Unicodedisplay

A unicode character based method of displaying pixels in the console, for C.

How to add to your project

Simply include the "unicodedisplay.h" header file into your project.

How to use

So here is a quick overview:

create_display(int width, int height)

Allocates memory for a buffer. Returns a display* The display struct contains it's width, height and an unsigned char buffer. The values can be modified to be set to either 1 or 0. Other values won't be appreciated...

free_display(display* display_ptr)

Free memory and delete the display 'object'.

set_pixel(display* display_ptr, int x, int y, unsigned char state)

Set a single 'pixel' on the display buffer to a state (either 1 or 0).

set_rect(display* display_ptr, int x, int y, int width, int height, unsigned char state)

Set a rectangle from the top left down to the bottom right to a state.

set_line(display* display_ptr, int x1, int y1, int x2, int y2, unsigned char state)

Set a line to a state.

set_section(display* dst, int x_offset, int y_offset, display* src)

Set values from the src display into the dst display with an offset.

merge_display(display* dst, display* src)

Merge two displays together using bitwise OR operation

print_display(display* display_ptr, int no_clear)

Prints the display using wprintf() for unicode. When no_clear == 1 the function won't use system("clear")

c print_buffer(display*)

Prints the buffer in 1s and 0s.

(I decided not to make a seperate code and seperate header file due to the simplicity of the code.)
