## install

install the [package](https://npmjs.com/drawille) with `npm`:

```

$ npm install --save drawille

```

## usage

See [examples](examples).

this module provides a very basic API only, for fancy things, like drawing lines, use another module, like [`bresenham`](https://github.com/madbence/node-bresenham).

[`drawille-canvas`](https://github.com/madbence/node-drawille-canvas) provides HTML5 Canvas API for drawille.

## api

### `Canvas(w, h)`

Create a new canvas with the given dimensions.

`w` must be multiple of 2, `h` must be multiple of 4.

Uses `columns` & `rows` from `process.stdout` as default values for `w` and `h`.

### `canvas.set(x, y)`

Draw point on `canvas` at the given position.

### `canvas.unset(x, y)`

Delete point on `canvas` at the given position.

### `canvas.toggle(x, y)`

Toggle point on `canvas` at the given position.

### `canvas.clear()`

Clear the whole canvas (delete every point).

### `canvas.frame(delimiter)`

return the current content of `canvas`, as a `delimiter`-delimited

string. `delimiter` defaults to `\n`.

it uses braille characters to represent points,

so every line has length of `w/2`, and the string contains `h/4`

lines.

## projects

- [`vtop`](https://github.com/MrRio/vtop) uses it to draw CPU and memory usage charts in the terminal

- [`datop`](https://github.com/maxogden/datop) uses it to draw [dat](https://github.com/maxogden/dat) statistics

- [`boscillate`](https://www.npmjs.org/package/boscillate) uses it to draw [`baudio`](https://github.com/substack/baudio) soundwaves in real-time
