Is there any way to render charts without handing over the entire terminal? #375

I'm trying to add a few charts to my app, but still allow normal stdout/stderr logs to be shown. Is this possible?

Hi @anderspitman that currently isn't supported. Termdash is a library built on top of terminal driver libraries (tcell and termbox). I believe both of those only work with exclusivbe access to the full terminal. At least that is what used to be true, I did not explore the latest changes and feature set of tcell.

If you are interested in exploring this further, we would first have to figure out if tcell supports running on a portion of a terminal and then make the necessary changes in Termdash to utilize such mode.

That makes sense. Thanks!
