```rust use rs3a;

Short API description

Structs

The core of the library is the Art type, which implements the 3a structure:
rust struct Art{ pub header: Header, pub body: Body, } Header type contains information about the header of 3a file:
rust struct Header{ width: u16, height: u16, delay: u16, loop_enable: bool, color_mod: ColorMod, utf8: bool, datacols: u16, preview: u16, audio: Option<String>, title: Option<String>, author: Option<String>, } Body type contains an array of frames, where each frame is an array of rows, and each row is an array of row fragments:
rust struct Body{ frames: Vec<Frame> } type Frame = Vec<Row>; type Row = Vec<RowFragment>; Each RowFragment is a set of consecutive symbols with the same values of foreground and background colors:
rust struct RowFragment{ text: String, fg_color: Option<Color>, bg_color: Option<Color>, }

Functions

load and save functions allow you to convert strings to Art and back.
load_file and save_file functions allow you to read 3a files to Art and write Art to 3a files.
