Tilde Terminal Toolkit
libt3window
The libt3window library provides functions for manipulating the terminal and for creating (possibly overlapping) windows on a terminal. libt3window can be used instead of (n)curses for drawing on the terminal. libt3window provides the following features:
- (Overlapping) windows for drawing. Overlapping windows hide windows deeper in the window stack.
- Clipping of windows to the size of the parent window.
- UTF-8 used internally, which is converted to the terminal encoding before output. libt3window depends on libunistring for UTF-8 processing and libtranscript for character set conversion.
- Provides easy access to the most needed terminal functionality.
- Small code size.
