deno_tui Label-class

Hello. I just started testing around with deno_tui and found the DrawObject-Class. How do i actually use this class? Afaik there is no proper documentation to deno_tui at all and especially not for this class specifically.

DrawObject doesn't do that much by itself, it's used to create TextDrawObject and BoxDrawObject which then are used in components to render on the canvas. To build Tui you probably want to use components instead, if you want to create your own components and use them you can take a look at any of the components in src/components, keep in mind that I'm planning on replacing DrawObjects in the future, I have PR open to do it, will try to finish it as soon as I will have some spare time.

My problem is just, that i dont know, what i need to use for achieving my goal. Basically, i want to have blocks which consist of 16x16 pixel (16 rows, 32 columns) to display textures. The texture of each "block" has to be adjustable. Is there a component that does this?

there's a way to workaround this using styles, but that's not good DX at all, it seems like your usecase is actually in need of custom DrawObject I was planning on implementing ShapePainter in my PR which is essentially what you need, but I didn't even start working on it :/ @realdna it totally escaped my head 🤦‍♂️ you could just use Label component for that

essentially you could just convert the texture into a string and pass it to the label ~~my brain isn't braining~~

https://deno.land/x/tui@2.1.1/src/components/mod.ts you should check that for simple component descriptions textbox is a multiline text input :p

I just tried that method, but it doesnt seem to work properly for me This is my code:

new Label({
    parent: tui,
    rectangle: {
        column: 0,
        row: 0
    },
    text: textures.stone,
    theme: {
        base(text) {
            return text;
        },
    },
    zIndex: 1,
});

new Label({
    parent: tui,
    rectangle: {
        column: 0,
        row: 0
    },
    text: textures.stone,
    theme: {
        base(text) {
            return text;
        },
    },
    zIndex: 1,
});

When i manually print the text (textures.stone) reading it from the file:
