Function Documentation
__extern uint32_t caca_get_attr (caca_canvas_t const *cv, intx, inty) Get the internal libcaca attribute value of the character at the given
coordinates. The attribute value has 32 significant bits, organised as follows from MSB to LSB:
o 3 bits for the background alpha
o 4 bits for the background red component
o 4 bits for the background green component
o 3 bits for the background blue component
o 3 bits for the foreground alpha
o 4 bits for the foreground red component
o 4 bits for the foreground green component
o 3 bits for the foreground blue component
o 4 bits for the bold, italics, underline and blink flags
If the coordinates are outside the canvas boundaries, the current attribute is returned.
This function never fails.
Parameters:
cv A handle to the libcaca canvas.
x X coordinate.
y Y coordinate.
Returns:
The requested attribute.

__extern int caca_set_attr (caca_canvas_t *cv, uint32_tattr) Set the default character attribute for drawing. Attributes define foreground and
background colour, transparency, bold, italics and underline styles, as well as blink. String functions such as caca_printf() and graphical
primitive functions such as caca_draw_line() will use this attribute.
The value of attr is either:
o a 32-bit integer as returned by caca_get_attr(), in which case it also contains colour information,
o a combination (bitwise OR) of style values (CACA_UNDERLINE, CACA_BLINK, CACA_BOLD and CACA_ITALICS), in which case setting the attribute
does not modify the current colour information.
To retrieve the current attribute value, use caca_get_attr(-1,-1).
This function never fails.
Parameters:
cv A handle to the libcaca canvas.
attr The requested attribute value.
Returns:
This function always returns 0.
Referenced by caca_dither_bitmap(), and caca_put_figchar().
__extern int caca_unset_attr (caca_canvas_t *cv, uint32_tattr) Unset flags in the default character attribute for drawing. Attributes define
foreground and background colour, transparency, bold, italics and underline styles, as well as blink. String functions such as
caca_printf() and graphical primitive functions such as caca_draw_line() will use this attribute.
The value of attr is a combination (bitwise OR) of style values (CACA_UNDERLINE, CACA_BLINK, CACA_BOLD and CACA_ITALICS). Unsetting these
attributes does not modify the current colour information.
To retrieve the current attribute value, use caca_get_attr(-1,-1).
This function never fails.
Parameters:
cv A handle to the libcaca canvas.
attr The requested attribute values to unset.
Returns:
This function always returns 0.
__extern int caca_toggle_attr (caca_canvas_t *cv, uint32_tattr) Toggle flags in the default character attribute for drawing. Attributes define
foreground and background colour, transparency, bold, italics and underline styles, as well as blink. String functions such as
caca_printf() and graphical primitive functions such as caca_draw_line() will use this attribute.
The value of attr is a combination (bitwise OR) of style values (CACA_UNDERLINE, CACA_BLINK, CACA_BOLD and CACA_ITALICS). Toggling these
attributes does not modify the current colour information.
To retrieve the current attribute value, use caca_get_attr(-1,-1).
This function never fails.
Parameters:
cv A handle to the libcaca canvas.
attr The requested attribute values to toggle.
Returns:
This function always returns 0.
__extern int caca_put_attr (caca_canvas_t *cv, intx, inty, uint32_tattr) Set the character attribute, without changing the character's value.
If the character at the given coordinates is a fullwidth character, both cells' attributes are replaced.
The value of attr is either:
o a 32-bit integer as returned by caca_get_attr(), in which case it also contains colour information,
o a combination (bitwise OR) of style values (CACA_UNDERLINE, CACA_BLINK, CACA_BOLD and CACA_ITALICS), in which case setting the attribute
does not modify the current colour information.
This function never fails.
Parameters:
cv A handle to the libcaca canvas.
x X coordinate.
y Y coordinate.
attr The requested attribute value.
Returns:
This function always returns 0.

__extern int caca_set_color_ansi (caca_canvas_t *cv, uint8_tfg, uint8_tbg) Set the default ANSI colour pair for text drawing. String functions
such as caca_printf() and graphical primitive functions such as caca_draw_line() will use these attributes.
Color values are those defined in caca.h, such as CACA_RED or CACA_TRANSPARENT.
If an error occurs, 0 is returned and errno is set accordingly:
o EINVAL At least one of the colour values is invalid.
Parameters:
cv A handle to the libcaca canvas.
fg The requested ANSI foreground colour.
bg The requested ANSI background colour.
Returns:
0 in case of success, -1 if an error occurred.

__extern int caca_set_color_argb (caca_canvas_t *cv, uint16_tfg, uint16_tbg) Set the default ARGB colour pair for text drawing. String
functions such as caca_printf() and graphical primitive functions such as caca_draw_line() will use these attributes.
Colors are 16-bit ARGB values, each component being coded on 4 bits. For instance, 0xf088 is solid dark cyan (A=15 R=0 G=8 B=8), and 0x8fff
is white with 50% alpha (A=8 R=15 G=15 B=15).
This function never fails.
Parameters:
cv A handle to the libcaca canvas.
fg The requested ARGB foreground colour.
bg The requested ARGB background colour.
Returns:
This function always returns 0.
__extern uint8_t caca_attr_to_ansi (uint32_tattr) Get the ANSI colour pair for a given attribute. The returned value is an 8-bit value whose
higher 4 bits are the background colour and lower 4 bits are the foreground colour.
If the attribute has ARGB colours, the nearest colour is used. Special attributes such as CACA_DEFAULT and CACA_TRANSPARENT are not handled
and are both replaced with CACA_LIGHTGRAY for the foreground colour and CACA_BLACK for the background colour.
This function never fails. If the attribute value is outside the expected 32-bit range, higher order bits are simply ignored.
Parameters:
attr The requested attribute value.
Returns:
The corresponding DOS ANSI value.
References CACA_BLACK, and CACA_LIGHTGRAY.
__extern uint8_t caca_attr_to_ansi_fg (uint32_tattr) Get the ANSI foreground colour value for a given attribute. The returned value is either
one of the CACA_RED, CACA_BLACK etc. predefined colours, or the special value CACA_DEFAULT meaning the media's default foreground value, or
the special value CACA_TRANSPARENT.
If the attribute has ARGB colours, the nearest colour is returned.
This function never fails. If the attribute value is outside the expected 32-bit range, higher order bits are simply ignored.
Parameters:
attr The requested attribute value.
Returns:
The corresponding ANSI foreground value.

__extern uint8_t caca_attr_to_ansi_bg (uint32_tattr) Get the ANSI background colour value for a given attribute. The returned value is either
one of the CACA_RED, CACA_BLACK etc. predefined colours, or the special value CACA_DEFAULT meaning the media's default background value, or
the special value CACA_TRANSPARENT.
If the attribute has ARGB colours, the nearest colour is returned.
This function never fails. If the attribute value is outside the expected 32-bit range, higher order bits are simply ignored.
Parameters:
attr The requested attribute value.
Returns:
The corresponding ANSI background value.

__extern uint16_t caca_attr_to_rgb12_fg (uint32_tattr) Get the 12-bit foreground colour value for a given attribute. The returned value is a
native-endian encoded integer with each red, green and blue values encoded on 8 bits in the following order:
o 8-11 most significant bits: red
o 4-7 most significant bits: green
o least significant bits: blue
This function never fails. If the attribute value is outside the expected 32-bit range, higher order bits are simply ignored.
Parameters:
attr The requested attribute value.
Returns:
The corresponding 12-bit RGB foreground value.

__extern void caca_attr_to_argb64 (uint32_tattr, uint8_targb[8]) Get the 64-bit colour and alpha values for a given attribute. The values are
written as 8-bit integers in the argb array in the following order:
o argb[0]: background alpha value

o argb[3]: background blue value
o argb[4]: foreground alpha value
o argb[5]: foreground red value
o argb[6]: foreground green value
