Window API [Simple]

Hey guys,

here is a small window api I wrote for myself.

It is definitely missing some functionality which will follow.
I will update it as im working on it for myself. :rolleyes:/>/>

Code: http://pastebin.com/mLqWVEUf

Functions:

window.new(x, y, width, length)
windowA:getTitle()
windowA:setTitle(title)
windowA:setLine(line, text, color) (line is relative to the window. 1 always first line, 2 second line...) (color is optional)
windowA:getLine(line)
windowA:clearLine(line)
windowA:setBackgroundColor(color)
windowA:setBorderColor(color)
windowA:setTitleColor(color)
windowA:draw()

Example (From Screenshot):

os.loadAPI("apis/window")
term.clear()

reactor = window.new(1,1,22,9)
reactor:setTitle("Nuklear Reaktor")
reactor:setBorderColor(colors.red)
reactor:setTitleColor(colors.green)
reactor:setLine(1, "Status: Online")
reactor:setLine(2, "Hitze:  100")
reactor:setLine(3, "Max.:   10000")
reactor:setLine(4, "Zeit:   2h 59m 59s")
reactor:setLine(5, "Output: 280 EU/t")
reactor:draw()

mfsu1 = window.new(24,1,21,6)
mfsu1:setTitle("MFSU Base")
mfsu1:setBorderColor(colors.green)
mfsu1:setTitleColor(colors.red)
mfsu1:setLine(1, "Energie: 10000000")
mfsu1:setLine(2, "Max.:	10000000")
mfsu1:draw()

mfsu2 = window.new(24,8,21,4)
mfsu2:setLine(1, "Energie: 10000000")
mfsu2:setLine(2, "Max.:	10000000")
mfsu2:draw()

os.pullEvent("key")
term.clear()
term.setCursorPos(1,1)

10.01.2013

Windows now draw backgrounds (Color changeable) - allows overlaying windows.
Line colors! - windowA:setLine(line, text, color)

Very nice! I'll be using this in some projects for sure!

Looks great. One note, NuClear

This is nice, I might use this code as a base for my Windows API if you don't mind, if I ever publish it I'll be sure to link back to here for credit.
Saves me writing the skeleton code myself.

Im glad you like it.
I just updated the code.

Changes:

Windows now draw backgrounds (Color changeable) - allows overlaying windows.
Line colors! - windowA:setLine(line, text, color)

Next up i will implement custom content functions (setCursorPos, write, etc. relative to window).

The text is german so it´s "Nuklear" for me :P/>

No problem you are free to use it as you like. Just give some credit and we are good. ;)/>

That was fast, I'll have to update again!
Can I make a request to be able to change the borders for both the sides, bottom and top? Just the character used, I would like to have "=" on the top, and also the ability to change the layout of the title?

-- Sets the title offset from the top left
w:setTitleOffset(x,y)
-- Auto centers the title, disregarding the x offset
w:setTitleLayout("center")
-- Normal layout
w:setTitleLayout("normal")
-- Changes the top border layout
-- Valid positions are top, bottom, left, right, middle ( middle is the line under the title )
w:setBorderCharacter("top", "=") 
-- Removes the line under the title
-- Alternatively setting the border character to "" would remove it entirely so even the "+" characters on the sides wouldn't show up.
w:disableTitleUnderline(true)

These are all changes I was going to add to the API anyway, so if you wouldn't mind having them in there, that'd be great.
