NAME

TUI::TextView - Text rendering components for the TUI::Vision framework

SYNOPSIS

use TUI::Objects;
use TUI::Views;
use TUI::TextView;

my $hbar = TScrollBar->new(
  bounds => TRect->new( ax => 1, ay => 10, bx => 39, by => 11 ),
);
my $vbar = TScrollBar->new(
  bounds => TRect->new( ax => 39, ay => 1, bx => 40, by => 10 ),
);

my $terminal = TTerminal->new(
  bounds     => TRect->new( ax => 1, ay => 1, bx => 39, by => 10 ),
  hScrollBar => $hbar,
  vScrollBar => $vbar,
  bufSize    => 4096,
);

# TextDevice/TTerminal can be used through tied-handle methods.
tie *TXT, TTerminal, (
  bounds     => TRect->new( ax => 1, ay => 1, bx => 39, by => 10 ),
  hScrollBar => $hbar,
  vScrollBar => $vbar,
  bufSize    => 4096,
);
print TXT "hello from terminal\n";

DESCRIPTION

TUI::TextView provides the text rendering subsystem for the TUI::Vision framework. It corresponds to the Turbo Vision text device and terminal abstraction layers and is responsible for low-level text output, character cell handling, and terminal interaction.

This module re-exports:

  • TTextDevice - A low-level abstraction for text output devices.

  • TTerminal - Terminal-specific rendering and control sequences.
