Add Type : Enable thin/thick line drawing (╄ ╅ ╆ ╇...)

[ogt]

I'm offering $120.00 on oDesk for someone to do this task: https://www.odesk.com/jobs/~012d414933e03d101e

Add a new type (call it org) that uses the thin/thick characters instead of the single double line block drawing characters.
Note that in this case the default character is the thick. Pressing Ctrl
results in using the thin (thin is described as light in wikipedia, thick is described as heavy in wikipedia)
Also Note that several fonts (like the font used in github issues below do not have compatible fonts for the complete combination. Use the wikipedia font as the "standard".

Make sure that you extend the tests to maintain 100% code coverage.
You will need to create a separate test file ./test/test_orglines.js.

You should expect to change primarily the file
./lib/orglines.js. The file ./lib/drawingengine.js should only have a minimal modification to allow expand the type switch.

Also you will need to update the README.md file with at least an example usage of that type.

Follow the instructions of Issues #2, #3 for any additional information.

What about intersection of lines, should I consider 'org' type as 'simple', or 'block'?

Hi @Jedius,
I am not sure I understand your question.

When two lines intersect the corresponding character that should be used should be one of the sixteen combinations

┽ ┾ ┿ ╀ ╁ ╂ ╃
╄ ╅ ╆ ╇ ╈ ╉ ╊
╋ ┼

depending on the neighboring cells.
You can reuse the code patterns used in the blocklines.js code to write the orglines.js code

Did I answer your question?

@Jedius,

Looking at your fork.. it seems that you are using following the pattern that I used for the simple (+/-/|) lines.
That pattern results in a very complex logic pretty fast as you add font combinations.
The pattern followed in the blocklines is in my view the one that you should use for this.
It does appear longer in length - but it is a much cleaner approach.
You can take a look at the threads of issue #2 to see the relevant discussion.
You may also ask the contributor that coded the blocklines @GulinSS in case you have questions.. (not sure if he is available to respond though)

Another suggestion is that you may find it easier to start with Issue #3 (if I understand correctly you have been assigned both issues) - to get you better acquainted with the blocklines.js code/patterns.

Also please use issue comments (as opposed to odesk messages) to communicate questions about the project.

@Jedius
Could you please let me know

• if you are still working on this,
• what progress you have made

@Jedius, you may want to do a pull, we've had lots of commit activity since your fork.
Not in the files you are working on... but just in case.
