:func:`~curses.newwin` function creates a new window of a given size,
returning the new window object. ::
- begin_x = 20 ; begin_y = 7
- height = 5 ; width = 40
+ begin_x = 20; begin_y = 7
+ height = 5; width = 40
win = curses.newwin(height, width, begin_y, begin_x)
Note that the coordinate system used in curses is unusual.
# explained in the next section
for y in range(0, 99):
for x in range(0, 99):
- pad.addch(y,x, ord('a') + (x*x+y*y) % 26 )
+ pad.addch(y,x, ord('a') + (x*x+y*y) % 26)
# Displays a section of the pad in the middle of the screen.
# (0,0) : coordinate of upper-left corner of pad area to display.
An example, which displays a line of text using color pair 1::
- stdscr.addstr( "Pretty text", curses.color_pair(1) )
+ stdscr.addstr("Pretty text", curses.color_pair(1))
stdscr.refresh()
As I said before, a color pair consists of a foreground and background color.
will change to the new colors. You can also display new text in this color
with::
- stdscr.addstr(0,0, "RED ALERT!", curses.color_pair(1) )
+ stdscr.addstr(0,0, "RED ALERT!", curses.color_pair(1))
Very fancy terminals can change the definitions of the actual colors to a given
RGB value. This lets you change color 1, which is usually red, to purple or
