DESCRIPTION
This package provides commands to send ANSI terminal control sequences to a terminal. All
commands come in two variants, one for sending to any channel, the other for sending to
stdout.
The commands are defined using the control sequences provided by the package
term::ansi::code::ctrl. They have the same arguments as the commands they are based on,
with the exception of the variant for sending to any channel. Their first argument is
always a channel handle, then followed by the original arguments. Below we will list only
the variant sending to stdout.
::term::ansi::send::import ?ns? ...
Imports the commands of this package into the namespace ns. If not specified it
defaults to send. Note that this default is a relative namespace name, i.e. the
actual namespace will be created under the current namespace.
By default all commands will be imported, this can however be restricted to
specific commands, by listing them after the namespace to import them into.
::term::ansi::send::eeol
Erase (to) End Of Line.
::term::ansi::send::esol
Erase (to) Start Of Line.
::term::ansi::send::el
Erase (current) Line.
::term::ansi::send::ed

::term::ansi::send::sd
Scroll Down.
::term::ansi::send::su
Scroll Up.
::term::ansi::send::ch
Cursor Home.
::term::ansi::send::sc
Save Cursor. Note: Only one saved position can be handled. This is no unlimited
stack. Saving before restoring will overwrite the saved data.
::term::ansi::send::rc
Restore Cursor (Unsave).
::term::ansi::send::sca
Save Cursor + Attributes.
::term::ansi::send::rca
Restore Cursor + Attributes.
::term::ansi::send::st

::term::ansi::send::eg
Enter Graphics Mode.
::term::ansi::send::lg
Exit Graphics Mode.
::term::ansi::send::scs0 tag
::term::ansi::send::scs1 tag
Select Character Set.
Choose which character set is used for default (scs0) and alternate font (scs1).
This does not change whether default or alternate font are used, just their
definitions.
The legal tags, and their meanings, are:
A United Kingdom Set
B ASCII Set
0 Special Graphics
1 Alternate Character ROM Standard Character Set
2 Alternate Character ROM Special Graphics
::term::ansi::send::sda arg...
Set Display Attributes. The arguments are the code sequences for the possible
attributes, as provided by the package term::ansi::code::attr. For convenience this
package also provides additional commands each setting a single specific attribute.

::term::ansi::send::sda_fgmagenta
Set text color to Magenta.
::term::ansi::send::sda_fgcyan
Set text color to Cyan.
::term::ansi::send::sda_fgwhite

::term::ansi::send::sda_bgred
Set background to Red.
::term::ansi::send::sda_bggreen
Set background to Green.
::term::ansi::send::sda_bgyellow

::term::ansi::send::fcp row col
Force Cursor Position (aka Go To).
::term::ansi::send::cu ?n?
Cursor Up. n defaults to 1.
::term::ansi::send::cd ?n?
Cursor Down. n defaults to 1.
::term::ansi::send::cf ?n?
Cursor Forward. n defaults to 1.
::term::ansi::send::cb ?n?
Cursor Backward. n defaults to 1.
::term::ansi::send::ss ?s e?
Scroll Screen (entire display, or between rows start end, inclusive).
::term::ansi::send::skd code str
Set Key Definition.
::term::ansi::send::title str
Set the terminal title.
::term::ansi::send::gron
Switch to character/box graphics. I.e. switch to the alternate font.
::term::ansi::send::groff
Switch to regular characters. I.e. switch to the default font.
::term::ansi::send::tlc
Character graphics, Top Left Corner.
::term::ansi::send::trc
Character graphics, Top Right Corner.
::term::ansi::send::brc
Character graphics, Bottom Right Corner.
::term::ansi::send::blc
Character graphics, Bottom Left Corner.
::term::ansi::send::ltj

::term::ansi::send::groptim str
Optimize character graphics. The generator commands above create way to many
superfluous commands shifting into and out of the graphics mode. This command
removes all shifts which are not needed. To this end it also knows which characters
will look the same in both modes, to handle strings created outside of this
package.
::term::ansi::send::clear
Clear screen. In essence a sequence of CursorHome + EraseDown.
::term::ansi::send::init
Initialize default and alternate fonts to ASCII and box graphics.
::term::ansi::send::showat row col text
Show the block of text at the specified location.
