NAME

todo - TODO list

libcucul

API-dependent stuff

•

support for holes in canvas (eg. not full EOL)

•

support for TAB

•

allow to change the canvas size in a per-frame basis.

•

export attribute parsing functions such as attr_to_ansi4fg etc.

API-independent stuff

•

Brightness, contrast support for bitmaps (the functions are here, we just need to fill them)

•

Error distribution dithering

•

Add a random factor to the random ditherer. No need to change the API for that, we can just pass 'random:10' instead of "random" to the cucul_set_bitmap_dithering() function.

•

Implement the colour modes set in cucul_set_bitmap_color(). For the moment only "full16" and "16" are implemented.

•

Fix the thin ellipse rendering (currently it's only |s and -s, we could make them smoother by using ' ` , etc).

•

better mask support in cucul_blit()

•

optimise exporters so that they do not allocate huge blocks of memory when they only need half of it.

libcaca

API-dependent stuff

•

beep support

API-independent stuff

Language bindings

Needed
