Cursor control
|
|
==============
|
|
Move to spesific coordinates
|
|
----------------------------
|
|
To move the terminal cursor using positional coordinates use the following function:
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
ansi_escape.cursor_position()
|
|
```
|
|
If the function name is to long you can use:
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
ansi_escape.cup()
|
|
```
|
|
instead.
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
ansi_escape.cup() #sets position to 1,1
|
|
ansi_escape.cursor_position(row=5) #sets cursor position to row 5 and column 1
|
|
ansi_escape.cup(column=16) #sets cursor position to column 16 and row 1
|
|
ansi_escape.cursor_position(row=30, column=3) #sets cursor position to row 30 and column 3
|
|
```
|
|
Move cursor from current position
|
|
---------------------------------
|
|
For relative movements use:
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
ansi_escape(direction, cells)
|
|
```
|
|
direction can be:
|
|
- "up"
|
|
- "down"
|
|
- "forward"
|
|
- "backward"
|
|
It is the direction the cursor moves towards.
|
|
|
|
cells is an optional argumant which specifies how many character cells you want to move the cursor.
|
|
|
|
Move cursor to spesific horisontal position
|
|
-------------------------------------------
|
|
Use:
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
ansi_escape.cursor_horisontal_absolute(column)
|
|
#or
|
|
ansi_escape.cha(column)
|
|
```
|
|
column can be omitted and will then default to 1.
|
|
This will not affect the vertical coordinates of the cursor. |
