.bkgdset(ch) ⇒ Object

Manipulate the background of the named window with character Integer ch

The background becomes a property of the character and moves with the character through any scrolling and insert/delete line/character operations.

}

.cbreak ⇒ Object

Put the terminal into cbreak mode.

Normally, the tty driver buffers typed characters until a newline or carriage return is typed. The Curses.cbreak routine disables line buffering and erase/kill character-processing (interrupt and flow control characters are unaffected), making characters typed by the user immediately available to the program.

The Curses.nocbreak routine returns the terminal to normal (cooked) mode.

Initially the terminal may or may not be in cbreak mode, as the mode is inherited; therefore, a program should call Curses.cbreak or Curses.nocbreak explicitly. Most interactive programs using curses set the cbreak mode. Note that Curses.cbreak overrides Curses.raw.

}

.close_screen ⇒ Object

A program should always call Curses.close_screen before exiting or escaping from curses mode temporarily. This routine restores tty modes, moves the cursor to the lower left-hand corner of the screen and resets the terminal into the proper non-visual mode.

Calling Curses.refresh or Curses.doupdate after a temporary escape causes the program to resume visual mode.

.init_color(color, r, g, b) ⇒ Object

Changes the definition of a color. It takes four arguments:

  • the number of the color to be changed, color

  • the amount of red, r

  • the amount of green, g

  • the amount of blue, b

The value of the first argument must be between 0 and COLORS. (See the section Colors for the default color index.) Each of the last three arguments must be a value between 0 and 1000. When Curses.init_color is used, all occurrences of that color on the screen immediately change to the new definition.

.init_pair(pair, f, b) ⇒ Object

Changes the definition of a color-pair.

It takes three arguments: the number of the color-pair to be changed pair, the foreground color number f, and the background color number b.

If the color-pair was previously initialized, the screen is refreshed and all occurrences of that color-pair are changed to the new definition.

.mouseinterval(interval) ⇒ Object

The Curses.mouseinterval function sets the maximum time (in thousands of a second) that can elapse between press and release events for them to be recognized as a click.

Use Curses.mouseinterval(0) to disable click resolution. This function returns the previous interval value.

Use Curses.mouseinterval(-1) to obtain the interval without altering it.

The default is one sixth of a second.

.nl ⇒ Object

Enable the underlying display device to translate the return key into newline on input, and whether it translates newline into return and line-feed on output (in either case, the call Curses.addch(‘n’) does the equivalent of return and line feed on the virtual screen).

Initially, these translations do occur. If you disable them using Curses.nonl, curses will be able to make better use of the line-feed capability, resulting in faster cursor motion. Also, curses will then be able to detect the return key.

.raw ⇒ Object

Put the terminal into raw mode.

Raw mode is similar to Curses.cbreak mode, in that characters typed are immediately passed through to the user program.

The differences are that in raw mode, the interrupt, quit, suspend, and flow control characters are all passed through uninterpreted, instead of generating a signal. The behavior of the BREAK key depends on other bits in the tty driver that are not set by curses.

.setscrreg(top, bottom) ⇒ Object

call-seq:

setscrreg(top, bottom)

Set a software scrolling region in a window. top and bottom are lines numbers of the margin.

If this option and Curses.scrollok are enabled, an attempt to move off the bottom margin line causes all lines in the scrolling region to scroll one line in the direction of the first line. Only the text of the window is scrolled.

This must be called, in order to use color attributes. It is good practice to call it just after Curses.init_screen

.stdscr ⇒ Object

The Standard Screen.

Upon initializing curses, a default window called stdscr, which is the size of the terminal screen, is created.

.timeout=(delay) ⇒ Object

Sets block and non-blocking reads for the window.

  • If delay is negative, blocking read is used (i.e., waits indefinitely for input).

  • If delay is zero, then non-blocking read is used (i.e., read returns ERR if no input is waiting).

  • If delay is positive, then read blocks for delay milliseconds, and returns ERR if there is still no input.

.ungetch(ch) ⇒ Object

Places ch back onto the input queue to be returned by the next call to Curses.getch.

There is just one input queue for all windows.

.ungetmouse(mevent) ⇒ Object

It pushes a KEY_MOUSE event onto the input queue, and associates with that event the given state data and screen-relative character-cell coordinates.

The Curses.ungetmouse function behaves analogously to Curses.ungetch.
