>Another way to use the terminal emulator is as an output
device with full color and xterm emulation support. This will
let your application gain the benefits of an automatic
scroll-back capability and a cursor-addressable display, if
required. Text may also be selected from any part of the
display into the clipboard.
</P
><P
>The gnome-enabled version of the xchat irc client is an
example of this type of application.
</P
><P
>This is even easier than using a child process to generate
output. You do not need to call zvt_term_forkpty(), and you
do not need to setup any special environment. Simply
call once the terminal has
been created, and it will write directly to the display.</P
><P
>All of
the usual color and style-setting attributes can be encoded as
simple strings fed into the terminal display engine.
