libtickit-perl - 0.71-3+b1 main

Tickit is a high-level toolkit for creating full-screen terminal-based
interactive programs. It allows programs to be written in an abstracted way,
working with a tree of widget objects, to represent the layout of the
interface and implement its behaviours.
.
Its supported terminal features includes a rich set of rendering attributes
(bold, underline, italic, 256-colours, etc), support for mouse including
wheel and position events above the 224th column and arbitrary modified key
input via libtermkey (all of these will require a supporting terminal as
well). It also supports having multiple instances and non-blocking or
asynchronous control.
.
At the current version, this is a Perl distribution which contains and XS and
C implementation of the lower levels (Tickit::Term and Tickit::Pen), and
implements the higher levels (Tickit::Window and Tickit::Widget) in pure
perl. The XS parts are supported by libtickit, either from the installed
library, or using a bundled copy compiled at build time. It is intended that
eventually the Window layer will be rewritten in XS and C instead.
