Feature: Support of clear screen

[OllisGit]

First: Thx, a lot for this nice toolkit!!!!

Sometimes I want to start with a clear screen and the ANSI support this feature:
see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ANSI_escape_code (look for Erase in Display)

	StringBuilder clearScreenEscBuilder = new StringBuilder();
        char c = 27;
        char c2 = '[';
        clearScreenEscBuilder.append(c);
        clearScreenEscBuilder.append(c2);
        clearScreenEscBuilder.append("2");
        clearScreenEscBuilder.append("J");
		
        String clear = clearScreenEscBuilder.toString();
        String text = "�[34mMy Super Duper blue text on a clear screen�[0m";
        System.out.println(clear);
        System.out.println(text);

What do you think?

Done 😉
It will be included in JColor 5.1.0. I'll try to push the new release now, otherwise check next Saturday.

The syntax is colorize(CLEAR_SCREEN()), so your example becomes:

String text = "�[34mMy Super Duper blue text on a clear screen�[0m";
System.out.println(colorize(CLEAR_TEXT()));
System.out.println(text);

Even though CLEAR_SCREEN() is an Ansi.Command and not an Ansi.Attribute I decided to maintain the colorized() syntax and avoid creating a new method.

Sidenote: I also gave H a try (source) but the results were incorrect. It actualy deleted the lines previously printed. The 2J simply pushes the previous lines up by adding new empty lines.

H output

2J output

Update: I'll release this feature on May 29, as I recently switched laptops and I don't have the right setup to release now

Just deployed it to Maven Central. The new version (5.1.0) still doesn't appear listed there, as it usually takes a while (hours). Feel free to update your dependencies file for the new version and check if it can pull the latest version. If not, you'll have to wait :)

Thx, a lot. Works as expected.

System.out.println( colorize( Command.CLEAR_SCREEN() ));

It is currently not listed in mvn, but this is not a big deal, because I am already using jitpack.io as an additional repo-proxy against github.
