Library for creating terminal applications with text-based widgets

Overview

FINAL CUT

Library for creating terminal applications with text-based widgets

FINAL CUT is a C++ class library and widget toolkit with full mouse support for creating a text-based user interface. The library supports the programmer to develop an application for the text console. It allows the simultaneous handling of multiple text windows on the screen.

The structure of the Qt framework was originally the inspiration for the C++ class design of FINAL CUT. It provides common controls like dialog boxes, push buttons, check boxes, radio buttons, input lines, list boxes, status bars and so on.

Benchmark

Here you can find a test for measuring the character speed in the terminal.

Virtual terminal

FINAL CUT uses a virtual terminal to print character via an update method on the screen. It provides (as an overlying layer) virtual windows for the realization of window movements. The update methods only transfer differences to the virtual terminal or physical screen.

    Would you mind moving/dropping debian/ so it'd be easier to create an official debian package?

    I wasn't able to find an RFP/ITP bug yet, is it possible none was filed yet?

    I guess I'll create one, if there's no objections, WIP: http://sid.ethz.ch/debian/finalcut/

  • conflict between finalcut and other libearies (deal.II, trilinos, boost,etc.)

    conflict between finalcut and other libearies (deal.II, trilinos, boost,etc.)

    Hello, Dear Markus, I plan to build a text UI project to read parameter file of deal.II applications The separate UI works, but it failed the compilation when I include headers of both Deal.II and finalcut in a single source file by, #include <deal.II/base/parameter_handler.h> using namespace dealii; #include <final/final.h> using namespace finalcut; Note deal.II also include some headers of trilinos and boost library, It seems some objects in finalcut headers conflict with the version in trilinos and boost. Please see the following information Many thanks for your nice final cut and any possible help! Zhenyu

    How to hide or disable icon in the left corner in FDialog. How to make an exit button in my own FDialog.

    Hello, i've two issues.

    1. I will use my project with your library in tty, so i dont need to use this left-corner icon. How can i remove it? And how to resize this top-label. image All I need is to use labels and active buttons. Adding back or next buttons i will navigate throw these windows, overlapping or closing old ones. See the example below. It is very easy to make and configure them by using FDialog.

    2. I need to make my own exit-confirmation dialog, cause i need to translate it on different languages. The best idea i have is to create main widget and make an access to it using my exit-button. Am i right? Can you give a short example, if it isn't so hard. image

    P.S. Your library is awesome! Thx for creating it! P.P.S Sorry for my bad English, I haven't practiced for so long.

  • resizable dialog with scrollview

    resizable dialog with scrollview

    Dear Markus,

    after discovering just recently your amazing library I started to play around with your examples.

    I am trying to write a dialog (similar to examples/scrollview.cpp) that can display some text file. Of course this can be done with FTextView. But I thought implementing some simplified, self-made variant might be a good way to learn how some of the concepts of finalcut. So my problem is mainly academic and out of curiosity :D

    In a first step my plan was to write just a dialog that shows a fixed number of lines, e.g line = 1, ..., line = 42. This worked fine until I tried to make the dialog resizeable. My idea was that once a file is completely read into some buffer I will know the number of lines and number of columns that are needed to display it. Hence, the size of the scrollable area should at least have these "text dimensions".

    If I understand FScrollView::setGeometry correctly then it also changes the size of the scroll area. So after making the dialog smaller the scrollbars were gone ... My idea was that the overloaded setGeometry of my scrollview adjusts the scroll dimensions to the maximum of the current widget size and the "text dimensions". But this seems to be the wrong idea ...

    Maybe you can point me to some example or give me a hint how to manage this.

    Best regards, Michael

    Here the (working) variant using an instance of FTextView

    #include <final/final.h>
    
    using namespace finalcut;
    
    class PrgView final : public FDialog
    {
      public:
        PrgView(FWidget *parent)
          : FDialog{ parent }
          , lineView{ this } // show 42 lines
        {
            FString line;
            for (auto i{ 0 }; i < 42; ++i) {
                line.sprintf("line = %d\n", i);
                lineView.append(line.c_str());
            }
        }
    
        void
        initLayout() override
        {
            FDialog::setGeometry(FPoint{ 16, 3 }, FSize{ 50, 19 });
    
            setText("Program");
            setBorder(false);
            setResizeable();
            lineView.setGeometry(FPoint{ 1, 1 },
                                 FSize{ getWidth() - 1, getHeight() - 1 });
            FDialog::initLayout();
        }
    
        void
        adjustSize() override
        {
            FDialog::adjustSize();
            lineView.setGeometry(FPoint{ 1, 1 },
                                 FSize{ getWidth() - 1, getHeight() - 1 });
        }
    
        FTextView lineView;
    };
    
    int
    main(int argc, char *argv[])
    {
        FApplication app{ argc, argv };
    
        PrgView prgView{ &app };
        FWidget::setMainWidget(&prgView);
        app.show();
        return app.exec();
    }
    

    Here my attempt to achieve the same with a class derived from FScrollView:

    #include <final/final.h>
    
    using namespace finalcut;
    
    class LineView : public FScrollView
    {
      public:

            for (auto y{ 1 }; y <= int(numLines); ++y) {
                setPrintPos(FPoint{ 1, y });
                print() << "Line = " << y;
            }

    Markus Gans, I am really impressed of the work you have done! In comparision with dialog/newt-snack/ncurses/npyscreen it is like a breath of fresh air. Congratulations and please continue.

    I think your library will get more attention if there is a place where users (like me) can ask questions, ask for advices, etc. What shall it be? A mail list? A web forum? Probably the easiest solution (it does not require anything to setup) is to use Stackoverflow with [final-cut] tag?!
