# Library for creating terminal applications with text-based widgets

FINAL CUT is a C++ class library and widget toolkit with full [mouse](doc/mouse-control.md#title-bar-actions-on-mouse-clicks) support for creating a [text-based user interface](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Text-based_user_interface). The library supports the programmer to develop an application for the text console. It allows the simultaneous handling of multiple text windows on the screen.

The structure of the Qt framework was originally the inspiration for the C++ class design of FINAL CUT. It provides common controls like dialog boxes, push buttons, check boxes, radio buttons, input lines, list boxes, status bars and so on.

## Frequently Asked Questions

For general questions about FINAL CUT, likely the answer is already included in the [FAQ](doc/faq.md#frequently-asked-questions).

## Screenshots

## Benchmark

Here you can find a test for [measuring the character speed](doc/benchmark.md#benchmark) in the terminal.

## Virtual terminal

FINAL CUT uses a virtual terminal to print character via an update method on the screen. It provides (as an overlying layer) virtual windows for the realization of window movements. The update methods only transfer differences to the virtual terminal or physical screen.
