Request: Add access to the Atlas and Tileset used by SDLConsoleRender

[kotrenn]

Ran into a case where I wanted to know the pixel dimensions of a font for a console renderer. Dug through the source and found I could get it through console_render._atlas.tileset where console_render is an instance of SDLConsoleRender. Was wondering if we could get more explicit support for access to these along with a note in the documentaiton.

The atlas dimensions are arbitrary since they're generated on-demand, but I can't really tell why you'd need them unless you wanted to access the tiles on the atlas directly. The tileset itself is accessible and tells you the size of a tile which is used for most cases I can think of. What's your example for why you need the atlas size?

The atlas dimensions were not my goal, but the size of individual tiles within the tileset as you suggested. My issue was that there is no console_render.tileset, and instead I went through the atlas with console_render._atlas.tileset.tile_width.

I wanted to be able to generate textures of strings that could later be used during rendering. I was trying to optimize by keeping one console around for rendering the string to rather than create a new console every time. I initialized this string console with a fixed width of 80. The tile_width / tile_height come in when I want to crop this to just the characters being printed (e.g. if rendering 'foo' then just return a texture of size 3 tile_width x tile_height rather than 80 tile_width x tile_height).

Sorry, I thought you were talking about the internals. I'll go ahead and make SDLConsoleRender._atlas a public attribute.

Thank you!
