Name

libcaca-ruby-api - Libcaca Ruby API Theclasses available for libcaca are :

• Caca::Canvas : functions that have a caca_canvas_t* as first argument

• Caca::Dither : functions that have a caca_dither_t* as first argument

• Caca::Font : functions that have a caca_font_t* as first argument (The constructor can currently only accept the name of a builtin font)

• Caca::Display

• Caca::Event

• Caca::Event::Key

• Caca::Event::Key::Press

• Caca::Event::Key::Release

• Caca::Event::Mouse

• Caca::Event::Mouse::Press

• Caca::Event::Mouse::Release

• Caca::Event::Mouse::Motion

• Caca::Event::Resize

• Caca::Event::Quit

Thecharacter set conversion functions are not available yet in the binding.
