notcurses_stdplane(3)					 notcurses_stdplane(3)

NAME
       notcurses_stdplane - acquire the	standard ncplane

   SYNOPSIS
       #include	<notcurses/notcurses.h>

       struct ncplane* notcurses_stdplane(struct notcurses* nc);

       const  struct ncplane* notcurses_stdplane_const(const struct notcurses*
       nc);

       static inline struct ncplane* notcurses_stddim_yx(struct	notcurses* nc,
       unsigned* restrict y, unsigned* restrict	x);

       static inline  const  struct  ncplane*  notcurses_stddim_yx_const(const
       struct notcurses* nc, unsigned* restrict	y, unsigned* restrict x);

       int notcurses_enter_alternate_screen(struct notcurses* nc);

       int notcurses_leave_alternate_screen(struct notcurses* nc);

DESCRIPTION
       notcurses_stdplane  returns  a  handle  to the standard ncplane for the
       context nc.  The	standard plane always exists, and is always  the  same
       size  as	 the  screen.	It is an error to call ncplane_destroy(3), nc-
       plane_resize(3),	or ncplane_move(3) on the standard plane, but  it  can
       be freely moved along the z-axis.

       The  standard  plane's  virtual cursor is initialized to	its uppermost,
       leftmost	 cell  unless  NCOPTION_PRESERVE_CURSOR	  is   provided	  (see
       notcurses_init(3)),  in which case it is	placed wherever	the terminal's
       real cursor was at startup.

       notcurses_stddim_yx provides the	same function, but also	writes the di-
       mensions	of the standard	plane (and thus	the real drawable  area)  into
       any non-NULL parameters among y and x.

       notcurses_stdplane_const	allows a const notcurses to be safely used.

       A  resize event does not	invalidate these references.  They can be used
       until notcurses_stop(3) is called on the	associated nc.

       notcurses_enter_alternate_screen	 and  notcurses_leave_alternate_screen
       only have meaning if the	terminal implements the	"alternate screen" via
       the  smcup  and	rmcup  terminfo(5) capabilities	(see the discussion of
       NCOPTION_NO_ALTERNATE_SCREEN in notcurses_init(3)).  If	not  currently
       using the alternate screen, and assuming	it is supported, notcurses_en-
       ter_alternate_screen will switch	to the alternate screen.  This redraws
       the  contents, repositions the cursor, and usually makes	scrollback un-
       available.  The standard	plane will have	scrolling disabled upon	a move
       to the alternate	plane.

RETURN VALUES
       notcurses_enter_alternate_screen	will return -1 if the alternate	screen
       is unavailable.	Both it	and notcurses_leave_alternate_screen will  re-
       turn -1 on an I/O failure.

       Other  functions	 cannot	 fail  when provided a valid struct notcurses.
       They will always	return a valid pointer to the standard plane.
