This is the internal representation of Images. Use the constructors in Graphics.Vty.Image to create instances.

Images are:

• a horizontal span of text
• a horizontal or vertical join of two images
• a two dimensional fill of the Pictures background character
• a cropped image
• an empty image of no size or content.

The width of an Image. This is the number display columns the image will occupy.

The height of an Image. This is the number of display rows the image will occupy.

The empty image. Useful for fold combinators. These occupy no space and do not affect display attributes.

Make an image from a single character. This is a standard Haskell 31-bit character assumed to be in the ISO-10646 encoding.

Make an Image from a String.

This is an alias for iso10646String since the usual case is that a literal string like "foo" is represented internally as a list of ISO 10646 31 bit characters. This function should not be given a string containing escapes.

Note: Keep in mind that GHC will compile source encoded as UTF-8 but the literal strings, while UTF-8 encoded in the source, will be transcoded to a ISO 10646 31 bit characters runtime representation.

Make an image from a string of characters layed out on a single row with the same display attribute. The string is assumed to be a sequence of ISO-10646 characters. This function should not be given a string containing escapes.

Note: depending on how the Haskell compiler represents string literals, a string literal in a UTF-8 encoded source file, for example, may be represented as a ISO-10646 string. That is, I think, the case with GHC 6.10. This means, for the most part, you don't need to worry about the encoding format when outputting string literals. Just provide the string literal directly to iso10646String or string.

Make an Image from a string of characters layed out on a single row. The input is assumed to be the bytes for UTF-8 encoded text.

Make an Image from a lazy text value. This function should not be given a text value containing escapes.

Make an Image from a text value. This function should not be given a text value containing escapes.

An area of the picture's background (See Background).

Make an Image from a UTF-8 encoded lazy bytestring.

Make an Image from a UTF-8 encoded strict bytestring.

Make an image filling a region with the specified character.

If either the width or height are less than or equal to 0, then the result is the empty image.

combines two images side by side

Combines text chunks where possible. Assures outputWidth and outputHeight properties are not violated.

The result image will have a width equal to the sum of the two images width. And the height will equal the largest height of the two images. The area not defined in one image due to a height missmatch will be filled with the background pattern.

Combines two images horizontally. This is an alias for horizJoin.

infixr 5

combines two images vertically

The result image will have a height equal to the sum of the heights of both images. The width will equal the largest width of the two images. The area not defined in one image due to a width missmatch will be filled with the background pattern.

Combines two images vertically. This is an alias for vertJoin.

infixr 4

Compose any number of images together horizontally, with the first in the list being leftmost.

Compose any number of images vertically, with the first in the list being topmost.

Ensure an image is no larger than the provided size. If the image is larger then crop the right or bottom.

This is equivalent to a vertical crop from the bottom followed by horizontal crop from the right.

Crop an image's width. If the image's width is less than or equal to the specified width then this operation has no effect. Otherwise the image is cropped from the right.

Crop an image's width. If the image's width is less than or equal to the specified width then this operation has no effect. Otherwise the image is cropped from the left.

Crop an image's height. If the image's height is less than or equal to the specified height then this operation has no effect. Otherwise the image is cropped from the bottom.

Crop an image's height. If the image's height is less than or equal to the specified height then this operation has no effect. Otherwise the image is cropped from the top.

Pad the given image. This adds background character fills to the left, top, right, bottom.

Generic resize. Pads and crops are added to ensure that the resulting image matches the specified dimensions. This is biased to pad/crop the right and bottom.

Resize the width. Pads and crops as required to assure the given display width. This is biased to pad/crop on the right.

Resize the height. Pads and crops as required to assure the given display height. This is biased to pad/crop on the bottom.

Translates an image by padding or cropping the left and top.

If translation offsets are negative then the image is cropped.

Translates an image by padding or cropping its left side.

Translates an image by padding or cropping its top.

Returns the display width of a character. Assumes all characters with unknown widths are 0 width.

Returns the display width of a string. Assumes all characters with unknown widths are 0 width.

Returns the display width of a text. Assumes all characters with unknown widths are 0 width.

Returns the display width of a lazy text. Assumes all characters with unknown widths are 0 width.

A display text is a Data.Text.Lazy

A region of the display (first width, then height)
