RTile

RTile is a simple Rust lib module meant to help with code generation. It provides a way to work with rectangular areas of text as atomic units.

Inspired by a python module tiles, developed by Martin Sustrik.

How to use

```rust use rtile::*;

fn main() { kp!(maintileone, "Welcome to RTile! "); tp!(maintiletwo, " Have a great day! ");

kp!(main_combined_tiles, "@{main_tile_one}@{main_tile_two}");

// apply top bottom spacing,
kp!(
    combined_tiles_with_top_bottom_spacing,
    "@{main_top_bottom_spaces}\n@{main_combined_tiles}\n@{main_top_bottom_spaces}"
);
// apply left right unit spacing, now we have the main_result_tile
kp!(
        main_result_tile,
        "@{main_left_right_spaces}@{combined_tiles_with_top_bottom_spacing}@{main_left_right_spaces}"
    );

println!("{}", frame_tile(gtp!(main_result_tile).unwrap(), 5, 2));

}

fn setspacing(widthspacing: usize, heightspacing: usize) { //set the spacing if required - maintain unit spacing, that is sufficient to create the frame let leftrightspaces = vec![" "; widthspacing]; kp!(mainleftrightspaces, vec![leftrightspaces.join(""); 1]); let topbottomspaces = vec![" "; 1]; kp!( maintopbottomspaces, vec![topbottomspaces.join(""); height_spacing] ); }

fn frametile(input: RTile, widthspacing: usize, heightspacing: usize) -> RTile { setspacing(widthspacing, heightspacing); if heightspacing > 0 { // apply top bottom spacing, kp!( combinedtileswithtopbottomspacing, "@{maintopbottomspaces}\n@{maincombinedtiles}\n@{maintopbottomspaces}" ); } else { // remove the top bottom spacing, tp!( combinedtileswithtopbottomspacing, "@{maintopbottomspaces}\n@{maincombinedtiles}\n@{maintopbottom_spaces}" ); }

let (width, height) = kp!(frame_tile, input).dimensions();

tp!(main_height, vec!["|"; height]);
tp!(main_width, vec!["="; width + 2].join(""));

t!(r#"
            @{main_width}
            @{main_height}@{frame_tile}@{main_height}
            @{main_width}
    "#)

}

```
