cd_winconsole(3)

💖 cd_winconsole 💖

okay so bestie, we're in the gstream manual, section 3, and this one is called cd_winconsole. she's a lil cursor-drawing diva and honestly? she ate. 🎀

---

✨ NAME ✨

cd_winconsole — the girl who draws you a cursor that's half Windows, half console, and fully iconic 💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <gstream.h>

void cd_winconsole(BITMAP *bmp, int x, int y, int w, int h, int clr,
bool ins);

like. that's the whole signature. seven args, no notes. 🫶

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so here's the vibe: this function draws a mixture of a win cursor and a console cursor. two cursor aesthetics, one function, main character energy fr fr. 😭✨

and the way it works is:

• when it's the insert cursor, it looks like a win cursor — that's a vertical line, literally | 👑
• when it's the overwrite cursor, it's giving console overwrite cursor — it covers the letter, no cap 💀

so yeah, one function, two moods, depending on that bool ins.

now, the preferred dimensions for this cursor — and bestie, important, you have to set them manually, she will not do it for you 🙈 — are:

(1, gbuf::DYNAMIC_CURSOR_SIZE, gbuf::DYNAMIC_CURSOR_SIZE,
gbuf::DYNAMIC_CURSOR_SIZE)

but lowkey? the first argument can be bigger if you want a broader cursor. so go off, make her wide, she'll slay either way. 🔥

ngl the "set them manually" part is not a suggestion, it's a requirement. the function is not gonna guess your dimensions for you, bestie. do your part. 💖
