It provides a full set of output drawing\nfunctions, and handles keyboard and mouse input events.\n\n## Overview\n\nUsing this library, applications can:\n\n* Divide the terminal into a hierarchy of nested, possibly overlapping\n  rectangular windows\n* Render output content and react to input events independently in any window\n  region\n* Use fully Unicode-aware string content, including non-BMP, fullwidth and\n  combining characters\n* Draw line-art using Unicode box-drawing characters in a variety of styles\n* Operate synchronously or asynchronously via file descriptors, or abstractly\n  via byte buffers\n* Recognise arbitrary keyboard input, including modifiers\\*\n* Make use of multiple terminals, if availble, from a single application\n\nThe following terminal features are supported:\n\n* Many rendering attributes; bold, italics\\*, underline, reverse,\n  strikethough\\*, alternate font\\*\n* 256 and 24-bit (16million) colors\\*\n* Mouse including mouse wheel and recognition of position reporting greater\n  than 224 columns\\*\n* Arbitrary scrolling regions\\*\n\n\\*: Not all terminals may support these features\n\n### Project Management\n\nThe main project management site, containing bug lists, feature blueprints,\nroadmaps, and a mirror of the source code is found on Launchpad, at\n[launchpad.net/libtickit](https://launchpad.net/libtickit).\n\n### Documentation\n\n[Online versions](http://www.leonerd.org.uk/code/libtickit/doc/) of the\nmanpages are available in HTML form.\n\n### Source\n\nThe primary upstream revision control system lives in [Bazaar](http://bazaar.leonerd.org.uk/c/libtickit).\n\nThis is mirrored by the Launchpad project above.\n\n### Changes\n\nThere are some issues with testing in Travis CI, although locally everything\npasses; this is likely due to `terminfo` differences.\n\nThe main change in this fork is the addition of checking `$COLORTERM` for\nsetting `rgb8` capabilities. This only works for `xterm` terminals, and works\nin conjunction with the palette testing -- I found that my local `xterm` did not\npass the palette test, but was capable of direct color. With these changes, now\n`$COLORTERM` can be set to `truecolor` or `24bit`, and direct color will be\nused.\n\nThere were also some bugs fixed. These commits contain fixes:\n\n* ***[0c9fe2c](https://github.com/Michionlion/libtickit/commit/0c9fe2cdc832f6c5791ee1f1877918b0265a11db)***\n  * When a `Tickit` is initialized it is not cleared, and therefore the `ti_hook`\n  struct has invalid contents, since it is never set by default. This fix uses\n  `calloc()` instead of `malloc()` to allocate the memory for a `Tickit`.\n* ***[4cc85fb](https://github.com/Michionlion/libtickit/commit/4cc85fbcfb0a3ad82d87742866817490f479a802)***\n  * A TickitTermBuilder's `ti_hook` was set after it was used to build a\n  `TickitTermDriver`. This fix moves the setting to before\n  `tickit_term_build_driver()` is called.\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fmichionlion%2Flibtickit","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fmichionlion%2Flibtickit","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fmichionlion%2Flibtickit/lists"}
