A new text array on success, or null on failure.

text_array_delete()

void text_array_delete

(

struct text_array *

t

)

int text_array_width

(

struct text_array *

t

)

Get the width of the array.

Parameters

t	A text array.

Returns

The width of the array.

text_array_height()

int text_array_height

(

struct text_array *

t

)

Get the height of the array.

Parameters

t	A text array.

Returns

The height of the array.

text_array_get()

const char* text_array_get	(	struct text_array *	t,
		int	x,
		int	y
