# PyWinConsoleBuffer

ctypes wrapper for a console buffer for multi-line text writing and re-writing.

# Usage

The main usage is for moving the write cursor along the buffer to write and update text.

Example updating 3 lines of text:

```python

from console_buffer import ConsoleBuffer, get_console_handle

import random

import time

buffer = ConsoleBuffer(100, 3)  # 3 line buffer with width of 100

handle = get_console_handle()

while True:

    line_one = f'One: {random.random()}'

    line_two = f'Two: {random.random()}'

    line_three = f'Three: {random.random()}'

    for index, line in enumerate([line_one, line_two, line_three]):

        buffer.set_position(0, index)

        buffer.write(line)

    buffer.show(handle)

    time.sleep(0.1)

```

## TODO

- [ ] Implement a writeline that takes care of trailing whitespace (ensuring previous text does not dangle at the tail)  

- [ ] Get the properties of the console to determine the width/height of the console as potential default  

- [ ] Allow the buffer to start somewhere other than origin (0, 0)

- [ ] Factor the console handle as a default in show method
