Colors, formatting and utilities for the terminal.

Usage

The module terminal contains everything needed to use the library.

The class Terminal uses a File (stdout by default) to perform the actions.

Title

The console's title can be obtained using the title property (Windows only) and set using the same property.

auto terminal = new Terminal();
terminal.title = "My Terminal";
version(Windows) assert(terminal.title == "My Terminal");

Size

The terminal's size (width and height) can be obtained through the size property.

auto terminal = new Terminal();
auto size = terminal.size;
assert(size.columns == terminal.width);
assert(size.rows == terminal.height);

Colors and formatting

Colors and formatting can be changed using direct properties or directly in the Terminal's write and writeln functions.

terminal.background = Color.black;
terminal.foreground = Color.white;
terminal.italic = true;
terminal.writeln("White on black!");
terminal.reset();

The color can be changed directly using the background and foreground properties, setting them to a value from the Color enum or an array of 3 bytes (24-bit color). The Color.reset value resets the background or the foreground to its original value.

Available colors:

• black
• red
• green
• blue
• yellow
• magenta
• cyan
• lightGray
• gray
• brightRed
• brightGreen
• brightBlue
• brightYellow
• brightMagenta
• brightCyan
• white

Available formatting (support may vary between various terminals):

• bold
• italic
• strikethrough
• underlined
• overlined
• inversed

terminal.writelnr(Background(Color.black), Foreground(Color.white), Underlined.yes, "Underlined white on black!");
terminal.writelnr(Bold.yes, Foreground(255, 0, 0), "Bold red using 16m colors! ", Bold.no, "Just red.");
terminal.writelnr(Foreground(Color.green), "green text, ", reset, "default text");
