.sh 1 "Cursor Movement Optimizations"
|
|
.pp
|
|
One of the most difficult things to do properly is motion optimization.
|
|
After using
|
|
.Fn gettmode
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn setterm
|
|
to get the terminal descriptions,
|
|
the function
|
|
.Fn mvcur
|
|
deals with this task.
|
|
It usage is simple:
|
|
simply tell it where you are now and where you want to go.
|
|
For example
|
|
.(l
|
|
mvcur(0\*,0\*,LINES/2\*,COLS/2);
|
|
.)l
|
|
.lp
|
|
would move the cursor from the home position (0\*,0)
|
|
to the middle of the screen.
|
|
If you wish to force absolute addressing,
|
|
you can use the function
|
|
.Fn tgoto
|
|
from the
|
|
.b termlib (7)
|
|
routines,
|
|
or you can tell
|
|
.Fn mvcur
|
|
that you are impossibly far away,
|
|
For example,
|
|
to absolutely address the lower left hand corner of the screen
|
|
from anywhere
|
|
just claim that you are in the upper right hand corner:
|
|
.(l
|
|
mvcur(0\*,COLS\-1\*,LINES\-1\*,0);
|
|
.)l
