Graphics.Text.Width

Description

This module provides functions to measure the terminal column width of characters and strings.

The functions provided in this module all ultimately make calls to the C implementation in cbits/mk_wcwidth.c. That code manages some global state that carries a table of Unicode character widths. For more details, see Install, the C code, and the "Multi-Column Character Support" section of the project README.
