PseudoCanvas

In some cases you can get better results by synthetic increasing of "pixel resolution". This is possible by calling render.setPseudoCanvas(true) method. After that render would use โ––โ–—โ–˜โ–™โ–šโ–›โ–œโ–โ–žโ–Ÿโ–„โ–โ–Œโ–€โ–ˆ chars for drawing 4 points in 1 char. This is would work only if you do not use any special symbols for drawing (but you still can use Overlay to combine two different renders).

Example 1: line in 30x10 resolution:

โ–ˆโ–ˆ                            
  โ–ˆโ–ˆโ–ˆ                         
     โ–ˆโ–ˆโ–ˆโ–ˆ                     
         โ–ˆโ–ˆโ–ˆ                  
            โ–ˆโ–ˆโ–ˆ               
               โ–ˆโ–ˆโ–ˆ            
                  โ–ˆโ–ˆโ–ˆ         
                     โ–ˆโ–ˆโ–ˆโ–ˆ     
                         โ–ˆโ–ˆโ–ˆ  
                            โ–ˆโ–ˆ

		IRender render = new Render();
		IContextBuilder builder = render.newBuilder();
		builder.width(30).height(10);
		builder.element(new Line(new Point(0, 0), new Point(29, 9), 'โ–ˆ'));
		ICanvas canvas = render.render(builder.build());
		String s = canvas.getText();
		System.out.println(s);

And same line in 60x20 resolution:

โ–€โ–„โ––

		IRender render = new Render();

Release notes

Version 0.9.0

Version 1.0.0

  • Reworking API. Add new elements.

Version 1.1.0

  • Add PseudoText element.
  • Use Bresenham's algorithm for line drawing.

Version 1.2.0

  • Simplify extending existing elements.

Version 1.2.1

  • Pass axis type to format method in AxisLabels element.

Version 1.2.2

  • Add deploy to maven central.

Version 1.2.3

  • Add url to pom's.

Version 1.2.4

  • Add some useful methods to builder.

Version 1.3.0

  • Add table element.

Version 1.4.0

  • Add overlay element.
  • Added possibility to trim canvas.
  • Simplified extending of existing implementation.

Version 1.5.0

  • Improved canvas draw performance.

Version 2.0.0

  • Canvas now is empty by default - contains only \0 and \n symbols. Previous Canvas implementation contained \s and \n symbols. This new changes break backward compatibility for drawing behavior in some cases (but do not break compile time API compatibility). Now overlapping of layers would work correctly when you directly draw spaces \s to layer.
  • Added opacity for layers.

Version 2.1.0

  • Added table cells highlighting.

Version 2.1.1

  • Added some useful constructors.

Version 2.1.2

  • Fixed javadoc.

Version 2.1.3

  • Simplified extending of Table element.

Version 2.2.0

  • Added possibility to increase "pixel" resolution.
