 ### Template Factory
 
-To render the frame events sent by the driver, the application requires a template factory. This factory will be called for each frame event, with the frame name and the arguments supplied by the driver. A template factory can be an instance of ruby class and thus can maintain state. Whirled Peas provides a few basic building blocks to make simple, yet elegant terminal-based UIs.
-
-#### Loading Template Factory
-
-`WhirledPeas.configure` takes an optional template factory to build a loading screen. This instance must implement `#build` (taking no arguments). The template returned by that method will be painted while the event loop is waiting for frames. The factory method will be called once per refresh cycle, so it's possible to implement animation.

 #### Building Blocks
 
-A template is created with `WhirledPeas.template`, which yields a `Composer` object for a `Box` and `BoxSettings`. The composer allows for attaching child elements and the settings for setting layout options.
+A template is created with `WhirledPeas.template`, which yields a `Composer` object for a `Box` and `BoxSettings`. The composer allows for attaching child elements and the settings for setting layout options. The following attributes of the template's settings will be overridden before it is rendered to ensure that it fills the screen exactly
+
+- `margin` - all margin will be set to 0
+- `width` - will be set to the screen's width
+- `height` - will be set to the screen's height
+- `sizing` - will be set `:border` to ensure the entire box fits on the screen and fills it entirely.
 
 A `Composer` provides the following methods to add child elements, each of these takes an optional string argument that is set as the name of the element (which can be useful when debugging).
 
 - `add_box` - yields a `Composer` for a `Box` and a `BoxSettings`, which will be added to the parent's children
+- `add_graph` - yields a `nil` and a `GraphSettings`, which will be added to the parent's children, the block should return an array of numbers
 - `add_grid` - yields a `Composer` for a `Grid` and a `GridSettings`, which will be added to the parent's children
 - `add_text` - yields `nil` and a `TextSettings`, which will be added to the parent's children

+##### Sizing Model
+
+The sizing model determines how to interpret the `width` and `height` settings. The default sizing model is `:content`, which sets the width and height of the cotent area, whereas `:border` sets the width and height of the element inlcuding the padding and border and scroll bars.
+
+###### Examples
+
+In the examples below, the `~` character represents padding and would not be displayed in the acutal rendered screen.
+
+```ruby
+settings.width = 10
+settings.height = 3
+settings.set_padding(left: 3, top: 1, right: 3, bottom: 1)
+settings.full_border
+
+## Content sizing
+settings.sizing = :content
+
+# Results in the box
+#
+#   ┏━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┓
+#   ┃~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~┃
+#   ┃~~~1234567890~~~┃
+#   ┃~~~1234567890~~~┃
+#   ┃~~~1234567890~~~┃

+## Border sizing
+settings.sizing = :border
+
+# Results in the box
+#
+#   ┏━━━━━━━━┓
+#   ┃~~~12~~~┃
+#   ┗━━━━━━━━┛
+```
+
+Notice that a box rendered with `:border` sizing would fit exactly in the content area of a box with the same `width` and `height` that is rendered with `:content` sizing. For containers with no padding and no border, the resulting size is the same for either sizing model.
+
 ##### Margin
 
 Margin settings dictate the spacing on the outside (i.e. outside of the border) of each of the 4 sides of the container independently. To set these values, use
 
-- `set_margin(left:, top:, right:, bottom:)`
+- `set_margin(left:, top:, right:, bottom:, horiz:, vert:)` - set any combination of margin (note: setting `horiz` and `left`/`right` or setting `vert` and `top`/`bottom` is not allowed)
+- `margin.left=(value)` - set left margin
+- `margin.top=(value)` - set top margin
+- `margin.right=(value)` - set right margin
+- `margin.bottom=(value)` - set bottom margin
+- `margin.horiz=(value)` - set left and right margin to the same value
+- `margin.vert=(value)` - set top and bottom margin to the same value

 Scroll settings dictate whether the scrollbar will be shown when child content is larger the the container's viewport. A scrollbar adds a unit to the dimensions of a container (as opposed to overwriting the leftmost/bottommost padding)

+- `set_scrollbar(horiz:, vert:)` - set both scrollbar settings

+

 ##### Border
 
 The border settings consist of 6 boolean values (border are either width 1 or not shown), the 4 obvious values (`left`, `top`, `right`, and `bottom`) along with 2 other values for inner borders (`inner_horiz` and `inner_vert`) in a grid. A border also has a foreground color (defaults to `:white`) and a style. The background color is determined by the `bg_color` of the element. Border values can be set with
 
-- `set_border(left:, top:, right:, bottom:, inner_horiz:, inner_vert:, color:, style:)`
-- `full_border(style:, color:)`
+- `set_border(left:, top:, right:, bottom:, inner_horiz:, inner_vert:, color:, style:)` - set any combination of border settings

 Note: when using a title font with WhirledPeas for the first time on a system, the gem loads all fonts to check which ones are available. This can be a slow process and may cause a noticeable delay when running a visualization. Running the command above will cache the results and thus when a WhirledPeas visualization is run, there will be no lag from loading fonts.

+- `:out` - apply easing only to the end of the frameset

 ### Testing
 
-In addition to standard RSpec tests, WhirledPeas has custom tests for rendered templates. These files live in `screen_test/rendered`. Each ruby file is expected to define a class named `TemplateFactory` that responds to `#build(name, args)` returning a template (the standard template factory role). Each file should also be accompanied by a `.frame` file with the same base name. This file will contain the output of the rendered screen and is considered the correct output when running tests.

Each file should also be accompanied by a `.frame` file with the same base name. This file will contain the output of the rendered screen and is considered the correct output when running tests.
 
 Note: viewing `.frame` files with `cat` works better than most other text editors.
 
-The following rake tasks are provided to interact with the screen tests
+```
+
+Usage: screen_test [file] [options]
+
+If not file or options are provide, all tests are run
 
-- `screen_test` runs all screen tests in the `screen_test/rendered` directory
-- `screen_test:debug[path/to/file.rb]` render the screen without printing it, this allows for debug print statments in the code to appear in the terminal
-- `screen_test:template[path/to/file.rb]` print the rendered template debug tree
-- `screen_test:run[path/to/file.rb]` runs a single screen test
-- `screen_test:save[path/to/file.rb]` saves the output generated by the template in the `.frame` file, overwriting any existing file
-- `screen_test:view[path/to/file.rb]` views the output generated by the template
-- `screen_test:update_all[path/to/file.rb]` interactively step through each pending or failed screen test to compare/set the expected output
+If no file is provided, the supported options are
+    --help             print this usage statement and exit
+    --view-pending     interactively display and optionally save rendered output for each pending test
+    --view-failed      interactively display and optionally save rendered output for each faiing test
+
+If a screen test file is provided as the first argument, the supported options are
+    --run        run screen test for given file
+    --view       interactively display and optionally save the file's test output
+    --template   print out template tree for the test template
+    --debug      render the test template without displying it, printing out debug information
+```
