<h2 id="constants">Constants</h2>
<p>clojure-lanterna uses Clojure keywords where you need to supply constants. It
will handle the filthy details of converting them to the appropriate Java enum
elements when needed so you don't need to worry about it.</p>
<h3 id="colors">Colors</h3>
<p>Lanterna (and thus clojure-lanterna) supports the 8 common terminal colors, as
well as a "default" color:</p>
<ul>
<li><code>:black</code></li>
<li><code>:white</code></li>
<li><code>:red</code></li>
<li><code>:green</code></li>
<li><code>:blue</code></li>
<li><code>:cyan</code></li>
<li><code>:magenta</code></li>
<li><code>:yellow</code></li>
<li><code>:default</code></li>
</ul>
<h3 id="styles">Styles</h3>
<p>Lanterna (and thus clojure-lanterna) supports 4 common styles:</p>
<ul>
<li><code>:bold</code></li>
<li><code>:reverse</code></li>
<li><code>:underline</code></li>
<li><code>:blinking</code></li>
</ul>
<h3 id="key-codes">Key Codes</h3>
<p>When you get a key of user input from clojure-lanterna it will be one of two
things: a Character like <code>\a</code> or <code>\$</code> representing what the user typed, or
a keyword for special keys like Delete or Page Up.</p>
<p>Note that the Tab key is returned as <code>:tab</code> and not <code>\tab</code>.</p>
<p>Here are the keywords for special keys that may be returned:</p>
<ul>
<li><code>:escape</code></li>
<li><code>:backspace</code></li>
<li><code>:left</code></li>
<li><code>:right</code></li>
<li><code>:up</code></li>
<li><code>:down</code></li>
<li><code>:insert</code></li>
<li><code>:delete</code></li>
<li><code>:home</code></li>
<li><code>:end</code></li>
<li><code>:page-up</code></li>
<li><code>:page-down</code></li>
<li><code>:tab</code></li>
<li><code>:reverse-tab</code></li>
<li><code>:enter</code></li>
</ul>
<p>There are also two other special keywords:</p>
<ul>
<li><code>:unknown</code> - The user typed something Lanterna couldn't figure out.</li>
<li><code>:cursor-location</code> - I'm not sure about this. I think it's an internal
Lanterna thing.</li>
</ul>
<h3 id="charsets">Charsets</h3>
<p>Currently there's only one charset clojure-lanterna constant defines. Open an
issue as a feature request if you want others -- I'll be happy to add the
constants.</p>
<ul>
<li><code>:utf-8</code></li>
</ul>
<h3 id="consoles">Consoles</h3>
<p>When creating a Terminal or Screen, you can optionally specify a specific kind
of Terminal or Screen to create.</p>
<p>If it's not supported (e.g.: trying to create a Swing Terminal on a system
without X) then who knows what will happen. Make sure you know what you're
doing if you use anything other than <code>:auto</code>.</p>
<ul>
<li><code>:auto</code> - Let Lanterna try to guess the appropriate kind of console to use.
If there's a windowing environment present the Swing console will be used,
otherwise an appropriate text console will be used.</li>
<li><code>:swing</code> - Force a Swing-based console.</li>
<li><code>:text</code> - Force a text-based (i.e.: non-Swing) console. Lanterna will try to guess the
appropriate kind of console (UNIX or Cygwin) by the OS.</li>
<li><code>:unix</code> - Force a UNIX text-based console.</li>
<li><code>:cygwin</code> - Force a Cygwin text-based console.</li>
</ul>
<h3 id="palettes">Palettes</h3>
<p>When creating a Swing Terminal or Screen, you can choose the color palette to
use. Text-based Terminals and Screens will use the user's color scheme, of
course.</p>
<p>The following palettes are supported:</p>
<ul>
<li><code>:gnome</code> - Gnome Terminal's colors.</li>
<li><code>:windows-xp</code> - The colors of the Windows XP command prompt.</li>
<li><code>:xterm</code> - Xterm's colors.</li>
<li><code>:putty</code> - Putty's colors.</li>
<li><code>:mac-os-x</code> - The colors of Mac OS X's Terminal.app.</li>
</ul>
<h3 id="font-names">Font Names</h3>
<p>When giving a font name, it should be a string naming a font family on your
system. For example: <code>"Consolas"</code>, <code>"Courier New"</code>, or <code>"Monaco"</code>.</p>
<p>To see a the fonts available on your system you can call
<a href="#lanternaterminalget-available-fonts"><code>get-available-fonts</code></a>.</p>
<h2 id="terminals">Terminals</h2>
<p>The terminal layer is the lowest-level layer. Read the <a href="../terminals/">terminal
documentation</a> for an overview.</p>
<h3 id="lanternaterminalget-terminal">lanterna.terminal/get-terminal</h3>
<div class="codehilite"><pre><span class="p">(</span><span class="nf">get-terminal</span><span class="p">)</span>
<span class="p">(</span><span class="nf">get-terminal</span> <span class="nv">kind</span><span class="p">)</span>
<span class="p">(</span><span class="nf">get-terminal</span> <span class="nv">kind</span> <span class="nv">options</span><span class="p">)</span>
</pre></div>
<p>Get a terminal object.</p>
<p><code>kind</code> is a <a href="#consoles">console constant</a> describing the type of terminal you
want. If unspecified it defaults to <code>:auto</code>.</p>
<p>The <code>options</code> map can contain any of the following mappings:</p>
<ul>
<li><code>:cols</code> - Width of the desired terminal in characters (default <code>80</code>).</li>
<li><code>:rows</code> - Height of the desired terminal in characters (default <code>24</code>).</li>
<li><code>:charset</code> - Charset of the desired terminal. This should be a <a href="#charsets">charset
constant</a> (default <code>:utf-8</code>).</li>
<li><code>:resize-listener</code> - A function to call when the terminal is resized. This
function should take two parameters: the new number of columns, and the new
number of rows.</li>
<li><code>:font</code> - A single <a href="#font-names">font name</a> or sequence of <a href="#font-names">font
names</a>. If a sequence is given, the first font that exists on
the system will be used (much like a CSS <code>font-family</code> declaration).
Will fall back to a monospaced default font if none of the given ones exist.</li>
</ul>
<p>The <code>:rows</code>, <code>:cols</code>, <code>:font</code>, <code>:font-size</code>, <code>:palette</code> and <code>:charset</code> options
are really just a suggestion!</p>
<p>The text-based terminals will ignore rows, columns, fonts and palettes. They
will be determined by the user's terminal window.</p>
<p>The Swing terminal will start out at the given size but can be resized later by
the user, and will ignore the charset entirely.</p>
<p>God only know what Cygwin will do.</p>
<p>Your application needs to be flexible and handle sizes on the fly.</p>

<p>Don't try to do anything to the Terminal after you stop it.</p>
<p>I'm not sure if you can "restart" a terminal once it's been stopped. TODO: Find

<p>Start the given terminal, perform the body of expressions, and stop the terminal
afterward.</p>
<p>This is a macro.</p>
<p>The stopping will be done in a try/finally block, so you can be confident it

<p>Get the next keypress from the user, or <code>nil</code> if none are buffered.</p>
<p>If there is one or more keystroke buffered, that key will be returned (and
popped off the buffer of input). The returned key will be a <a href="#key-codes">key code

<p>If there are no keystrokes buffered the function will sleep, checking every 50
milliseconds for input. Once there is a character buffered it will be popped
off and returned as normal.</p>
<p>If you want to return immediately instead of blocking when no input is buffered,
use <a href="#lanternaterminalget-key"><code>get-key</code></a> instead.</p>
<p>The <code>options</code> map can contain any of the following mappings:</p>
<ul>
<li><code>:interval</code> - The interval between checks, in milliseconds (default <code>50</code>).</li>
<li><code>:timeout</code> - The maximum amount of time blocking will occur before returning

a different place and redraw. If you want it to move, you need to call this
function again.</p>
<h3 id="lanternascreenput-string">lanterna.screen/put-string</h3>
<div class="codehilite"><pre><span class="p">(</span><span class="nf">put-string</span> <span class="nv">screen</span> <span class="nv">x</span> <span class="nv">y</span> <span class="nv">s</span><span class="p">)</span>
<span class="p">(</span><span class="nf">put-string</span> <span class="nv">screen</span> <span class="nv">x</span> <span class="nv">y</span> <span class="nv">s</span> <span class="nv">options</span><span class="p">)</span>
</pre></div>
<p>Put a string on the screen buffer, ready to be drawn at the next
<a href="#lanternascreenredraw"><code>redraw</code></a>.</p>
<p><code>x</code> and <code>y</code> are the column and row to start the string.</p>
<p><code>s</code> is the actual string to draw.</p>
<p>The <code>options</code> map can contain any of the following mappings:</p>
<ul>
<li><code>:fg</code> - Foreground color of the text. Must be a <a href="#colors">color constant</a>
(default <code>:default</code>).</li>
<li><code>:bg</code> - Background color of the text. Must be a <a href="#colors">color constant</a>
(default <code>:default</code>).</li>
<li><code>:styles</code> - Styles to apply to the text. Must be a set containing zero or
more <a href="#styles">style constants</a> (default <code>#{}</code>). <strong>CURRENTLY BROKEN, SORRY</strong></li>
</ul>
<h3 id="lanternascreenclear">lanterna.screen/clear</h3>
<div class="codehilite"><pre><span class="p">(</span><span class="nf">clear</span> <span class="nv">screen</span><span class="p">)</span>
</pre></div>
<p>Clear the given screen.</p>
<p>Note that this is buffered just like every other screen-related action. You
need to <a href="#lanternascreenredraw"><code>redraw</code></a> to actually see it happen.</p>
<h3 id="lanternascreenget-key">lanterna.screen/get-key</h3>
<div class="codehilite"><pre><span class="p">(</span><span class="nf">get-key</span> <span class="nv">screen</span><span class="p">)</span>
</pre></div>
<p>Get the next keypress from the user, or <code>nil</code> if none are buffered.</p>
<p>If there is one or more keystroke buffered, that key will be returned (and
popped off the buffer of input). The returned key will be a <a href="#key-codes">key code
constant</a>.</p>
<p>If there are no keystrokes buffered, <code>nil</code> will be returned immediately.</p>
<p>If you want to wait for user input, use
<a href="#lanternascreenget-key-blocking"><code>get-key-blocking</code></a> instead.</p>
<h3 id="lanternascreenget-key-blocking">lanterna.screen/get-key-blocking</h3>
<div class="codehilite"><pre><span class="p">(</span><span class="nf">get-key-blocking</span> <span class="nv">screen</span><span class="p">)</span>
</pre></div>
<p>Get the next keypress from the user.</p>
<p>If there is one or more keystroke buffered, that key will be returned (and
popped off the buffer of input). The returned key will be a <a href="#key-codes">key code
constant</a>.</p>
<p>If there are no keystrokes buffered the function will sleep, checking every 50
milliseconds for input. Once there is a character buffered it will be popped
off and returned as normal.</p>
<p>If you want to return immediately instead of blocking when no input is buffered,
use <a href="#lanternascreenget-key"><code>get-key</code></a> instead.</p>
<p>The <code>options</code> map can contain any of the following mappings:</p>
<ul>
<li><code>:interval</code> - The interval between checks, in milliseconds (default <code>50</code>).</li>
<li><code>:timeout</code> - The maximum amount of time blocking will occur before returning
<code>nil</code> (default infinity).</li>
</ul>
<h3 id="lanternascreenadd-resize-listener">lanterna.screen/add-resize-listener</h3>
<div class="codehilite"><pre><span class="p">(</span><span class="nf">add-resize-listener</span> <span class="nv">screen</span> <span class="nv">listener-fn</span><span class="p">)</span>
</pre></div>
<p>Create a listener that will call the supplied function when the screen is
resized.</p>
<p>The function must take two arguments: the new number of columns and the new
number of rows.</p>
<p>You probably don't need this because you can specify a resize listener function
when you call <a href="#lanternascreenget-screen"><code>get-screen</code></a>. It's here if you <em>do</em>
need it though.</p>
<h3 id="lanternascreenremove-resize-listener">lanterna.screen/remove-resize-listener</h3>
<div class="codehilite"><pre><span class="p">(</span><span class="nf">remove-resize-listener</span> <span class="nv">screen</span> <span class="nv">listener</span><span class="p">)</span>
</pre></div>
<p>Remove the given resize listener from the given screen.</p>
