NAME

       notcurses_fade - fade ncplanes in and out

SYNOPSIS

       #include <notcurses/notcurses.h>

              struct ncfadectx;

              // Called for each delta performed in a fade on ncp. If anything but 0 is
              // returned, the fading operation ceases immediately, and that value is
              // propagated out. If provided and not NULL, the faders will not themselves
              // call notcurses_render().
              typedef int (*fadecb)(struct notcurses* nc, struct ncplane* ncp,
                                    const struct timespec*, void* curry);

       bool notcurses_canfade(const struct notcurses* nc);

       int ncplane_fadeout(struct ncplane* n, const struct timespec* ts, fadecb fader, void* curry);

       int ncplane_fadein(struct ncplane* n, const struct timespec* ts, fadecb fader, void* curry);

       int ncplane_pulse(struct ncplane* n, const struct timespec* ts, fadecb fader, void* curry);

       struct ncfadectx* ncfadectx_setup(struct ncplane* n);

       int ncfadectx_iterations(const struct ncfadectx* nctx);

       int  ncplane_fadeout_iteration(struct  ncplane*  n, struct ncfadectx* nctx, int iter, fadecb fader, void*
       curry);

       int ncplane_fadein_iteration(struct ncplane* n, struct ncfadectx* nctx, int  iter,  fadecb  fader,  void*
       curry);

       void ncfadectx_free(struct ncfadectx* nctx);

DESCRIPTION

       ncplane_fadeout,  ncplane_fadein,  and ncplane_pulse are simple APIs for fading planes in and out.  Fades
       require either RGB support or palette  reprogramming  support  from  the  terminal  (the  RGB  method  is
       preferred,  and will be used whenever possible).  The ts parameter specifies the total amount of time for
       the fade operation.  The operation itself is time-adaptive (i.e.  if it finds itself falling  behind,  it
       will skip iterations; if it is proceeding too quickly, it will sleep).

       These  are  wrappers  around  the more flexible ncfadectx API.  Create an ncfadectx with ncfadectx_setup.
       The number of possible state changes (iterations) can be accessed with ncfadectx_iterations.  A state can
       be  reached  with  ncplane_fadeout_iteration or ncplane_fadein_iteration.  Finally, destroy the ncfadectx
       with ncfadectx_free.

RETURN VALUES

       ncplane_fadeout_iteration and ncplane_fadein_iteration will propagate out any non-zero return value  from
       the callback fader.

BUGS

       Palette  reprogramming  can affect other contents of the terminal in complex ways.  This is not a problem
       when the RGB method is used.
