CGAL::IO::Basic_color_streambuf< CharT, Traits > Class Template Reference

#include <CGAL/IO/Color_ostream.h>

Definition

template<typename CharT, typename Traits = std::char_traits<CharT>>
class CGAL::IO::Basic_color_streambuf< CharT, Traits >

The class template Basic_color_streambuf wraps another basic_streambuf and automatically adds ANSI color codes to the output.

This is useful for colorizing terminal output with consistent color schemes.

Template Parameters

CharT	Character type (typically char or wchar_t)
Traits	Character traits type

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

Basic_color_streambuf()

template<typename CharT, typename Traits = std::char_traits<CharT>>

template<typename ... AnsiColors>

CGAL::IO::Basic_color_streambuf< CharT, Traits >::Basic_color_streambuf ( streambuf_type & wrapped_buf, AnsiColors... colors )

explicit

constructs a color streambuf wrapper with one or more colors.

Colors are automatically disabled if the wrapped buffer is not connected to a color-capable terminal (checked via isatty() and TERM variable), or if the NO_COLOR environment variable is set and non-empty.

Template Parameters

AnsiColors

Variadic list of Ansi_color values

Parameters

wrapped_buf	The underlying streambuf to wrap
colors	One or more colors to combine (e.g., Ansi_color::Bold, Ansi_color::Red)
