console.height | LuaRT free and open source Windows programming framework for Lua

console.height readonly property

The console.height property gets the current console height in character. That value depends on the current console window size.

Example


local console = require "console"

console.color = "lightmagenta"

-- get the line in the middle of the console
local ypos = math.floor(console.height/2)

-- scroll "Hello World !" on that line
for i=1,console.width-13 do
	if i>1 then
		console.locate(i-1, ypos)
		console.write(" ")
	end
	console.locate(i, ypos)
	console.write("Hello World !")
	sys.sleep(1)
end
