Having heard about termbox only through this thread I just had a quick look over the API ... The blit() function seems to be the core for windowing, copying a cell-rectangle into the main termbox buffer. Have a display-list of windows = rectangles, and blit() them into the main buffer, from back to front before presenting the result. Missing features to help with this - Can't blit() rect's out of the main buffer (to save state, before blitting in a modal window, for example) - Can't redirect the put()/change() APIs to work on rect's outside of the main buffer. Still, something to keep track off. Might be interesting to see how it meshes with "linenoise". -- Andreas Kupries Senior Tcl Developer Code to Cloud: Smarter, Safer, Faster™ F: 778.786.1133 [email protected] http://www.activestate.com Learn about Stackato for Private PaaS: http://www.activestate.com/stackato EuroTcl'2014, July 12-13, Munich, GER -- http://www.eurotcl.tcl3d.org/ 21'st Tcl/Tk Conference: Nov 10-14, Portland, OR, USA -- http://www.tcl.tk/community/tcl2014/ Send mail to [email protected], by Sep 8 Registration is open. _______________________________________________ fossil-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.fossil-scm.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fossil-users
