It also +includes greek and japanese characters to show non-ascii support. + +## `edit` + +Here we have an `EditView` to get input from the user, and use that input in +the next view. It shows how to identify a view with an ID and refer to it +later. + +## `mutation` + +This example modifies the content of an existing view. + +## `linear` + +This example uses a `LinearView` to put multiple views side-by-side. + +## `menubar` + +Here we learn how to create a menubar at the top of the screen, and populate +it with static and dynamic entried. + +## `logs` + +This example defines a custom view to display asynchronous input from a +channel. + +## `key_codes` + +This example uses a custom view to print any input received. Can be used as a +debugging tool to see what input the application is receiving. + +## `select` + +This example uses a `SelectView` to have the user pick a city from a long list. + +## `list_view` + +This shows a use of a `ListView`, used to build simple forms. + +## `text_area` + +This example uses a `TextArea`, where the user can input a block of text. + +## `theme` + +This loads a theme file at runtime to change default colors. + +## `theme_manual` + +Instead of loading a theme file, this manually sets various theme settings. + +## `terminal_default` + +This example shows the effect of the `Color::TerminalDefault` setting. + +## `colors` + +This example draws a colorful square to show off true color support. + +## `refcell_view` + +Here we show how to access multiple views concurently through their IDs. + +## `progress` + +This shows how to send information from an asynchronous task (like a download +or slow computation) to update a progress bar. + +## `radio` + +This shows how to use `RadioGroup` and `RadioButton`. + +## `slider` + +This is a demonstration of the `SliderView`.
