<p>SUBJECT: Locator Input Model for ANSI Terminals (sixth revision) |
||||
<p>This memo defines support for locator input devices on ANSI text |
||||
and graphics terminals. The goal is to make terminals able to |
||||
support the same class of applications popular on PCs and Workstations. |
||||
This is not meant to imply terminals must be compatible with |
||||
workstations, some limitations are unavoidable. The intent is |
||||
to provide a minimal set of locator functions which make sense |
||||
for terminals. Comments are welcome. |
||||
<p><b><a name="Overview">Overview</a></b> |
||||
<p>The terminal is supplied with a locator port which can be used |
||||
to connect an optional <i>mouse</i> or tablet. When locator reporting |
||||
is enabled, a seperate input cursor appears, and the terminal |
||||
tracks the locator locally with no host intervention. Individual |
||||
locator events such as locator button transitions or movement |
||||
may be programmed to send locator reports to the host. |
||||
<p>Each locator report includes the specific event which initiated |
||||
the report, the current state of the locator keys, and the coordinates |
||||
of the input cursor at the time of the event. |
||||
<p>The locator is treated as a manual input device similar to a keyboard. |
||||
Locater events are queued in the keyboard input silo along with |
||||
keystrokes. |
||||
<p><b><a name="LOCATOR_INPUT_MODEL">LOCATOR INPUT MODEL</a></b> |
||||
<p><i><a name="Enabling_Locator_Reporting"></a>Enabling Locator Reporting</i> |
||||
<p>Locator reporting can be selectively enabled from the host using |
||||
a DEC private control sequence. When disabled (the power up default), |
||||
the locator cursor does not appear, and the locator buttons are |
||||
inactive. When enabled, the locator cursor is visible, and the |
||||
terminal tracks the locator locally with no host intervention. |
||||
Individual locator events such as locator button transitions |
||||
or movement may be programmed to send locator reports to the host. |
||||
<p>DECELR - DEC Enable Locator Reports |
||||
<p>CSI Ps ; Pu ' z |
||||
<p> 2/7 7/10 |
||||
<p>Ps may assume the following values |
||||
<p> 0 locator disabled (default) |
||||
<p> 1 locator reports enabled |
||||
<p> 2 one shot (allow one report, then disable) |
||||
<p>Pu specifies the coordinate units for locator reports |
||||
<p> 0 (or omitted) default to character cells |
||||
<p> 1 device physical pixels |
||||
<p> 2 character cells |
||||
<p>One shot mode is provided for applications that desire simple |
||||
graphics input similar to Tektronix GIN mode (no unsolicited reports). |
||||
If parameter value 2 is selected, the next trigger event that |
||||
occurs will generate a single locator report. No further locator |
||||
reports will occur (the locator will be disabled), until another |
||||
DECELR sequence is received. |
||||
<p>The coordinate units for locator position reports may be selected |
||||
to either of two coordinate systems used by terminal software |
||||
at the lowest level. Physical pixels is the "least common |
||||
denominator", and is useful for computing sixel positions. |
||||
<p><i><a name="Locator_Position_Reporting">Locator Position Reporting</a></i> |
||||
<p>When a selected trigger event occurs such as a button press or |
||||
release, the terminal transmits a locator position report as follows. |
||||
<p> DECLRP - DEC Locator Report |
||||
<p> CSI Pe ; Pb ; Pr ; Pc ; Pp & w |
||||
<p> 2/6 7/7 |
||||
<p> Pe is the event code |
||||
<p> Pb is the button code |
||||
<p> Pr is the row coordinate |
||||
<p> Pc is the column coordinate |
||||
<p> Pp is the third coordinate (page number) |
||||
<p>Pe, the event code indicates what event caused this |
||||
report to be generated. The following event codes are defined: |
||||
<p> 0 - request, the terminal received an explicit request |
||||
<p> for a locator report, but the locator is unavailable |
||||
<p> 1 - request, the terminal received an explicit |
||||
<p> request for a locator report |
||||
<p> 2 - left button down |
||||
<p> 3 - left button up |
||||
<p> 4 - middle button down |
||||
<p> 5 - middle button up |
||||
<p> 6 - right button down |
||||
<p> 7 - right button up |
||||
<p> 8 - fourth button down |
||||
<p> 9 - fourth button up |
||||
<p> 10 - locator outside filter rectangle |
||||
<p>Pb is the button code, ASCII decimal 0-15 indicating which buttons |
||||
are down if any. The state of the four buttons on the locator |
||||
correspond to the low four bits of the decimal value, "1" |
||||
means button depressed |
||||
<p> 0 - no buttons down |
||||
<p> 1 - right |
||||
<p> 2 - middle |
||||
<p> 4 - left |
||||
<p> 8 - fourth |
||||
<p>Pr is the row coordinate of the locator position in the page, |
||||
encoded as an ASCII decimal value. If Pr is omitted, the locator |
||||
position is undefined (outside the terminal window for example). |
||||
<p>Pc is the column coordinate of the locator position in the page, |
||||
encoded as an ASCII decimal value. If Pc is omitted, the locator |
||||
position is undefined (outside the terminal window for example). |
||||
<p>Pp is the page coordinate of the locator position encoded as an |
||||
ASCII decimal value. The page coordinate may be omitted if the |
||||
locator is on page one (the default). |
||||
<p>Each locator report includes both the specific transition which |
||||
caused this event, and the current button state. This allows |
||||
software to determine what event just occured and which buttons |
||||
are down without keeping track of previous events or button state. |
||||
In a multiprocess shared locator environment, an application |
||||
may not know the previous button state. This dual reporting also |
||||
allows applications to recover from lost locator reports. |
||||
<p>Each locator event generates a single report. In the rare situation |
||||
where two events occur simultaneously (within a single sampling |
||||
period), the terminal will report this as two separate events. |
||||
The order of reporting shall be by increasing event code number |
||||
(left button first). |
||||
<p>Locator events are queued in the keyboard input silo just like |
||||
keystrokes. Each locator event occupies one position in the silo |
||||
(the keyboard silo currently must have at least 9 positions). |
||||
If the input silo becomes full, the locator and keyboard are |
||||
locked until there is again room in the silo. The sequential |
||||
order of keystroke and locator events is strictly maintained. |
||||
<p>It is the responsibility of the host to accept data fast enough |
||||
to avoid locking the locator unintentionally. The limited buffering |
||||
inside the terminal gives the host a little more time to process |
||||
locator events smoothly. |
||||
<p>When the keyboard is locked, the "wait" indicator on |
||||
the keyboard turns on. The keyboard is automatically locked any |
||||
time the keyboard input silo is full. The keyboard can be locked |
||||
explicitly using the keyboard action mode (KAM) control function. |
||||
<p>When the locator is locked, the terminal continues to track the |
||||
locator, but the input cursor changes shape to appear as a wristwatch |
||||
(or other shape indicating to wait). The wristwatch cursor indicates |
||||
that locator button transitions will be ignored, but allows the |
||||
user to continue positioning in anticipation of the locator being |
||||
unlocked. The locator is automatically locked any time the input |
||||
silo is full. |
||||
<p>Locator-ahead, analogous to keyboard type-ahead is supported by |
||||
having each report include the locator position at the time of |
||||
the event, and maintaining the sequential order of keystroke and |
||||
locator events. |
||||
<p>A final implication of using the keyboard silo to buffer text |
||||
locator events is that locator and keyboard input should be associated |
||||
with the same session at all times. The session to receive these |
||||
events is sometimes called the "active session" or "input |
||||
focus". In a multi-session windowing environment, the input |
||||
cursor is allowed to roam freely over the entire screen in response |
||||
to locator movement. The input cursor is never occluded when |
||||
locator reporting is enabled in one or more sessions. Each session |
||||
enables locator reporting independently. The following cases |
||||
describe the locator interaction with session viewports and scroll |
||||
regions. |
||||
<p>1. The input cursor is within the active session's viewport. |
||||
Pressing a button on the locator sends a locator report when enabled. |
||||
<p>2. The input cursor is inside the active session's viewport, |
||||
but outside the range of defined coordinates for that session. |
||||
Pressing a button on the locator will generate a report with omitted |
||||
coordinates (position undefined). An example would be when the |
||||
input cursor is outside the active scrolling region, and the origin |
||||
mode has been set to relative. To use the locator to adjust scroll |
||||
margins, the origin mode must be absolute. |
||||
<p>3. The input cursor is not contained in any viewport. Pressing |
||||
a button on the locator will have no effect. To support "pop |
||||
up" menus anywhere on the screen, the entire screen must |
||||
be a viewport for at least one session. |
||||
<p>4. The input cursor is within a viewport of a session which is |
||||
not the active session. Pressing a button on the locator will |
||||
normally make the session containing the input cursor the active |
||||
session (possibly changing the occlusion order of viewports, and |
||||
the shape of the locator). This case is the responsibility of |
||||
the "window manager" which is free to define its own |
||||
user interface. Two recommendations are: (1) No locator report |
||||
should be sent to the previous active session, since the locator |
||||
is not in its viewport; and (2) If locator reporting is enabled |
||||
in the new session, a locator report should not be transmitted |
||||
to avoid application side affects when selecting another window. |
||||
<p>Requesting A Locator Position Report |
||||
<p>The host may explicitly request a locator position report any |
||||
time locator reporting is enabled (DECELR). Upon receiving such |
||||
a request, the terminal will immediately send a single locator |
||||
report (DECLRP) with event code 1 indicating the current locator |
||||
position. |
||||
<p>If the session receiving the request is the active session, but |
||||
the locator is not within the defined coordinate range for that |
||||
session, the terminal will respond with omitted coordinates (locator |
||||
position undefined). |
||||
<p>If the session receiving the request is not currently active (the |
||||
locator is being used in another session), the report will specify |
||||
event code 0 (locator unavailable). Locator state from the active |
||||
session should not be made available to inactive sessions. |
||||
<p>If the locator is disabled (DECELR), the terminal should still |
||||
respond with event code 0 (to avoid timing out the application). |

<p>Ps: |

<p> 0 (or omitted) default to 1 |

<p> 1 transmit a single DECLRP locator report all |

||||
<p>Filter Rectangles |

<p>Filter Rectangles add filtered movement events to the list of |
||||
locator transitions that can generate reports. |

<p> Pt - Top boundary of filter rectangle |
||||
<p> Pl - Left boundary of filter rectangle |
||||
<p> Pb - Bottom boundary of filter rectangle |
||||
<p> Pr - Right boundary of filter rectangle |
||||
<p>The DECEFR control sequence defines the coordinates of a filter |
||||
rectangle, and activates it. Anytime the locator is detected |
||||
to be outside a filter rectangle, an outside rectangle event is |
||||
generated and the rectangle is disabled. Filter rectangles are |
||||
always treated as "one-shot" events. Defining a new |
||||
rectangle re-activates it. |
||||
<p>Applications can re-define the rectangle at any time even if its |
||||
already active. If a rectangle which does not contain the locator |
||||
is specified, the terminal will generate an outside rectangle |
||||
report immediately and deactivate it. |
||||
<p>Pt, Pl, Pb, and Pr are in coordinates units specified by the last |
||||
DECELR sequence. The filter rectangle includes the boundaries |
||||
(similar to other rectangular area operations). The origin is |
||||
coordinate pair 1:1 in the upper left corner. If any parameters |
||||
are omitted, they are defaulted to the current locator position. |
||||
Sending DECEFR with no parameters will cause the application to |
||||
be notified for any locator movement ("unfiltered movement |
||||
event"). |
||||
<p>DECELR always cancels any previous filter rectangle definition. |
||||
This gaurantees that when an application enables locator reports, |
||||
there will never be an outstanding filter rectangle. |
||||
<p>If a filter rectangle lies on the edge of the defined coordinate |
||||
space for the active session, and the locator crosses that edge, |
||||
the rectangle may be triggered to send a report with omitted coordinates |
||||
(locator position undefined). |
||||
<p>If the active session receives a filter rectangle with explicit |
||||
coordinates while the locator is outside the defined coordinate |
||||
space, the rectangle will be triggered to send a report with omitted |
||||
coordinates. |
||||
<p>If the active session receives a filter rectangle with omitted |
||||
coordinates (that is, use the current position) while the locator |
||||
is outside the defined coordinate space (position undefined), |
||||
the rectangle will be triggered the next time the locator is within |
||||
the defined coordinate space. |
||||
<p>If a session which is not the active session receives a filter |
||||
rectangle with explicit coordinates, it should trigger immediately |
||||
with position undefined. If a session which is not the active |
||||
session receives a rectangle with omitted coordinates, it should |
||||
trigger the next time the locator is within the defined coordinate |
||||
space for that session, which cannot happen until the session |
||||
becomes active. |
||||
<p><i><a name="Selecting_Locator_Events">Selecting Locator Events</a></i> |
||||
<p>The locator events which are allowed to generate unsolicited reports |
||||
may be individually selected using the Select Locator Events control. |
||||
The locator is capable of reporting both up and down transitions |
||||
for those situations where the exact sequence of button activiations |
||||
is significant. This control allows application software to select |
||||
which events it wants reported. |

GRAPHICS</a></b> |
||||
<p>The locator can be used in REGIS, and in Tektronix GIN mode during |
||||
Tektronix 401x emulation. |
||||
<p>REGIS One-shot Graphics Input Mode is provided for backward compatibility |
||||
with the VT240. When an application requests graphics input, |
||||
a cross hair cursor appears which may be positioned using either |
||||
the arrow keys (as on the VT240), or a locator device. Pressing |
||||
any non-arrow key on the keyboard which is not dead or a button |
||||
on the locator will cause the following actions: |
||||
<p>1. The ASCII code or codes for the non-arrow key that was pressed |
||||
is sent to the host. Each locator button can be programmed to |
||||
send a sequence of 0 to 6 characters. This allows the locator |
||||
to be programmed to work with existing applications (see DECLKD |
||||
below). |
||||
<p>2. The coordinates of the input cursor at the time that the non-arrow |
||||
key was depressed are sent to the host, expressed as an absolute |
||||
bracketed extent in user coordinates. |
||||
<p>3. The graphics input cursor disappears from the screen and the |
||||
terminal exits graphics input mode. |
||||
<p>While the terminal is in graphics input mode, no further data |
||||
from the application is processed until the locator input is complete |
||||
and a report is generated. |
||||
<p>The mouse and arrow keys may be intermixed freely in REGIS One-Shot |
||||
Graphics Input Mode. Since the tablet is an absolute positioning |
||||
device, use of the arrow keys in combination with the tablet would |
||||
cause inconsistent and confusing behavior. The arrow keys are |
||||
disabled for input cursor positioning when the tablet is in proximity |
||||
because the tablet establishes a unique screen position. |
||||
<p><i><a name="Locator_Key_Definition">Locator Key Definition</a> |

(DECLKD)</i> |
||||
<p>The DECLKD device control string down line loads one or more definitions |
||||
for use by the Locator device during REGIS One-shot Graphics Input. |
||||
These definitions are called Locator Key Definitions (LKDs). |
||||
<p>DECLKD is intended for older applications that use ReGIS one-shot |
||||
input mode with keystroke commands like "A", "B", |
||||
"C", etc. These commands can be re-bound to buttons |
||||
on the mouse by sending DECLKD (possibly before running the application). |
||||
<p>There are six bytes available to each of the locator keys (upto |
||||
four). A power-up restart or RIS will cause the LKDs to be set |
||||
to their default value. LKDs are not affected by DECSTR. |

<p>Kyn is a single ASCII digit, and Std/Stu is a series of ASCII |
||||
hex pairs. If Std or Stu is omitted, the corresponding button |
||||
string will be empty. Key definition strings are delimited with |
||||
a semicolon (";"). |
||||
<p>Graphics and ANSI Locator Input |
||||
<p>Support for graphics input in REGIS is extended by allowing ANSI |
||||
locator input to operate normally regardless of whether the host |
||||
output stream is being interpreted as ANSI or REGIS. If ANSI |
||||
locator reporting is enabled, keystrokes and locator position |
||||
reports may be generated without being solicited from the host. |
||||
Characters received from the host are executed instead of buffered, |
||||
so graphics output and graphics input may occur simultaneously. |
||||
<p>If one-shot graphics input mode is entered (REGIS report position |
||||
interactive) while ANSI locator reporting is enabled, the locator |
||||
cursor will change to a cross-hair. Pressing a non-arrow key |
||||
on the keyboard will send the character for that key followed |
||||
by the REGIS user coordinates as a bracketed extent. If a locator |
||||
button had been pressed instead, the characters for the locator |
||||
button (if any) would be sent followed by the REGIS position report, |
||||
and finally the ANSI locator report (DECLRP) if enabled. Upon |
||||
sending the REGIS position report, the terminal exits one-shot |
||||
input mode, and the input cursor returns to its previous state. |
||||
<p>The ANSI locator report should still be sent in the above situation |
||||
(if enabled) to keep the two modes independent. This allows filter |
||||
rectangles to continue operating, and also keeps the ANSI state |
||||
(last DECLRP seen) consistent with the last button transition. |
||||
<p>The order of reports is chosen to allow a subroutine to send |
||||
R(P(I)) and read the REGIS response that follows without regard |
||||
to whether ANSI locator reports are enabled. |
||||
<p>Since the ANSI locator report is in the form of a control sequence, |
||||
it should not inferfere with REGIS reports. No special procedure |
||||
is used to indicate REGIS data from the terminal. This is backward |
||||
compatible with the VT240 since ANSI locator reports can only |
||||
occur if ANSI locator reporting is enabled. |
||||
<p>The suspension of graphics output during REGIS one-shot graphics |
||||
input remains the same. This is necessary to support rubber-band |
||||
cursors. Rubber-band cursors use the REGIS output position as |
||||
one reference point, and the locator input position as the other. |
||||
Rubber-band cursors are specified as an option on the REGIS report |
||||
position interactive command. |

<p><b><a name="LOCATOR_DEVICE_SUPPORT">LOCATOR DEVICE SUPPORT</a></b> |

<p>Locator support is currently planned as an extension to the level |

3 character cell architecture. The primary device attributes |

response will report the locator extension as parameter value |
||||
15 (locator port), and 29 (text locator). |
||||
<p>Host software may request a Device Status Report (DSR) to determine |
||||
whether a locator is available. Upon receiving the appropriate |

DSR request, the terminal will respond to indicate the locator |
||||
is ready if a locator device is plugged in, and has transmitted |

a successful self test message. |

<p>Locator busy CSI ? 58 n |
||||
<p>The locator busy response can occur when an alternate session |
||||
has selected locator controller mode (see below). |
||||
<p><i><a name="Locator_Controller_Mode"></a>Locator Controller Mode</i> |
||||
<p>Locator Controller Mode allows the host to communicate directly |
||||
with the locator device without terminal intervention (similar |
||||
to printer controller mode). When locator controller mode is |
||||
set, all data received at the host port is transferred directly |
||||
to the locator port without interpretation by the display terminal. |
||||
<p>The only exceptions are the communications control characters |
||||
XON/XOFF (if enabled), and the control sequence to disabled locator |
||||
controller mode. All characters received at locator port are |
||||
transferred to the host port without interpretation. The host |
||||
assumes full responsibility for the locator device. |
||||
<p>Locator controller mode is desirable for two reasons: |
||||
<p>1. It allows the host to explicitly initialize or configure locator |
||||
devices. A foriegn locator device might not wake up in DEC format |
||||
for example. |
||||
<p>2. It allows the locator port to be used for other auxilliary |
||||
input devices. A bar code reader could be interfaced to the locator |
||||
port for example, allowing the terminal to support a bar code |
||||
reader without pre-empting the printer port. |

<h1 align="center">VT100 escape codes</h1> |
||||
|
||||
<p>This document describes how to control a VT100 terminal. The |
||||
entries are of the form "name, description, escape code".</p> |
||||
|
||||
<p>The name isn't important, and the description is just to |
||||
help you find what you're looking for. What you have to do is |
||||
send the "escape code" to the screen. These codes are often |
||||
several characters long, but they all begin with <tt>^[</tt>. |
||||
This isn't the two characters <tt>^</tt> and <tt>[</tt>, but |
||||
rather a representation of the ASCII code ESC (which is why |
||||
these are called escape codes).</p> |
||||
|
||||
<p>ESC has the decimal value 27 and should be sent before the rest of the code, which is simply an ASCII string.</p> |
||||
|
||||
<p>As an example of how to use this information, here's how |
||||
to clear the screen in C, using the VT100 escape codes:</p> |
||||
|
||||
<pre> #define ASCII_ESC 27 |
||||
printf( "%c[2J", ASCII_ESC ); |
||||
|
||||
<i>or</i> |
||||
|
||||
puts( "\033[2J" ); |

<h1>VT100 emulation resources collection</h1> |
||||
|
||||
<p>This page lists some files and sites I found helpful when developing <a href="https://github.com/MightyPork/ESPTerm">ESPTerm</a>.</p> |
||||
|
||||
<h2>Web references</h2> |
||||
|
||||
<ul> |
||||
<li>An invaluable resource in my research was the website <a href="http://vt100.net/">vt100.net</a> which provides |
||||
original manuals for manu VT models.</li> |
||||
|
||||
<li>The <a href="http://invisible-island.net/xterm/ctlseqs/ctlseqs.html">Xterm manual page</a> also proved immensely useful. |
||||
I have even made a <a href="espterm-xterm.html">copy of it</a> with highlighted differences and missing features |
||||
in ESPTerm.</li> |
||||
|
||||
<li>Some sequences can also be found in the <a href="https://www.gnu.org/software/screen/manual/html_node/Control-Sequences.html">GNU Screen manual page</a></li> |
||||
|
||||
<li>Application keys mode became clear after reading this page: |
||||
<a href="http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Keyboard-and-Console-HOWTO-21.html">www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Keyboard-and-Console-HOWTO-21.html</a>.</li> |
||||
|
||||
<li>When trying to understand what codes should be sent by function and control |
||||
keys, this page provided some great insight: |
||||
<a href="http://invisible-island.net/xterm/xterm-function-keys.html">invisible-island.net/xterm/xterm-function-keys.html</a></li> |
||||
</ul> |

|

<h2>Collected files and memos</h2> |

and preserve them here for reference should the original sources disappear.</p> |
