-- | Vty supports input and output to terminal devices. -- -- - Input to the terminal is provided to the app as a sequence of 'Event's. -- -- - The output is defined by a 'Picture'. Which is one or more layers of 'Image's. -- -- - The module "Graphics.Vty.Image" provides a number of constructor equations that will build -- correct 'Image' values. See 'string', '<|>', and '<->' for starters. -- -- - The constructors in "Graphics.Vty.Image.Internal" should not be used. -- -- - 'Image's can be styled using 'Attr'. See "Graphics.Vty.Attributes". -- -- See the vty-examples package for a number of examples. -- -- @ -- main = do -- vty <- 'mkVty' def -- let line0 = 'string' (def `withForeColor` 'green') \"first line\" -- line1 = 'string' (def `withBackColor` 'blue') \"second line\" -- img = line0 '<->' line1 -- pic = 'picForImage' img -- 'update' vty pic -- e :: 'Event' <- 'nextEvent' vty -- 'shutdown' vty -- print $ \"Last event was: \" ++ show e -- @ -- -- Good sources of documentation for terminal programming are: -- -- - -- -- - -- -- - -- -- - -- -- - -- -- - module Graphics.Vty ( Vty(..) , mkVty , module Graphics.Vty.Config , module Graphics.Vty.Input , module Graphics.Vty.Output , module Graphics.Vty.Picture , DisplayRegion ) where import Graphics.Vty.Prelude import Graphics.Vty.Config import Graphics.Vty.Input import Graphics.Vty.Output import Graphics.Vty.Picture import Control.Concurrent import Data.IORef import Data.Monoid -- | The main object.
