Simple Example

Here is the same program in both Java and Scala.

This program is provided so that you can see the basics of setting up a panel. It does make use of the € (Euro) character which may not display correctly if your font doesn't contain it. If this causes issues, simply delete the line containing it.

Sample program in Java

import java.awt.Font;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import squidpony.squidcolor.SColor;
import squidpony.squidgrid.gui.SGTextPanel;

/**
 * Short test of basic functionality of a SGTextPanel.
 *
 * @author Eben Howard - http://squidpony.com
 */
public class Test {
    /**
     * @param args
     */
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        SGTextPanel console = init_console();
        JFrame frame = new JFrame("Testing");
        frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
        frame.add(console);
        console.placeCharacter(12, 12, '€', SColor.AUBURN, SColor.ALIZARIN);
        console.placeCharacter(15, 20, (char) 0x2177);
        console.placeCharacter(59, 29, 'X', SColor.GREEN_YELLOW, SColor.DARK_SLATE_GRAY);
        console.placeCharacter(0, 0, 'X', SColor.GREEN_YELLOW, SColor.DARK_SLATE_GRAY);
        console.placeCharacter(59, 0, 'X', SColor.GREEN_YELLOW, SColor.DARK_SLATE_GRAY);
        console.placeCharacter(0, 29, 'X', SColor.GREEN_YELLOW, SColor.DARK_SLATE_GRAY);
        console.placeHorizontalString(4, 4, "Hello World!");
        console.refresh();
        frame.setVisible(true);
        frame.pack();
        frame.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
    }

    public static SGTextPanel init_console() {
        SGTextPanel console = new SGTextPanel();
        console.ensureFits(new char[]{0x2177}, false);
        console.initialize(15, 15, 60, 30, new Font("Arial Unicode MS", Font.PLAIN, 14));
        return console;
    }
}

Sample Program in Scala

package start;
import java.awt.Font
import javax.swing.JFrame
import squidpony.squidcolor.SColor
import squidpony.squidgrid.gui.SGTextPanel

object Start {
def main(args: Array[String]) {
val console = init_console(80, 50, Font.MONOSPACED, 12)
        val frame = new JFrame("Testing")
        frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE)
        frame.add(console)
        console.placeCharacter(49, 49, '€', SColor.AUBURN, SColor.ALIZARIN)
        console.placeCharacter(0,0,'X', SColor.GREEN_YELLOW, SColor.DARK_SLATE_GRAY)
        console.refresh()
        frame.setVisible(true)
        frame.pack()
        frame.setLocationRelativeTo(null)
}

def init_console(x: Int, y: Int, font: String, font_size: Int): SGTextPanel = {
        val console = new SGTextPanel()
        console.ensureFits(Array[Char](0x2177), false)
        console.initialize(font_size, font_size, x, y, new Font(font, Font.PLAIN, font_size))
        return console
    }
}
