The "braille" library, contrary to
its name, in fact a library for the
drawing of graphics using the...
"repurposed" Braille characters in
OC's font. This library is meant to
be usable easily from applications,
including those that mix text and
graphics in a normal UI.
Upon requiring, you get a wrapMeta'd
table, which consists of two
functions at this time:
calcLine(x, y, w, span, get
[, colour]) -> calc:
Given an X/Y character position,
and a given width in characters,
along with the get function:
get(xp, yp) -> r, g, b
(NOTE: These coords are 0-based!)
and colour (a number, the amount of
difference required to cause an
FG/BG change - not giving this
disables colour output),
output spans to the span function:
span(x, y, str, bg, fg)
new(x, y, w, h, cbs, colour) -> nux:
Creates a NeoUX component for an
embedded braille image.
X, Y, W and H are in characters,
each character offering 2x4 pixels.
cbs is a table that may have the
following fields:
selectable : The selectable flag.
key/clipboard :
Identical to NeoUX's.
touch/drag/drop/scroll: See NeoUX
for full details, but the xI and
yI parameters are gone, and the
X/Y coordinates are in Braille
pixels. The button/direction value
if any remains unchanged, but in
an earlier position.
and must have a "get" function:
get(window, x, y) -> r, g, b
Gets the R/G/B of a pixel on the
image, with a 1-based pixel X/Y.
Details of conversion are hidden
from the user of this library for
future improvement by the end-user
or another party, but in no-colour
mode, 255, 255, 255 will always
show white and 0, 0, 0 will always
show black.
colour enables colour (see above),
though if displayed on a screen
without colour, this option is
ignored for that time.
