Description

This module exports functions that return String values containing codes in accordance with the 'ANSI' standards for control character sequences described in the documentation of module System.Console.ANSI.

The module System.Console.ANSI exports functions with the same names as those in this module. On some versions of Windows, the terminal in use may not be ANSI-capable. When that is the case, the same-named functions exported by module System.Console.ANSI return "", for the reasons set out in the documentation of that module.

Consequently, if module System.Console.ANSI is also imported, this module is intended to be imported qualified, to avoid name clashes with those functions. For example:

import qualified System.Console.ANSI.Codes as ANSI

Basic data types

module System.Console.ANSI.Types

Cursor movement by character

These functions yield "" when the number is 0 as, on some terminals, a 0 parameter for the underlying 'ANSI' code specifies a default parameter of 1.

cursorUpCode Source #

Arguments

:: Int	Number of lines or characters to move
-> String

cursorDownCode Source #

Arguments

:: Int	Number of lines or characters to move
-> String

cursorForwardCode Source #

Arguments

:: Int	Number of lines or characters to move
-> String

cursorBackwardCode Source #

Arguments

:: Int	Number of lines or characters to move
-> String

Cursor movement by line

These functions yield the equivalent of setCursorColumnCode 0 when the number is 0 as, on some terminals, a 0 parameter for the underlying 'ANSI' code specifies a default parameter of 1.

cursorUpLineCode Source #

Arguments

:: Int	Number of lines to move
-> String

cursorDownLineCode Source #

Arguments

:: Int	Number of lines to move
-> String

Directly changing cursor position

setCursorColumnCode Source #

Arguments

:: Int	0-based column to move to
-> String

Code to move the cursor to the specified column. The column numbering is 0-based (that is, the left-most column is numbered 0).

setCursorPositionCode Source #

Arguments

:: Int	0-based row to move to
-> Int	0-based column to move to
-> String

Code to move the cursor to the specified position (row and column). The position is 0-based (that is, the top-left corner is at row 0 column 0).

Saving, restoring and reporting cursor position

saveCursorCode :: String Source #

Since: 0.7.1

restoreCursorCode :: String Source #

Since: 0.7.1

reportCursorPositionCode :: String Source #

Code to emit the cursor position into the console input stream, immediately after being recognised on the output stream, as: ESC [ <cursor row> ; <cursor column> R

Note that the information that is emitted is 1-based (the top-left corner is at row 1 column 1) but setCursorPositionCode is 0-based.

In isolation of getReportedCursorPosition or getCursorPosition, this function may be of limited use on Windows operating systems because of difficulties in obtaining the data emitted into the console input stream.

Since: 0.7.1

Clearing parts of the screen

clearFromCursorToScreenEndCode :: String Source #

clearFromCursorToScreenBeginningCode :: String Source #

clearScreenCode :: String Source #

clearFromCursorToLineEndCode :: String Source #

clearFromCursorToLineBeginningCode :: String Source #

clearLineCode :: String Source #

Scrolling the screen

These functions yield "" when the number is 0 as, on some terminals, a 0 parameter for the underlying 'ANSI' code specifies a default parameter of 1.

scrollPageUpCode Source #

Arguments

:: Int	Number of lines to scroll by
-> String

scrollPageDownCode Source #

Arguments

:: Int	Number of lines to scroll by
-> String

Using screen buffers

useAlternateScreenBufferCode :: String Source #

useNormalScreenBufferCode :: String Source #

Reporting background or foreground colors

reportLayerColorCode :: ConsoleLayer -> String Source #

Code to emit the layer color into the console input stream, immediately after being recognised on the output stream, as: ESC ] <Ps> ; rgb: <red> ; <green> ; <blue> <ST> where <Ps> is 10 for Foreground and 11 for Background; <red>, <green> and <blue> are the color channel values in hexadecimal (4, 8, 12 and 16 bit values are possible, although 16 bit values are most common); and <ST> is the STRING TERMINATOR (ST). ST depends on the terminal software and may be the BEL character or ESC \ characters.

This function may be of limited, or no, use on Windows operating systems because (1) the control character sequence is not supported on native terminals (2) of difficulties in obtaining the data emitted into the console input stream. See getReportedLayerColor.

Since: 0.11.4

Select Graphic Rendition mode: colors and other whizzy stuff

setSGRCode Source #

Arguments

:: [SGR]	Commands: these will typically be applied on top of the current console SGR mode. An empty list of commands is equivalent to the list `[Reset]`. Commands are applied left to right.
-> String

Cursor visibilty changes

hideCursorCode :: String Source #

showCursorCode :: String Source #

Hyperlinks

Some, but not all, terminals support hyperlinks - that is, clickable text that points to a URI.

hyperlinkCode Source #

Arguments

:: String	URI
-> String	Link text
-> String

Code to introduce a hyperlink.

Since: 0.11.3

hyperlinkWithIdCode Source #

Arguments

:: String	Identifier for the link
-> String	URI
-> String	Link text
-> String

Code to introduce a hyperlink with an identifier for the link. Some terminals support an identifier, so that hyperlinks with the same identifier are treated as connected.

Since: 0.11.3

hyperlinkWithParamsCode Source #

Arguments

:: [(String, String)]	Parameters
-> String	URI
-> String	Link text
-> String

Code to introduce a hyperlink with (key, value) parameters. Some terminals support an id parameter key, so that hyperlinks with the same id value are treated as connected.

Since: 0.11.3

Changing the title

setTitleCode Source #

Arguments

:: String	New window title and icon name
-> String

Code to set the terminal window title and the icon name (that is, the text for the window in the Start bar, or similar).

Utilities

colorToCode :: Color -> Int Source #

colorToCode color returns the 0-based index of the color (one of the eight colors in the ANSI standard).

csi Source #

Arguments

:: [Int]	List of parameters for the control sequence
-> String	Character(s) that identify the control function
-> String

csi parameters controlFunction, where parameters is a list of Int, returns the control sequence comprising the control function CONTROL SEQUENCE INTRODUCER (CSI) followed by the parameter(s) (separated by ';') and ending with the controlFunction character(s) that identifies the control function.

osc Source #

Arguments

:: String	Ps parameter
-> String	Pt parameter(s)
-> String

osc parameterS parametersT, where parameterS specifies the type of operation to perform and parametersT is the other parameter(s) (if any), returns the control sequence comprising the control function OPERATING SYSTEM COMMAND (OSC) followed by the parameters (separated by ';') and ending with the STRING TERMINATOR (ST) "\ESC\\".

Since: 0.11.4

sgrToCode Source #

Arguments

:: SGR	The SGR aspect
-> [Int]

sgrToCode sgr returns the parameter of the SELECT GRAPHIC RENDITION (SGR) aspect identified by sgr.
