Interop with Spectre.Console

Can Terminaux and Spectre.Console be together?

If you are using Spectre.Console, you might notice that there are some features that are roughly similar to what Terminaux implements if we're talking about ideas and concepts. While Spectre.Console focuses on CLI, Terminaux focuses on both CLI and TUI. However, the graphical part of Spectre.Console, such as table rendering, is implemented differently in both libraries.

In a separate library, Terminaux.Spectre, you can perform translation operations.

Please note that, when installing this package, Spectre.Console is also installed as a dependency.

Translation

You can translate Terminaux's renderables into Spectre.Console's renderables, but you can't translate the other way around due to how Spectre.Console implements them. The following translation methods are supported:

Source	Direction	Target
Mark	Terminaux -> Spectre.Console	Markup
BoxFrame	Terminaux -> Spectre.Console	Panel
Table	Terminaux -> Spectre.Console	Table
BarChart	Terminaux -> Spectre.Console	BarChart
BreakdownChart	Terminaux -> Spectre.Console	BreakdownChart
Calendars	Terminaux -> Spectre.Console	Calendar
AlignedFigletText	Terminaux -> Spectre.Console	FigletText
Canvas	Terminaux -> Spectre.Console	Canvas
TextPath	Terminaux -> Spectre.Console	TextPath
TextAlignment	Terminaux -> Spectre.Console	Justify
Justify	Spectre.Console -> Terminaux	TextAlignment
Color	Terminaux -> Spectre.Console	Color
Color	Spectre.Console -> Terminaux	Color

You can't use Terminaux's writers to write the resulting Spectre's IRenderable. You'll have to use the AnsiConsole class.
