+## Building Blocks
+
+A template is created with `WhirledPeas.template`, which yields a composer object for a box and its associated settings. 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 associated settings, which will be added to the parent's children
+- `add_graph` - yields a `nil` and settings for a graph element, which will be added to the parent's children, the block should return an array of numbers to be plotted
+- `add_grid` - yields a composer for a grid and associated settings, which will be added to the parent's children
+- `add_text` - yields `nil` and settings for a text element, which will be added to the parent's children
+
+E.g.
+
+```ruby
+WhirledPeas.template do |composer, settings|
+  settings.bg_color = :blue
+  composer.add_grid do |composer, settings|
+    settings.num_cols = 10
+    100.times do |i|
+      composer.add_text { i }
+    end
+  end
+end
+```
+
+The above template can also be broken down into more manageable methods, e.g.
+
+```ruby
+def number_grid(_composer, settings)
+  settings.num_cols = 10
+  100.times.map(&:itself)
+end
+
+WhirledPeas.template do |composer, settings|
+  settings.bg_color = :blue
+  composer.add_grid(&method(:number_grid))
+end
+```
+
+Additionally, if no child element is explicitly added to a `Grid`, but the block returns an array of strings or numbers, those will be converted to `Text` elements and added as children to the `Grid`. For example, these are identical ways to create a grid of strings
+
+```ruby
+template.add_grid do |composer|
+  100.times do |i|
+    composer.add_text { i }
+  end
+end
+
+template.add_grid do
+  100.times.map(&:itself)
+end
+```
+
+Similarly, if no child element is explicilty added to a `Box`, but the block returns a string or number, that value will be converted to a `Text` and added as a child. For example, these are identical ways to create a box with string content
+
+```ruby
+template.add_box do |composer|
+  composer.add_text { "Hello!" }
+end
+
+template.add_box do
+  "Hello!"
+end
+```

+## Screen Tests
+
+In addition to standard RSpec tests, WhirledPeas has custom tests for rendered templates. These files live in `screen_test/`. 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.
+
+Note: viewing `.frame` files with `cat` works better than most other text editors.
+
+```
+
+Usage: screen_test [file] [options]
+
+If not file or options are provide, all tests are run
+
+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

+## Settings
+
+Each element type has an associated settings type, which provide a custom set of options to format the output. Child settings will inherit from the parent, where applicable. The table below lists all settings along with which element types the settings can be applied to (`container` referes to either a `grid` or `box`)

+
+### Content Start
+
+Content start settings dictate the relative position from the content area where the children will get painted. Positive values for `left`/`top` result in moving the children leftward/downward, negative values shift children rightward/upward. Setting `right` or `bototm` will result in the end of the children to be painted relative to the right/bottom of the content area.
+
+To set these values, use
+
+- `set_content_start(left:, top:, right:, bottom:)`
+- `content_start.left=`
+- `content_start.top=`
+- `content_start.right=`
+- `content_start.bottom=`
+
+Note: setting `left` and `right` or `top` and `bottom` is not supported
+
+### Dimension
+
+By default, the width and height of a container is calculated based on the width and height of its children. These values can be explicitly overridden to force the content into a specified dimensions. There are two sizing models that determine how the `width` and `height` settings are used to calculate the dimensions. 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:, 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
+
+Note: values cannot be negative
+
+### Padding
+
+Padding settings dictate the spacing on the inside (i.e. inside of the border) of each of the 4 sides of the container independently. To set these values, use
+
+- `set_padding(left:, top:, right:, bottom:, horiz:, vert:)` - set any combination of padding (note: setting `horiz` and `left`/`right` or setting `vert` and `top`/`bottom` is not allowed)
+- `padding.left=(value)` - set left padding
+- `padding.top=(value)` - set top padding
+- `padding.right=(value)` - set right padding
+- `padding.bottom=(value)` - set bottom padding
+- `padding.horiz=(value)` - set left and right padding to the same value
+- `padding.vert=(value)` - set top and bottom padding to the same value
+
+Note: values cannot be negative
+
+### Scrollbar
+
+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
+- `scrollbar.horiz=(flag)` - show/hide the horizontal scrollbar
+- `scrollbar.vert=(flag)` - show/hide the vertical scrollbar
+
+Note: there is a know bug with scrollbars and `center`/`right` alignments. Using `left` alignment is the supported workaround
+
+### 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:)` - set any combination of border settings
+- `full_border(style:, color:)` - set all borders to true and optionally set the style or color
+- `border.left=(flag)` - show/hide left border
+- `border.top=(flag)` - show/hide top border
+- `border.right=(flag)` - show/hide right border
+- `border.bottom=(flag)` - show/hide bottom border
+- `border.inner_horiz=(flag)` - show/hide inner horizontal border (dividing grid rows)
+- `border.inner_vert=(flag)` - show/hide inner vertical border (dividing grid columns)
+- `border.color=(text_color)` - set the border color
+- `border.style=(style)` - set the border style
+
+Available border styles are
+
+- `:bold` (default)

+To print out a list of all available fonts as well as sample text in that font, run
+
+```
+$ whirled_peas title_fonts
+```
+
+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.
