💖 Banner(3I) — one line title bar 💖

ok so this is the InterViews Reference Manual page for Banner, and bestie, it's literally just a one-line title bar. tiny. iconic. a little diva. let's get into it 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

Banner — one line title bar

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <InterViews/banner.h>

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so a banner is an interactor that draws a one line title bar. and it can have optional headings — a left-justified one, a centered one, and a right-justified one. you can have all three, you can have some, you can have none, it's your moment, your choice 💅

there's a member variable called highlight that you can set, and when you do, the drawing happens with the foreground and background colors reversed. yes, a whole aesthetic flip. main character energy fr fr ✨

now the sizing, listen up:

• the natural size of a banner depends on the size of its headings.
• banners are infinitely stretchable horizontally — she will go as wide as you need, no complaints 🌈
• but fixed size vertically — vertical is not up for discussion, that's locked in 🔒

👑 PUBLIC OPERATIONS 👑

Banner(char* left, char* middle, char* right)

the constructor, the moment of creation 💫 here's the vibe mapping:

• the left string → left-justified
• the middle string → centered
• the right string → right-justified

and if you don't want one of them? just pass a nil string and that header is simply omitted. no header, no problem, we move 🫶

void Update()

so the strings aren't frozen at construction — you can set them through the left, middle, and right member variables. but heads up: after you change one or more of those strings, you should call the Update operation. it's the "ok I changed my outfit, now look at me" step. don't skip it, bestie 😭
