Open Source code for an eclipse compatible VTxxx style terminal emulator.
This is a work in progress but aims to provide an eclipse plugin that allows an application to create a VT52/100 etc view and interact with it.
Users should create a terminal class that extends the VTTerminal abstract class and implement any required methods. Interaction with the terminal would be performed via the users terminal class.
The terminal allows for the following:
- The embedded 'fonts' will scale as the view housing the terminal is resized
- The display of LED's as on a real VTxxx,
- A 'DataScope' which when activated will present a separate window that displays all data sent to and received from the terminal with any non-printable characters shown using codes e.g. 'CR' for carriage return. A SimpleDataScopeDialog class has been provided with this emulator. However, if something different is required then simply creating a class which implements the DataScope interface and then calling 'SetDatascope' on the terminal with the required datascope will activate it, setting a null DataScope will deactivate any prior DataScope. No DataScope is the default state for a Terminal instance.
- The fonts embedded in the emulator are not complete (and maybe not be correct) for all the VT control sets (currently a single font set is used). There are classes that will generate the code for creating the images used for each character, these can be found in the com.cyclone.terminal.emulator.font.vt100 package
- Not all escape sequencies have been implemented (just enough for our project(s) to get by). However, we have endeavoured to allow as much of the Vttest utility to run as we need.
Any Contributions, Fixes and/or Enhancements to this emulator are welcome.
