Viewdata Display

This library is designed to offer a simple way to create a Viewdata (Videotext) display.

By passing a stream of Viewdata characters to one of the Write methods of this component, it will create a correctly formatted Viewdata display object that can be consumed by any DotNet project such as a WPF, Avalonia project.

If the library is used with the MODE7GFX.TTF font, the Display.Chars display property can be used directly to present Sixel graphics, Double Height, Conceal, Reveal, Flass etc.

Getting Started

DisplayManager

The primary object for interfacing with this library is the DisplayManager. This will create a blank display accessible via the DidplayManager.Display property.

DisplayManager.Display returns a collection of 1000 Char objects representing 25 rows of 40 characters. The Char object has all of the following attributes.

Char.Foreground = Foreground Colour
Char.Background = Background Colour
Char.Value = Character Value
Char.InVisible = Visibility of the character
Char.InvisibleForeground = Visibility of the foreground
Char.Control = True if the character is a control character;
Char.Flash = True if the character is a flashig character
Char.Concealed = true if the character is concealed
Char.Separated = True if the character is a separated Alpha-Mosaic graphics character
Char.Graphic = True if the character is an Alpha-Mosaic graphics character
Char.GraphicsHold = True if the character is a graphics hold character
Char.DoubleHeight = True if the character is a double height character

DisplayManager.Write

By passing raw Viewdata characters including all escape codes ets to one of the write methods, the Display object will be correctly formatted with the appropriate attributes set for each character position.

DisplayManager.Cursor

The Cursor property allows an underscore character to be placed anywhere on the screen.
