Display Functions
A collection of functions for displaying or formatting information on the screen.
display
- display(value)
- This function will do it's best to show whatever you ask it (a number, string, table, function). This function can be useful for seeing what values does a table have, for example. Note that this doesn't handle recursive references and will loop infinitely at the moment (Mudlet 2.0-test4). If a value is a string, it'll be in single quotes, and if it's a number, it won't be quoted.
- Example
<lua> -- ask it to display a table display({a = "somevalue", 1,2,3}) -- or some other target display(target) </lua>
showColors
- showColors(columns)
- shows the named colors currently available in Mudlet's color table. These colors are stored in color_table, in table form. The format is color_table.colorName = {r,g,b}
- See Also: bg(), fg(), cecho()
- Parameters
- columns:
- Number of columns to print the color table in. Passed as an integer number.
- Example
<lua> showColors(4) </lua> The output for this is:
