  69 <H2>DESCRIPTION</H2><PRE>
  70        The <STRONG>add_wch</STRONG>, <STRONG>wadd_wch</STRONG>, <STRONG>mvadd_wch</STRONG>, and <STRONG>mvwadd_wch</STRONG> functions
  71        put the complex character <EM>wch</EM> into the given window at its
  72        current position, which is then advanced.  These functions
  73        perform  wrapping and special-character processing as fol-
  74        lows:
  75
  76        <STRONG>o</STRONG>   If <EM>wch</EM> refers to a spacing character, then any  previ-
  77            ous  character  at  that  location  is removed.  A new
  78            character specified by <EM>wch</EM> is placed at that  location
  79            with  rendition  specified  by  <EM>wch</EM>.   The cursor then
  80            advances to the next spacing character on the  screen.
  81
  82        <STRONG>o</STRONG>   If <EM>wch</EM> refers to a non-spacing character, all previous
  83            characters at that location are preserved.   The  non-
  84            spacing  characters  of  <EM>wch</EM>  are added to the spacing
  85            complex character, and the rendition specified by  <EM>wch</EM>
  86            is ignored.
  87
  88        <STRONG>o</STRONG>   If  the  character  part  of  <EM>wch</EM>  is  a tab, newline,
  89            backspace or other control character,  the  window  is
  90            updated  and the cursor moves as if <STRONG>addch</STRONG> were called.
  91
  92        The <STRONG>echo_wchar</STRONG> function is functionally  equivalent  to  a
  93        call to <STRONG>add_wch</STRONG> followed by a call to <STRONG>refresh</STRONG>.  Similarly,
  94        the <STRONG>wecho_wchar</STRONG> is functionally equivalent to  a  call  to
  95        <STRONG>wadd_wch</STRONG>  followed  by  a call to <STRONG>wrefresh</STRONG>.  The knowledge
  96        that only a single character is being output is taken into
  97        consideration and, for non-control characters, a consider-
  98        able performance gain might be seen by  using  the  *<STRONG>echo</STRONG>*
  99        functions instead of their equivalents.
 100
 101    <STRONG>Line</STRONG> <STRONG>Graphics</STRONG>
 102        Like  <STRONG><A HREF="addch.3x.html">addch(3x)</A></STRONG>,  <STRONG>addch_wch</STRONG>  accepts symbols which make it
 103        simple to draw lines and  other  frequently  used  special
 104        characters.   These  symbols  correspond to the same VT100
 105        line-drawing set as <STRONG><A HREF="addch.3x.html">addch(3x)</A></STRONG>.

 185 <H2>NOTES</H2><PRE>
 186        Note that <STRONG>add_wch</STRONG>, <STRONG>mvadd_wch</STRONG>, <STRONG>mvwadd_wch</STRONG>,  and  <STRONG>echo_wchar</STRONG>
 187        may be macros.

 190 </PRE>
 191 <H2>PORTABILITY</H2><PRE>
 192        All  of  these  functions  are described in the XSI Curses
 193        standard, Issue 4.  The defaults specified for  line-draw-
 194        ing characters apply in the POSIX locale.
 195
 196        X/Open Curses makes it clear that the WACS_ symbols should
 197        be defined as a pointer to <STRONG>cchar_t</STRONG> data, e.g., in the dis-
 198        cussion of <STRONG>border_set</STRONG>.  A few implementations are problem-
 199        atic:
 200
 201        <STRONG>o</STRONG>   NetBSD curses defines the symbols as a <STRONG>wchar_t</STRONG>  within
 202            a <STRONG>cchar_t</STRONG>.
 203
 204        <STRONG>o</STRONG>   HPUX  curses  equates  some of the <EM>ACS</EM><STRONG>_</STRONG> symbols to the
 205            analogous <EM>WACS</EM><STRONG>_</STRONG> symbols as if the  <EM>ACS</EM><STRONG>_</STRONG>  symbols  were
 206            wide  characters.   The  misdefined  symbols  are  the
 207            arrows and other symbols which are not used for  line-
 208            drawing.
 209
 210        X/Open  Curses  does not define symbols for thick- or dou-
 211        ble-lines.   SVr4  curses  implementations  defined  their
 212        line-drawing  symbols  in  terms  of intermediate symbols.
 213        This implementation extends those symbols,  providing  new
 214        definitions which are not in the SVr4 implementations.
