Copilot 6d53276be2 Fixes #4289 - Simplify Drawing/Color: unify named color handling under StandardColor and remove layered resolvers (#4432)
* Initial plan

* Delete AnsiColorNameResolver and MultiStandardColorNameResolver, add legacy 16-color names to StandardColor

Co-authored-by: tig <585482+tig@users.noreply.github.com>

* Refactor and enhance tests for Color, Region, and Lines

Refactored `Color` struct by removing unused methods and simplifying logic. Updated namespaces for better organization. Enhanced test coverage for `Color`, `Region`, and `LineCanvas` with new test cases, parameterized tests, and edge case handling.

Added `StraightLineExtensionsTests`, `StraightLineTests`, and `RegionClassTests` to validate behavior under various scenarios. Improved `MergeRectangles` stability and addressed crash patterns. Removed legacy features and unused code. Enhanced documentation and optimized performance in key methods.

* Improve Color struct and StandardColors functionality

Enhanced the Color struct to fully support the alpha channel for rendering intent while maintaining semantic color identity. Updated TryNameColor to ignore alpha when matching colors, ensuring transparency does not affect color resolution. Expanded XML documentation to clarify alpha channel usage and future alpha blending support.

Improved drawing documentation to explain the lifecycle, deferred rendering, and color support, including 24-bit true color and legacy 16-color compatibility. Added a new section on transparency and its role in rendering.

Revised StandardColors implementation to use modern C# features and ensure consistent ARGB mapping. Added comprehensive tests for StandardColors and Color, covering alpha handling, color parsing, thread safety, and aliased color resolution. Removed outdated tests relying on legacy behavior.

Enhanced code readability, maintainability, and test coverage to ensure correctness and backward compatibility.

* Code cleanup

* Code cleanup

* Fix warnings. Code cleanup

* Add comprehensive unit tests for ColorStrings class

Introduced a new test class `ColorStringsTests` under the
`DrawingTests.ColorTests` namespace to validate the functionality
of the `ColorStrings` class.

Key changes include:
- Added tests for `GetColorName` to verify behavior for standard
  and non-standard colors, ignoring alpha channels, and handling
  known colors.
- Added tests for `GetStandardColorNames` to ensure the method
  returns a non-empty, alphabetically sorted collection containing
  all `StandardColor` enum values.
- Implemented tests for `TryParseStandardColorName` to validate
  case-insensitive parsing, hex color support, handling invalid
  input, and `ReadOnlySpan<char>` compatibility.
- Added tests for `TryParseNamedColor` to verify parsing of named
  and hex colors, handling of aliases, and `ReadOnlySpan<char>`
  support.
- Added round-trip tests to ensure consistency between
  `GetColorName`, `TryParseNamedColor`, `GetStandardColorNames`,
  and `TryParseStandardColorName`.

These tests ensure robust validation of color parsing and naming
functionality.

This folder generates the API docs for Terminal.Gui.

The API documentation is generated via a GitHub Action (.github/workflows/api-docs.yml) using DocFX.

To Generate the Docs Locally

  1. Install DocFX: https://dotnet.github.io/docfx/tutorial/docfx_getting_started.html
  2. Run ./docfx/scripts/build.ps1
  3. Browse to http://localhost:8080 and verify everything looks good.
  4. Hit Ctrl-C to stop the script.

To Update views.md

  1. Switch to the ./docfx folder
  2. Run ./scripts/generate-views-doc.ps1
  3. Commit the changes to docs/views.md

API Documentation Overview

The API documentation for Terminal.Gui is a critical resource for developers, providing detailed information on classes, methods, properties, and events within the library. This documentation is hosted at gui-cs.github.io/Terminal.Gui and includes both auto-generated API references and conceptual guides. For a broader overview of the Terminal.Gui project, including project structure and contribution guidelines, refer to the main Terminal.Gui README.

Scripts for Documentation Generation

The scripts folder contains PowerShell scripts to assist in generating and updating documentation:

  • build.ps1: A script to build the documentation locally. Running this script with DocFX installed will generate the documentation site, which can be viewed at http://localhost:8080.
  • generate-views-doc.ps1: A script specifically for updating the views.md file in the docs directory. This script automates the process of documenting the various view classes in Terminal.Gui, ensuring that the documentation remains current with the codebase.
  • OutputView/: A directory likely used for storing output or intermediate files related to the documentation generation process.

These scripts streamline the process of maintaining up-to-date documentation, ensuring that contributors can easily generate and verify documentation changes locally before committing them.
