| 7 | - big change: support several internal formats for canvases, for instance |
|---|
| 8 | support the old ASCII canvas that only has 8-bit values, support the old |
|---|
| 9 | ANSI color-only canvas, and add features to canvases, such as auto-adapt so |
|---|
| 10 | that the canvas' format is automatically upgraded. Also, separate attribute |
|---|
| 11 | stuff from colour stuff. List of attributes we support: |
|---|
| 12 | - bold |
|---|
| 13 | - blink |
|---|
| 14 | - underline |
|---|
| 15 | - italics |
|---|
| 16 | list of attributes we may want to support: |
|---|
| 17 | - faint |
|---|
| 18 | - concealed |
|---|
| 19 | - double underline |
|---|
| 20 | - strike through |
|---|
| 21 | - inverse video (not that stupid, canceling it is a bitwise op) |
|---|
| 22 | - rapidly blinking / slowly blinking |
|---|
| 23 | - fraktur (gothic) (wtf is that?) |
|---|
| 24 | - alternate fonts 1 to 9 (wtf is that?) (probably not wanted) |
|---|
| 25 | - proportional spacing (yeah) |
|---|
| 26 | - framed |
|---|
| 27 | - encircled |
|---|
| 28 | - overlined |
|---|
| 29 | |
|---|
| 30 | - add a caca_unset_attr() and a caca_toggle_attr() ? |
|---|
| 31 | |
|---|
| 32 | - support for holes in canvas (eg. not full EOL) |
|---|
| 33 | - support for TAB |
|---|
| 34 | - allow to change the canvas size in a per-frame basis. |
|---|
| 35 | - add attributes such as "can grow X-wise" to frames. |
|---|
| 36 | - handle frame name in caca export |
|---|
| 37 | |

| 39 | |
|---|
| 40 | - Brightness, contrast support for bitmaps (the functions are here, we |
|---|
| 41 | just need to fill them) |
|---|
| 42 | - Implement other error distribution dithering algorithms |
|---|
| 43 | - Add a random factor to the random ditherer. No need to change the API |
|---|
| 44 | for that, we can just pass \c "random:10" instead of \c "random" to the |
|---|
| 45 | cucul_set_bitmap_dithering() function. |
|---|
| 46 | - Implement the colour modes set in cucul_set_bitmap_color(). For the |
|---|
| 47 | moment only \c "full16" and \c "16" are implemented. |
|---|
| 48 | - Fix the thin ellipse rendering (currently it's only |s and -s, we |
|---|
| 49 | could make them smoother by using ' ` , etc). |
|---|
| 50 | - better mask support in cucul_blit() |
|---|
| 51 | - optimise exporters so that they do not allocate huge blocks of memory |
|---|
| 52 | when they only need half of it. |

|---|
| 67 | - fix Unicode support for ncurses (look at the nano source, it gets it right) |
|---|
| 68 | - and Jylam wants a framebuffer output |
|---|
| 69 | - write sample code for a text edit widget with cursor support |
|---|
| 70 | - optimise renderers by having dirty lines support (requires libcucul |
