ncurses_border — Draw a border around the screen using attributed characters

Description

int ncurses_border ( int $left , int $right , int $top , int $bottom , int $tl_corner , int $tr_corner , int $bl_corner , int $br_corner )

Warning

This function is EXPERIMENTAL. The behaviour of this function, its name, and surrounding documentation may change without notice in a future release of PHP. This function should be used at your own risk.

Draws the specified lines and corners around the main window.

Use ncurses_wborder() for borders around subwindows!

Parameters

Every parameter expects 0 to draw a line or 1 to skip it.

left
right
top
bottom
tl_corner: Top left corner
tr_corner: Top right corner
bl_corner: Bottom left corner
br_corner: Bottom right corner


I've found several undocumented constants, that are very useful to create borders manually:



ACS_ULCORNER

ACS_LLCORNER

ACS_URCORNER

ACS_LRCORNER

ACS_LTEE

ACS_RTEE

ACS_BTEE

ACS_TTEE

ACS_HLINE

ACS_VLINE

ACS_PLUS

ACS_S1

ACS_S9

ACS_DIAMOND

ACS_CKBOARD

ACS_DEGREE

ACS_PLMINUS

ACS_BULLET

ACS_LARROW

ACS_RARROW

ACS_DARROW

ACS_UARROW

ACS_BOARD

ACS_LANTERN

ACS_BLOCK



They all work in UTF8 terminal...

In addition to the lack of ncurses_wborder() documentation.

There is also the lack of the getyx function..

it is different than the getxy function I wrote (and posted to the main ncurses docs page on php.net) to get the max X and max Y values, instead it gives you your current Y and X values.



ncurses_getyx($z, $y, $x);// where $z = a window handle...

# the $y and $x are handed back as globals.

# so beware of using this in a function where you might be

# looping through any variable using those.

# do a 'man getyx' to see.
