AutoHotkey

Works with: AutoHotkey_L

Translation of: C

AutoHotkey is not built for the console (it is GUI oriented) so we must call the WinAPI directly.

DllCall( "AllocConsole" ) ; create a console if not launched from one
hConsole := DllCall( "GetStdHandle", int, STDOUT := -11 )

Axe

Since Axe currently only supports the TI-83/84, the home screen dimensions are fixed at 16 columns by 8 rows.

BBC BASIC

Works with: BBC BASIC for Windows

      dx% = @vdu.tr%-@vdu.tl% : REM Width of text viewport in pixels
      dy% = @vdu.tb%-@vdu.tt% : REM Height of text viewport in pixels

Works with: all BBC BASIC

      PRINT:VDU 8:dx%=POS+1:PRINT                    : REM Width of text viewport in characters
      REPEAT:dy%=VPOS:PRINT:UNTIL VPOS=dy%:dy%=dy%+1 : REM Height of text viewport in characters

This has the side effect of scrolling the viewport up one line.

Works with: BBC BASIC where VDU() is supported

      dx% = VDU(10)-VDU(8)+1 : REM Width of text viewport in characters
      dy% = VDU(9)-VDU(11)+1 : REM Height of text viewport in characters

This has the side effect of scrolling the viewport up one line.

C

C provides no standard way to find the size of a terminal.

Library: BSD libc

BSD systems (and some other Unix clones) have TIOCGWINSZ. This ioctl(2) call gets the "window size" of a tty(4) device.

Almost all terminal devices can do NAWS (Negotiate About Window Size). A terminal emulator like xterm(1) should set the size. A network server like sshd(1) should copy the size from its client. Other devices, such as plain serial ports, might not know the window size.

Works with: BSD version 4.4

#include <sys/ioctl.h>	/* ioctl, TIOCGWINSZ */
#include <err.h>	/* err */
#include <fcntl.h>	/* open */
#include <stdio.h>	/* printf */
#include <unistd.h>	/* close */

int
main()
{
	struct winsize ws;
	int fd;

	/* Open the controlling terminal. */
	fd = open("/dev/tty", O_RDWR);
	if (fd < 0)
		err(1, "/dev/tty");

	/* Get window size of terminal. */ 
	if (ioctl(fd, TIOCGWINSZ, &ws) < 0)
		err(1, "/dev/tty");

	printf("%d rows by %d columns\n", ws.ws_row, ws.ws_col);
	printf("(%d by %d pixels)\n", ws.ws_xpixel, ws.ws_ypixel);

	close(fd);	
	return 0;
}

Windows

Grab a console screen handle, then call GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo() to get the information. Most consoles have a scroll bar and hold hundreds of lines, but the window shows only 25 or 50 lines. Use the window coordinates to calculate the window size.

Works with: MinGW

#include <windows.h>
#include <wchar.h>

int
main()
{
	HANDLE console;
	CONSOLE_SCREEN_BUFFER_INFO info;
	short rows;
	short columns;
	/* Create a handle to the console screen. */
	console = CreateFileW(L"CONOUT$", GENERIC_READ | GENERIC_WRITE,
	    FILE_SHARE_READ | FILE_SHARE_WRITE, NULL, OPEN_EXISTING,
	    0, NULL);
	if (console == INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE)
		return 1;

	/* Calculate the size of the console window. */
	if (GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo(console, &info) == 0)
		return 1;
	CloseHandle(console);
	columns = info.srWindow.Right - info.srWindow.Left + 1;
	rows = info.srWindow.Bottom - info.srWindow.Top + 1;

	wprintf(L"%d columns by %d rows\n", columns, rows);

	return 0;
}

C#

The C# console has several properties to take note of. BufferHeight and BufferWidth are the valid writing area, the cursor can print anywhere within these bounds. This can be considered the actual terminal. WindowHeight and WindowWidth are simply the size of the window, it only represents the active viewing area which may be larger or more commonly smaller than the size of the buffer.

static void Main(string[] args)
{
    int bufferHeight = Console.BufferHeight;
    int bufferWidth = Console.BufferWidth;
    int windowHeight = Console.WindowHeight;
    int windowWidth = Console.WindowWidth;

    Console.Write("Buffer Height: ");
    Console.WriteLine(bufferHeight);
    Console.Write("Buffer Width: ");
    Console.WriteLine(bufferWidth);
    Console.Write("Window Height: ");
    Console.WriteLine(windowHeight);
    Console.Write("Window Width: ");
    Console.WriteLine(windowWidth);
    Console.ReadLine();
}

On the author's system this results in the following output:

Buffer Height: 300
Buffer Width: 80
Window Height: 25
Window Width: 80

This perfectly demonstrates that the buffer may not be the same size as the window.

J

This is not well supported in J, but since the terminal window can be resized at any time and can have its font changed and so on, good design generally dictates that this kind of information be ignored.

Nevertheless, assuming J version 6 in its usual environment, to determine its width and height, in pixels, you can use:

_2 {.qsmsize_jijs_''

Note also that this will typically include 37 extra pixels horizontally and 79 extra pixels vertically, which are not available to display text. In other words, if the result was 700 500 you would really have 663 pixels of width and 421 pixels of height.

Locomotive Basic

Locomotive BASIC has no built-in command to get window dimensions, but there is a firmware call to &bb69 (TXT_GET_WINDOW) for this. So we have to use a snippet of Z80 machine code to call the firmware and copy the results from the DE and HL registers to RAM. It looks like this when disassembled:

4000 d5          push de
4001 e5          push hl
4002 cd 69 bb    call &bb69
4005 ed 53 20 40 ld (&4020),de
4009 22 22 40    ld (&4022),hl
400c e1          pop hl
400d d1          pop de
400e c9          ret

This routine gets POKEd into RAM (starting at address &4000) and CALLed from Locomotive BASIC, then the results are retrieved with PEEK:

10 s=&4000:SYMBOL AFTER 256:MEMORY s-1
20 FOR i=0 to 14:READ a:POKE s+i,a:NEXT
30 DATA &d5,&e5,&cd,&69,&bb,&ed,&53,&20,&40,&22,&22,&40,&e1,&d1,&c9
40 CALL s
50 h=PEEK(&4020)-PEEK(&4022)+1
60 w=PEEK(&4021)-PEEK(&4023)+1
70 PRINT "window width:"; w; ", height:"; h

In practice, one would prefer to write the machine code routine as a slightly more elaborate RSX (resident system extension) which is a freely relocatable and therefore more reusable Locomotive BASIC extension. The RSX routine might be called "getwh" and accept pointers to integers, which would simplify the BASIC code to:

10 w%=0:h%=0      ' initialize and force integer type
20 |getwh,@w%,@h% ' call RSX and pass variables as pointers
30 PRINT "window width:"; w%; ", height:"; h%

But the fastest way is still to use the system values ​​for the current window :

10 PRINT "window width:"PEEK(&B72C)+1", height:"PEEK(&B72B)+1

Mathematica/Wolfram Language

WIDTH=RunThrough["tput cols", ""];
HEIGHT=RunThrough["tput lines", ""];

Nim

OCaml

Using the library ANSITerminal in the interactive loop:

$ ocaml unix.cma -I +ANSITerminal ANSITerminal.cma

# let width, height = ANSITerminal.size () ;;
val width : int = 126
val height : int = 47

Perl

use Term::Size;

($cols, $rows) = Term::Size::chars;
print "The terminal has $cols columns and $rows lines\n";

Phix

The buffer is usually somewhat larger (and never smaller) than the current physical screen size. I would guess that most applications are more interested in the latter.

without js -- (video_config)
sequence vc = video_config()
printf(1,"Terminal buffer height is %d\n",vc[VC_LINES])
printf(1,"Terminal buffer width is %d\n",vc[VC_COLUMNS])
printf(1,"Terminal screen height is %d\n",vc[VC_SCRNLINES])
printf(1,"Terminal screen width is %d\n",vc[VC_SCRNCOLS])

Output:

Terminal buffer height is 196
Terminal buffer width is 132
Terminal screen height is 25
Terminal screen width is 80

    h = windll.kernel32.GetStdHandle(-12)
    csbi = create_string_buffer(22)
    res = windll.kernel32.GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo(h, csbi)

    #return default size if actual size can't be determined
    if not res: return 80, 25 

    import struct
    (bufx, bufy, curx, cury, wattr, left, top, right, bottom, maxx, maxy)\

Works with: brexx

Works with: regina

Works with: rexximc

Some REXX interpreters don't provide basic terminal control as part of the language. However, it's possible to determine the size of the terminal window by using external system commands:

width = 'tput'( 'cols' )
height = 'tput'( 'lines' )

say 'The terminal is' width 'characters wide'

The LINESIZE built-in function returns the (terminal) screen's width.   It is supported by most (classic) REXX interpreters (and some others) such as: CMS REXX, TSO REXX, VSE REXX, the IBM REXX compiler, PC/REXX, Personal REXX, REXX/imc, R4 and ROO.   A sample usage of it is:

width=linesize()

The above example makes use of   LINESIZE   REXX program (or BIF) which is used to determine the screen width (or linesize) of the terminal (console).
The   LINESIZE.REX   REXX program is included here ──► LINESIZE.REX.

SCRSIZE

SCRSIZE is another built-in function, and returns two integers: the screen depth and the screen width.   A few classic REXX interpreters support it:   PC/REXX, Personal REXX, R4 and ROO.

 parse value scrsize() with sd sw

The above example makes use of   SCRSIZE   REXX program (of BIF) which is used to determine the screen size of the terminal (console).
The   SCRSIZE.REX   REXX program is included here ──► SCRSIZE.REX.

Ruby

def winsize
  # Ruby 1.9.3 added 'io/console' to the standard library.
  require 'io/console'
  IO.console.winsize
rescue LoadError
  # This works with older Ruby, but only with systems
  # that have a tput(1) command, such as Unix clones.
  [Integer(`tput li`), Integer(`tput co`)]
end

rows, cols = winsize
printf "%d rows by %d columns\n", rows, cols

Library: curses

Curses.lines and Curses.cols return the size of the terminal. The program must call Curses.init_screen, because without this call, Curses might report 0 lines and 0 columns. Beware that Curses.init_screen also switches the terminal to screen-oriented mode, and fails on those terminals that cannot support curses.

require 'curses'

begin
  Curses.init_screen

  r, c = Curses.lines, Curses.cols

  Curses.setpos r / 2, 0
  Curses.addstr "#{r} rows by #{c} columns".center(c)
  Curses.getch
ensure
  Curses.close_screen
end

Scala

Works with: Ubuntu version 14.04

  /*
     First execute the terminal command: 'export COLUMNS LINES'
     before running this program for it to work (returned 'null' sizes otherwise).
 */

    val (lines, columns)  = (System.getenv("LINES"), System.getenv("COLUMNS"))
    println(s"Lines   = $lines, Columns = $columns")

Seed7

The functions height and width are portable and determine the dimensions of the console window. Height and width are based on terminfo respectively the Windows console API.

$ include "seed7_05.s7i";
  include "console.s7i";

const proc: main is func
  local
    var text: console is STD_NULL;
  begin
    console := open(CONSOLE);
    writeln(console, "height: " <& height(console) lpad 3);
    writeln(console, "width:  " <& width(console) lpad 3);
    # Terminal windows often restore the previous
    # content, when a program is terminated. Therefore
    # the program waits until Return/Enter is pressed.
    readln;
  end func;

Tcl

Translation of: UNIX Shell

set width [exec tput cols]
set height [exec tput lines]
puts "The terminal is $width characters wide and has $height lines"

Alternative

Requires: GNU coreutils

lassign [exec stty size] width height
puts "The terminal is $width characters wide and has $height lines"

UNIX Shell

Works with: Bourne Shell

#!/bin/sh
WIDTH=`tput cols`
HEIGHT=`tput lines`
echo "The terminal is $WIDTH characters wide and has $HEIGHT lines."

Library: termcap

termcap is obsolete.

#!/bin/sh
WIDTH=`tput co`
HEIGHT=`tput li`
echo "The terminal is $WIDTH characters wide and has $HEIGHT lines."

C Shell

#!/bin/csh -f
set WIDTH=`tput cols`
set HEIGHT=`tput lines`
echo "The terminal is $WIDTH characters wide and has $HEIGHT lines."

Wren

As there is currently no way to obtain this information via Wren CLI, we instead embed a Wren script in a C application and ask the host program to get it for us.

/* Terminal_control_Dimensions.wren */

class C {
    foreign static terminalWidth
    foreign static terminalHeight
}

var w = C.terminalWidth
var h = C.terminalHeight
System.print("The dimensions of the terminal are:")
System.print("   Width  = %(w)")
System.print("   Height = %(h)")

We now embed this Wren script in the following C program, compile and run it.

/* gcc Terminal_control_Dimensions.c -o Terminal_control_Dimensions -lwren -lm */

#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <sys/ioctl.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include "wren.h"

void C_terminalWidth(WrenVM* vm) {
    struct winsize w;
    ioctl(STDOUT_FILENO, TIOCGWINSZ, &w);
    wrenSetSlotDouble(vm, 0, (double)w.ws_col);
}

void C_terminalHeight(WrenVM* vm) {
    struct winsize w;
    ioctl(STDOUT_FILENO, TIOCGWINSZ, &w);
    wrenSetSlotDouble(vm, 0, (double)w.ws_row);
}

WrenForeignMethodFn bindForeignMethod(
    WrenVM* vm,
    const char* module,
    const char* className,
    bool isStatic,
    const char* signature) {
    if (strcmp(module, "main") == 0) {
        if (strcmp(className, "C") == 0) {
            if (isStatic && strcmp(signature, "terminalWidth") == 0) {
                return C_terminalWidth;
            } else if (isStatic && strcmp(signature, "terminalHeight") == 0) {
                return C_terminalHeight;
            }
        }
    }
    return NULL;
}

    printf("%s", text);
}

    switch (errorType) {
        case WREN_ERROR_COMPILE:

            break;
        case WREN_ERROR_STACK_TRACE:

}

char *readFile(const char *fileName) {
    FILE *f = fopen(fileName, "r");
    fseek(f, 0, SEEK_END);
    long fsize = ftell(f);
    rewind(f);
    char *script = malloc(fsize + 1);
    fread(script, 1, fsize, f);
    fclose(f);
    script[fsize] = 0;
    return script;
}

int main() {
    WrenConfiguration config;
    wrenInitConfiguration(&config);
    config.writeFn = &writeFn;
    config.errorFn = &errorFn;
    config.bindForeignMethodFn = &bindForeignMethod;
    WrenVM* vm = wrenNewVM(&config);
    const char* module = "main";
    const char* fileName = "Terminal_control_Dimensions.wren";
    char *script = readFile(fileName);
    WrenInterpretResult result = wrenInterpret(vm, module, script);
    switch (result) {
        case WREN_RESULT_COMPILE_ERROR:
            printf("Compile Error!\n");
            break;
        case WREN_RESULT_RUNTIME_ERROR:
            printf("Runtime Error!\n");
            break;
        case WREN_RESULT_SUCCESS:
            break;
    }
    wrenFreeVM(vm);
    free(script);
    return 0;
