Is there an easy way to capture "final" output?

[aronchick]

When i'm drawing, and then quit, the screen wipes. This is fine, but i'd like to capture the last rendered state, and display it after exiting. I can't seem to find this anywhere - is there guidance how to do it?

This is a property of the tcell package.

I suppose you could supply your own Screen object using SetScreen() and extract the contents after your program exits.

Oh fascinating - does screen have a string buffer like object that I could use to render to the console?

I ended up just grabbing the final buffer and printing it.
