DESCRIPTION

ncplane_polyfill_yx starts at the specified y and x (provide -1 to use the cursor's position in the relevant dimension). The cell at these coordinates is replaced with c. All connected cells having the same content as this original cell are replaced with c, recursively. Two cells are connected if they are vertical or horizontal neighbors of one another.

ncplane_gradient replaces all glyphs in the specified area with egc, and colors them with the specified gradient. All content within the specified area is destroyed.

ncplane_gradient2x1 draws a high-definition gradient in the specified area. It will return an error if UTF8 is not being used. The gradient is drawn using the UPPER HALF BLOCK glyph, with two vertical steps and one horizontal step in each cell. Since cells are often about twice as tall as they are wide, this tends to result in very even color differences. All content within the specified area is destroyed.

ncplane_format sets the attributes of every cell in the region having its upper-left corner at y and x (provide -1 to use the cursor's position in the relevant dimension), and its area defined by ylen and xlen (provide 0 to use all remaining area to the right and below, respectively). Channels and glyphs will be unaffected.

ncplane_stain works the same way, but sets channels. Standard linear interpolation is applied between the provided corner channels. Glyphs and their attributes will be unaffected.

Box- and line-drawing is unaffected by a plane's scrolling status.

RETURN VALUES

ncplane_format, ncplane_stain, ncplane_gradient, ncplane_gradient2x1, and ncplane_polyfill_yx return -1 if any coordinates are outside the plane, and otherwise the number of cells affected.

ncplane_hline_interp, ncplane_hline, ncplane_vline_interp, and ncplane_vline all return the number of glyphs drawn on success, or -1 on failure. Passing a length of 0 is an error.
