uid: Terminal.Gui.Drawing
|
|
summary: The `Drawing` namespace provides comprehensive text rendering, color management, and visual styling for Terminal.Gui applications.
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
@Terminal.Gui.Drawing contains the core drawing primitives and visual styling system for Terminal.Gui. This namespace handles everything from basic color and attribute management to complex line drawing and text formatting capabilities.
|
|
|
|
The drawing system supports both simple and advanced scenarios, including Unicode text rendering, automatic line joining for complex shapes, thickness-based adornments, and comprehensive color schemes with semantic visual roles.
|
|
|
|
## Key Components
|
|
|
|
- **Attribute**: Defines visual styling (foreground, background, text style)
|
|
- **Color**: Terminal color support including TrueColor and named colors
|
|
- **Scheme**: Maps semantic visual roles to concrete attributes
|
|
- **LineCanvas**: Advanced line drawing with automatic glyph joining
|
|
- **Thickness**: Framework for defining border and adornment widths
|
|
- **Glyphs**: Standard set of drawing characters for UI elements
|
|
|
|
## Example Usage
|
|
|
|
```csharp
|
|
// Get the attribute for a Focused view
|
|
Attribute? focusedAttribute = GetAttributeForRole(VisualRole.Focused);
|
|
|
|
// Move to 5,5 and output a string with the focused attribute
|
|
Move (5,5);
|
|
AddStr("Hello");
|
|
```
