, 6 years ago→What terminals have this capability?
Line 54:
Most of the solutions seem to be about local framebuffers or Windows text consoles, which are not "terminals".[[User:Kazinator|Kazinator]] ([[User talk:Kazinator|talk]]) 19:36, 19 June 2017 (UTC)
: I am actually not sure if any terminals have this capability. I have read about something analogous being a security with X windows. As a general rule, if you want to support this kind of thing you do it by owning the terminal and keeping complete track of everything you put there. You do need to know its size (and when it changes size) to make this work. You also need to know when something else has damaged the thing to know when you need to re-update it. (Which is basically what paint events are, in most modern gui environments.) --[[User:Rdm|Rdm]] ([[User talk:Rdm|talk]]) 19:51, 19 June 2017 (UTC)
