Constructors

Picture

Fields

• picLayers :: [Image]

  The picture's image layers (top-most first).

• picBackground :: Background

  The picture's background to be displayed in locations with no Image data.

Instances

Methods

(==) :: Picture -> Picture -> Bool

(/=) :: Picture -> Picture -> Bool

Show Picture

Methods

showsPrec :: Int -> Picture -> ShowS

show :: Picture -> String

showList :: [Picture] -> ShowS

NFData Picture

Methods

rnf :: Picture -> ()

data Cursor

A picture can be configured to hide the cursor or to show the cursor at the specified character position.

There is not a 1:1 map from character positions to a row and column on the screen due to characters that take more than 1 column.

Constructors

NoCursor

Hide the cursor

Cursor !Int !Int

Show the cursor at the given logical column accounting for character width in the presence of multi-column characters.

AbsoluteCursor !Int !Int

Show the cursor at the given absolute terminal column and row

Instances

Eq Cursor

Methods

(==) :: Cursor -> Cursor -> Bool

(/=) :: Cursor -> Cursor -> Bool

NFData Cursor

Methods

rnf :: Cursor -> ()

data Background

A Picture has a background pattern. The background is either:

• ClearBackground, which shows the layer below or is blank if the bottom layer
• A character and a display attribute

If the display attribute used previously should be used for a background fill then use currentAttr for the background attribute.

Constructors

Background

Fields

• backgroundChar :: Char
• backgroundAttr :: Attr

ClearBackground

A ClearBackground is:

• the space character if there are remaining non-skip ops
• End of line if there are no remaining non-skip ops.

Instances

(/=) :: Background -> Background -> Bool

NFData Background

Methods

rnf :: Background -> ()

emptyPicture :: Picture

A picture with no cursor, background or image layers.

addToTop :: Picture -> Image -> Picture

Add an Image as the top-most layer of a Picture.

addToBottom :: Picture -> Image -> Picture

Add an Image as the bottom-most layer of a Picture.

picForImage :: Image -> Picture

Create a picture from the given image. The picture will not have a displayed cursor and no background pattern (ClearBackground) will be used.

picForLayers :: [Image] -> Picture

Create a picture with the given layers, top-most first.

The picture will not have a displayed cursor and no background pattern (ClearBackgroun) will be used.

picImage :: Picture -> Image

Return the top-most Image layer for a picture. This is unsafe for Pictures without at least one layer.

This is provided for compatibility with applications that do not use more than a single layer.
