102 These functions write EGCs (Extended Grapheme Clusters) to the speci‐
103 fied struct ncplanes. The following inputs are supported:
104
105 • ncplane_putc(): writes a single nccell (see notcurses_cell(3))
106
107 • ncplane_putchar(): writes a single 7-bit ASCII character
108
109 • ncplane_putwc(): writes a single wchar_t (following UTF-8 conversion)
110
111 • ncplane_putwegc(): writes a single EGC from an array of wchar_t
112
113 • ncplane_putegc(): writes a single EGC from an array of UTF-8
114
115 • ncplane_putstr(): writes a set of EGCs from an array of UTF-8
116
117 • ncplane_putwstr(): writes a set of EGCs from an array of wchar_t
118
119 • ncplane_vprintf(): formatted output using va_list
120
121 • ncplane_printf(): formatted output using variadic arguments
122
123 • ncplane_puttext(): multi-line, line-broken, aligned text
124
125 All of these use the ncplane's active styling, save notcurses_putc(),
126 which uses the nccell's styling. Functions accepting a single EGC ex‐
127 pect a series of wchar_t terminated by L'\0' or a series of UTF-8 char
128 terminated by '\0'. The EGC must be well-formed, and must not contain
129 any cluster breaks. For more information, consult Unicode® Standard
130 Annex #29 (https://unicode.org/reports/tr29/). Functions accepting a
131 set of EGCs must consist of a series of well-formed EGCs, broken by
132 cluster breaks, terminated by the appropriate NUL terminator.
133
134 Control characters are rejected, except for a newline when the output
135 plane is in scrolling mode. A newline outside of scrolling mode will
136 be rejected.
137
138 These functions output to the ncplane's current cursor location. Aside
139 from ncplane_puttext(), they do not move to the next line upon reaching
140 the right extreme of the containing plane. If the entirety of the con‐
141 tent cannot be output, they will output as much as possible.
142
143 Each of these base functions has two additional forms:
144
145 • ncplane_putc_aligned(), etc.: accepts a row and an alignment type
146
147 • ncplane_putc_yx(), etc.: accepts a row and column
148
149 If a positional parameter is -1, no movement will be made along that
150 axis. Passing -1, -1 to e.g. ncplane_putc_yx() is equivalent to call‐
151 ing the base form. These functions are implemented by moving the cur‐
152 sor, and then performing the output. The two steps are atomic on suc‐
153 cess (it is not possible for another caller to move the cursor between
154 when it is positioned, and when output begins), and thus these func‐
155 tions ought generally be preferred to an explicit ncplane_cur‐
156 sor_move_yx().
157
158 Upon successful return, the cursor will follow the last cell output.
159
161 ncplane_cursor_move_yx() returns -1 on error (invalid coordinate), or 0
162 on success.
163
164 For output functions, a negative return indicates an error with the in‐
165 puts. Otherwise, the number of screen columns output is returned. It
166 is entirely possible to get a short return, if there was insufficient
167 room to output all EGCs.
