Instead of pixels though, a Screen holds two text character surfaces (front and back) which corresponds to each "cell" in the terminal. You can freely modify the back "buffer" and you can read from the front "buffer", calling the refreshScreen() method to copy content from the back buffer to the front buffer, which will make Lanterna also apply the changes so that the user can see them in the terminal. */ DefaultTerminalFactory defaultTerminalFactory = new DefaultTerminalFactory(); Screen screen = null; try { /* You can use the DefaultTerminalFactory to create a Screen, this will generally give you the TerminalScreen implementation that is probably what you want to use.
