30                  C++ interface to ncurses routines
31-----------------------------------------------------------------------
32
33This directory contains the source code for several C++ classes which
34ease the use of writing ncurses-based programs.  The code was originally
35derived from the libg++ CursesWindow class, but rewritten for ncurses.
36
37The classes simplify the use of window specific functions by
38encapsulating them in the window object.  Function overloading is
39used in order to narrow the interface.  For example, you do not have the
40distinction between `printw' and `mvprintw' anymore.
41
42A second benefit is the removal of all #defines which are included in
43the curses.h file.  This is a steady cause of trouble because many
44common identifiers are used.  Instead now all #defines are inline
45functions, which also allows strict type checking of arguments.
46
47The next enhancement is color support. It was originally provided by a 
48derived class.  This caused some trouble if you think about Panels or
49Menus and Forms with colors.  We decided to put color support into the
50base class so that any derived class may use color support also.
51The implementation chosen here is directed to unrestricted use
52of mixes of color and monochrome windows.  The original NCursesColorWindow
53class is maintained for compatibility reasons.
54
55The last point to mention is the support of other packages that are
56distributed with the ncurses package:  the panels library, the menu library
57and the form library.  This support is provided by the NCursesPanel class,
58which is also derived from the NCursesWindow class and the NCursesMenu
59and NCursesForm classes which are derived from NCursesPanel.  This allows
60building interfaces with windows.
61
62Please see the example program for a quick introduction.
63
64Note that at this point, there is no documentation for these classes.
65Hopefully some will be written in the not too distant future.  For now,
66to find out how to use the classes, read the code and the example program.
67
68Suggestions for enhancements and contributions of code (and docs) are
69welcome.  Please let us know which functionality you miss.
