
|
|
| --------- | ---- "prev tablet" ---> | --------- |
|
|
| | B | | (finite scroll) | | B | |
|
|
| --------- | | --------- |
|
|
| --------- | | --------- |
|
|
| | C | | | | C | |
|
|
| --------- | | --------- |
|
|
------------- -------------
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
* Infinite scrolling with rotation: Focus shifts to C, which moves to the top:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
------------- -------------
|
|
| --------- | | --------- |
|
|
| |XX A XX| | | |XX C XX| |
|
|
| --------- | | --------- |
|
|
| --------- | ---- "prev tablet" ---> | --------- |
|
|
| | B | | (infinite scroll with | | A | |
|
|
| --------- | rotation) | --------- |
|
|
| --------- | | --------- |
|
|
| | C | | | | B | |
|
|
| --------- | | --------- |
|
|
------------- -------------
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
* Infinite scrolling with focus rotation: Focus shifts to C, and moves to the bottom:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
------------- -------------
|
|
| --------- | | --------- |
|
|
| |XX A XX| | | | A | |
|
|
| --------- | | --------- |
|
|
| --------- | ---- "prev tablet" ---> | --------- |
|
|
| | B | | (infinite scroll with | | B | |
|
|
| --------- | focus rotation) | --------- |
|
|
| --------- | | --------- |
|
|
| | C | | | |XX C XX| |
|
|
| --------- | | --------- |
|
|
------------- -------------
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Now imagine us to have the same 3 tablets, but each is now 4 lines. It is
|
|
impossible to have two of these tablets wholly onscreen at once, let alone all
|
|
three. If we started with A focused and at the top, the result after all three
|
|
tablets have grown will be:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
------------- -------------
|
|
| --------- | | --------- | A remains at the top, and
|
|
| |XX A XX| | | |XXXXXXX| | is wholly on-screen. B is
|
|
| --------- | | |XX A XX| | below it, but we can show
|
|
| --------- | ---- "grow tablet" ---> | |XXXXXXX| | only the first two lines.
|
|
| | B | | A (focused) | |XXXXXXX| | C has been pushed
|
|
| --------- | | --------- | off-screen.
|
|
| --------- | | --------- |
|
|
| | C | | | | | |
|
|
| --------- | | | B | |
|
|
------------- -------------
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
When a tablet is enlarged, it grows towards the nearest boundary, unless that
|
|
would result in the focused tablet being moved, in which case the growing
|
|
tablet instead grows in the other direction (if the tablet is in the middle
|
|
of the screen exactly, it grows down). There is one exception to this rule: if
|
|
the tablets are not making full use of the screen, growth is always down (the
|
|
screen is always filled from the top), even if it moves the focused tablet.
|
|
|
|
A 12-line screen has three tablets: A (2 lines), B (1 line), C (1 line), filling
|
|
the screen exactly. B is focused, and grows two lines:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
------------- -------------
|
|
| --------- | | --------- | B grows down, since it is
|
|
| | A | | | | A | | closer to the bottom (3
|
|
| | | | | | | | lines) than the top (4
|
|
| --------- | ---- "grow tablet" ---> | --------- | lines). C is pushed almost
|
|
| --------- | B (focused) | --------- | entirely off-screen. A is
|
|
| |XX B XX| | | |XXXXXXX| | untouched.
|
|
| --------- | | |XX B XX| |
|
|
| --------- | | |XXXXXXX| |
|
|
| | C | | | --------- |
|
|
| --------- | | --------- |
|
|
------------- -------------
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Starting with the same situation, A grows by 2 lines instead:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
------------- -------------
|
|
| --------- | | | | | A grows up. It would have
|
|
| | A | | | | A | | grown down, but that would
|
|
| | | | | | | | have moved B, which has
|
|
| --------- | ---- "grow tablet" ---> | --------- | the focus. B and C remain
|
|
| --------- | A (not focused) | --------- | where they are; A moves
|
|
| |XX B XX| | | |XX B XX| | partially off-screen.
|
|
| --------- | | --------- |
|
|
| --------- | | --------- |
|
|
| | C | | | | C | |
|
|
| --------- | | --------- |
|
|
------------- -------------
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If we started with the same situation, and B grew by 7 lines, it would first
|
|
push C entirely off-screen (B would then have four lines of text), and then
|
|
push A off-screen. B would then have eight lines of text, the maximum on a
|
|
12-line screen with both types of borders.

### Plots
|
|
|
|
**FIXME**
|
|
|
|
### Readers
|
|
|
|
ncreaders provide freeform input in a (possibly multiline) region, supporting
|
|
optional readline keybindings.
|
|
|
|
```c
|
|
typedef struct ncreader_options {
|
|
uint64_t tchannels; // channels used for input
|
|
uint32_t tattrword; // attributes used for input
|
|
bool scroll; // allow more than the physical area's worth of input
|
|
} ncreader_options;
|
|
|
|
// takes ownership of 'n', destroying it on any error (ncreader_destroy()
|
|
// otherwise destroys the ncplane).
|
|
struct ncreader* ncreader_create(struct ncplane* n, const ncreader_options* opts);
|
|
|
|
// empty the ncreader of any user input, and home the cursor.
|
|
int ncreader_clear(struct ncreader* n);
|
|
|
|
struct ncplane* ncreader_plane(struct ncreader* n);
|
|
|
|
// Offer the input to the ncreader. If it's relevant, this function returns
|
|
// true, and the input ought not be processed further. Almost all inputs
|
|
// are relevant to an ncreader, save synthesized ones.
|
|
bool ncreader_offer_input(struct ncreader* n, const ncinput* ni);
|
|
|
|
// return a nul-terminated heap copy of the current (UTF-8) contents.
|
|
char* ncreader_contents(const struct ncreader* n);
|
|
|
|
// destroy the reader and its bound plane(s). if 'contents' is not NULL, the
|
|
// UTF-8 input will be heap-duplicated and written to 'contents'.
|
|
void ncreader_destroy(struct ncreader* n, char** contents);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Progbars
|
|
|
|
Progress bars proceed linearly in any of four directions. The entirety of the
|
|
provided plane will be used -- any border should be provided by the caller on
|
|
another plane. The plane will not be erased; text preloaded into the plane
|
|
will be consumed by the progress indicator. The bar is redrawn for each
|
|
provided progress report (a double between 0 and 1), and can regress with
|
|
lower values. The procession will take place along the longer dimension (at
|
|
the time of each redraw), with the horizontal length scaled by 2 for
|
|
purposes of comparison. I.e. for a plane of 20 rows and 50 columns, the
|
|
progress will be to the right (50 > 40) or left with `OPTION_RETROGRADE`.
|
|
|
|
```c
|
|
// Takes ownership of the ncplane 'n', which will be destroyed by
|
|
// ncprogbar_destroy(). The progress bar is initially at 0%.
|
|
struct ncprogbar* ncprogbar_create(struct ncplane* n, const ncprogbar_options* opts);
|
|
|
|
// Return a reference to the ncprogbar's underlying ncplane.
|
|
#define NCPROGBAR_OPTION_RETROGRADE 0x0001u // proceed left/down
|
|
|
|
typedef struct ncprogbar_options {
|
|
// channels for the maximum and minimum points. linear interpolation will be
|
|
// applied across the domain between these two.
|
|
uint64_t maxchannels;
|
|
uint64_t minchannels;
|
|
uint64_t flags;
|
|
} ncprogbar_options;
|
|
|
|
struct ncplane* ncprogbar_plane(struct ncprogbar* n);
|
|
|
|
// Set the progress bar's completion, a double 0 <= 'p' <= 1.
|
|
int ncprogbar_set_progress(struct ncprogbar* n, double p);
|
|
|
|
// Get the progress bar's completion, a double on [0, 1].
|
|
double ncprogbar_progress(const struct ncprogbar* n);
|
|
|
|
// Destroy the progress bar and its underlying ncplane.
|
|
void ncprogbar_destroy(struct ncprogbar* n);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Tabs
|
|
|
|
Tabbed widgets. The tab list is displayed at the top or at the bottom of the
|
|
plane, and only one tab is visible at a time.
|
|
|
|
```c
|
|
// Display the tab list at the bottom instead of at the top of the plane
|
|
#define NCTABBED_OPTION_BOTTOM 0x0001ull

## Channels
|
|
|
|
A channel encodes 24 bits of RGB color, using 8 bits for each component. It
|
|
additionally provides 2 bits of alpha channel, a bit for selecting terminal
|
|
default colors, and a bit to indicate whether it describes a Wide East Asian
|
|
character. The remaining four bits are reserved. Typically two channels are
|
|
bound together in a 64-bit unsigned integer (`uint64_t`), with eight bits
|
|
currently going unused. There is such a double-channel in every `nccell` and
|
|
`ncplane` object.
|
|
|
|
Usually, the higher-level `ncplane` and `nccell` functionality ought be used. It
|
|
will sometimes be necessary, however, to muck with channels at their lowest
|
|
level. The channel API facilitates such muckery. All channel-related `ncplane`
|
|
and `nccell` functionality is implemented in terms of this API.
|
|
|
|

## Visuals
|
|
|
|
`ncvisual`s are virtual pixel framebuffers. They can be operated upon using
|
|
familiar pixel graphics routines, and then rendered to a (character-
|
|
graphics) plane using a variety of blitting methods:
|
|
|
|
* Space with background color -- the only cell blitter that works in ASCII
|
|
mode. 1:1 pixels map losslessly to 2:1 cells.
|
|
* Unicode upper- and lower-half blocks (▀ and ▄, respectively). 2:1 pixels
|
|
map losslessly to 2:1 cells. The default blitting mode.
|
|
* Unicode half blocks plus quadrants. 2x2 pixels map to 2:1 cells.
|
|
* Unicode sextants. 3x2 pixels map to 2:1 cells.
|
|
* Braille. 4:2 pixels map to 2:1 cells. Useful when only two colors are needed
|
|
in a small area, due to high resolution.
|
|
* Sixel- and Kitty-based bitmaps.
|
|
|
|
It is most typicaly to prepare `ncvisual`s from files on disk (see
|
|
[Multimedia](#multimedia) below); this requires Notcurses to be built against
|
|
a multimedia engine. Even without such an engine, `ncvisual`s can be
|
|
constructed directly from RGBA or BGRA 8bpc memory:
|
|
|
|
```c
|
|
// Prepare an ncvisual, and its underlying plane, based off RGBA content in
|
|
// memory at 'rgba'. 'rgba' is laid out as 'rows' lines, each of which is
|
|
// 'rowstride' bytes in length. Each line has 'cols' 32-bit 8bpc RGBA pixels
|
|
// followed by possible padding (there will be 'rowstride' - 'cols' * 4 bytes
|
|
// of padding). The total size of 'rgba' is thus (rows * rowstride) bytes, of
|
|
// which (rows * cols * 4) bytes are actual non-padding data.
|
|
struct ncvisual* ncvisual_from_rgba(const void* rgba, int rows,
|
|
int rowstride, int cols);
|
|
|
|
// ncvisual_from_rgba(), but for BGRA.
|
|
struct ncvisual* ncvisual_from_bgra(struct notcurses* nc, const void* bgra,
|
|
int rows, int rowstride, int cols);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
`ncvisual`s can also be loaded from the contents of a plane:
|
|
|
|
```c
|
|
// Promote an ncplane 'n' to an ncvisual. The plane may contain only spaces,
|
|
// half blocks, and full blocks. The latter will be checked, and any other
|
|
// glyph will result in a NULL being returned. This function exists so that
|
|
// planes can be subjected to ncvisual transformations. If possible, it's
|
|
// better to create the ncvisual from memory using ncvisual_from_rgba().
|
|
struct ncvisual* ncvisual_from_plane(const struct ncplane* n, ncblitter_e blit,
|
|
int begy, int begx, int leny, int lenx);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Various transformations can be applied to an `ncvisual`, regardless of how
|
|
it was built up:
|
|
|
|
```c
|
|
// Get the size and ratio of ncvisual pixels to output cells along the y
|
|
// ('toy') and x ('tox') axes. A ncvisual of '*y'X'*x' pixels will require
|
|
// ('*y' * '*toy')X('*x' * '*tox') cells for full output. Returns non-zero
|
|
// for an invalid 'blitter' in 'vopts'. Scaling is taken into account. The
|
|
// blitter that will be used is returned in 'blitter'.
|
|
int ncvisual_blitter_geom(const struct notcurses* nc, const struct ncvisual* n,
|
|
const struct ncvisual_options* vopts,
|
|
int* y, int* x, int* toy, int* tox,
|
|
ncblitter_e* blitter);
|
|
|
|
// Rotate the visual 'rads' radians. Only M_PI/2 and -M_PI/2 are
|
|
// supported at the moment, but this will change FIXME.
|
|
int ncvisual_rotate(struct ncvisual* n, double rads);
|
|
|
|
// Resize the visual so that it is 'rows' X 'columns'. This is a lossy
|
|
// transformation, unless the size is unchanged.
|
|
int ncvisual_resize(struct ncvisual* n, int rows, int cols);
|
|
|
|
// Polyfill at the specified location within the ncvisual 'n', using 'rgba'.
|
|
int ncvisual_polyfill_yx(struct ncvisual* n, int y, int x, uint32_t rgba);
|
|
|
|
// Get the specified pixel from the specified ncvisual.
|
|
int ncvisual_at_yx(const struct ncvisual* n, int y, int x, uint32_t* pixel);
|
|
|
|
// Set the specified pixel in the specified ncvisual.
|
|
int ncvisual_set_yx(const struct ncvisual* n, int y, int x, uint32_t pixel);
|
|
|
|
// If a subtitle ought be displayed at this time, return a heap-allocated copy
|
|
// of the UTF8 text.
|
|
char* ncvisual_subtitle(const struct ncvisual* ncv);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
And finally, the `ncvisual` can be blitted to one or more `ncplane`s:
|
|
|
|
```c
|
|
// Render the decoded frame to the specified ncplane. If one is not provided,
|
|
// one will be created, having the exact size necessary to display the visual.
|
|
// A subregion of the visual can be rendered using 'begx', 'begy', 'lenx', and
|
|
// 'leny'. Negative values for 'begy' or 'begx' are an error. It is an error to
|
|
// specify any region beyond the boundaries of the frame. Returns the
|
|
// (possibly newly-created) plane to which we drew.
|
|
struct ncplane* ncvisual_render(struct notcurses* nc, struct ncvisual* ncv,
|
|
const struct ncvisual_options* vopts)
|
|
|
|
// decode the next frame ala ncvisual_decode(), but if we have reached the end,
|
|
// rewind to the first frame of the ncvisual. a subsequent `ncvisual_render()`
|
|
// will render the first frame, as if the ncvisual had been closed and reopened.
|
|
// the return values remain the same as those of ncvisual_decode().
|
|
int ncvisual_decode_loop(struct ncvisual* nc);
|
|
|
|
// we never blit full blocks, but instead spaces (more efficient) with the
|
|
// background set to the desired foreground.

|
### QR codes
|
|
|
|
If built with libqrcodegen support, `ncplane_qrcode()` can be used to draw
|
|
a QR code for arbitrary data.
|
|
|
|
```c
|
|
// Draw a QR code at the current position on the plane. If there is insufficient
|
|
// room to draw the code here, or there is any other error, non-zero will be
|
|
// returned. Otherwise, the QR code "version" (size) is returned. The QR code
|
|
// is (version * 4 + 17) columns wide, and ⌈version * 4 + 17⌉ rows tall (the
|
|
// properly-scaled values are written back to '*ymax' and '*xmax').
|
|
int ncplane_qrcode(struct ncplane* n, int* ymax, int* xmax, const void* data, size_t len);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Multimedia
|
|
|
|
When compiled against a suitable engine (FFmpeg and OpenImageIO are both
|
|
currently supported), Notcurses can populate a visual with pixels decoded
|
|
from an image or video using `ncvisual_from_file()`. Once opened,
|
|
`ncvisual_decode()` should be used to extract each frame (an image will
|
|
have only one frame), until it returns `NCERR_EOF`:
|
|
|
|
```c
|
|
// Open a visual at 'file', extracting a codec and parameters.
|
|
struct ncvisual* ncvisual_from_file(const char* file);
|
|
|
|
|
|
// extract the next frame from an ncvisual. returns NCERR_EOF on end of file,
|
|
// and NCERR_SUCCESS on success, otherwise some other NCERR.
|
|
int ncvisual_decode(struct ncvisual* nc);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Pixels
|
|
|
|
It is sometimes desirable to modify the pixels of an `ncvisual` directly.
|
|
|
|
```c
|
|
static inline int
|
|
ncpixel_set_r(uint32_t* pixel, int r){
|
|
if(r > 255 || r < 0){
|
|
return -1;
|
|
}
|
|
*pixel = (*pixel & 0xffffff00ul) | (r);
|
|
return 0;
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
static inline int
|
|
ncpixel_set_g(uint32_t* pixel, int g){
|
|
if(g > 255 || g < 0){
|
|
return -1;
|
|
}
|
|
*pixel = (*pixel & 0xff00fffful) | (g << 16u);
|
|
return 0;
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
static inline int
|
|
ncpixel_set_b(uint32_t* pixel, int b){
|
|
if(b > 255 || b < 0){
|
|
return -1;
|
|
}
|
|
*pixel = (*pixel & 0xffff00fful) | (b << 8u);
|
|
return 0;
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
// set the RGB values of an RGB pixel
|
|
static inline int
|
|
ncpixel_set_rgb8(uint32_t* pixel, int r, int g, int b){
|
|
if(pixel_set_r(pixel, r) || pixel_set_g(pixel, g) || pixel_set_b(pixel, b)){
|
|
return -1;
|
|
}
|
|
return 0;
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Stats
|
|
|
|
Notcurses supplies a number of stats related to performance and state.
|
|
Cumulative stats can be reset at any time.
|
|
|
|
```c
|
|
typedef struct ncstats {
|
|
// purely increasing stats
|
|
uint64_t renders; // successful ncpile_render() runs
|
|
uint64_t writeouts; // successful ncpile_rasterize() runs
|
|
uint64_t failed_renders; // aborted renders, should be 0
|
|
uint64_t failed_writeouts; // aborted writes
|
|
uint64_t render_bytes; // bytes emitted to ttyfp
|
|
int64_t render_max_bytes; // max bytes emitted for a frame
|
|
int64_t render_min_bytes; // min bytes emitted for a frame
|
|
uint64_t render_ns; // nanoseconds spent rendering
|
|
int64_t render_max_ns; // max ns spent in render+raster for a frame
|
|
int64_t render_min_ns; // min ns spent in render+raster for a frame
|
|
uint64_t raster_ns; // nanoseconds spent rasterizing
|
|
int64_t raster_max_ns; // max ns spent in raster for a frame
|
|
int64_t raster_min_ns; // min ns spent in raster for a frame
|
|
uint64_t writeout_ns; // nanoseconds spent writing frames to terminal
|
|
int64_t writeout_max_ns; // max ns spent writing out a frame
|
|
int64_t writeout_min_ns; // min ns spent writing out a frame
|
|
uint64_t cellelisions; // cells we elided entirely thanks to damage maps
|
|
uint64_t cellemissions; // total number of cells emitted to terminal
|
|
uint64_t fgelisions; // RGB fg elision count
|
|
uint64_t fgemissions; // RGB fg emissions
|
|
uint64_t bgelisions; // RGB bg elision count
|
|
uint64_t bgemissions; // RGB bg emissions
|
|
uint64_t defaultelisions; // default color was emitted
|
|
uint64_t defaultemissions; // default color was elided
|
|
uint64_t refreshes; // refresh requests (non-optimized redraw)
|
|
|
|
// current state -- these can decrease
|
|
uint64_t fbbytes; // total bytes devoted to all active framebuffers
|
|
unsigned planes; // number of planes currently in existence
|
|
} ncstats;
|
|
|
|
// Allocate an ncstats object. Use this rather than allocating your own, since
|
|
// future versions of Notcurses might enlarge this structure.
|
|
ncstats* notcurses_stats_alloc(const struct notcurses* nc);
|
|
|
|
// Acquire an atomic snapshot of the Notcurses object's stats.
|
|
void notcurses_stats(struct notcurses* nc, ncstats* stats);
|
|
|
|
// Reset all cumulative stats (immediate ones, such as fbbytes, are not reset),
|
|
// first copying them into |*stats| (if |stats| is not NULL).
|
|
void notcurses_stats_reset(struct notcurses* nc, ncstats* stats);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## C++
|
|
|
|
Marek Habersack has contributed (and maintains) C++ wrappers installed to
|
|
`include/ncpp/`, `libnotcurses++.so`, and `libnotcurses++.a`.
|
|
|
|
In their default mode, these wrappers throw exceptions only from the type
|
|
constructors (RAII). If `NCPP_EXCEPTIONS_PLEASE` is defined prior to including
|
|
any NCPP headers, they will throw exceptions.
|
