This is the implementation of the classical "Draw a line" tutorial using Séléné framework.

Classical shebang to use Séléné as script interpretor. Obviously, the path has to be changed as per your own installation.

#!./Selene

Tell to Séléné we want to use DirectFB and pass some option to it :

• quiet : don't be verbose
• no-vt : don't force usage of the current VT (it's allowing to display on my BananaPI LCD being logged by SSH).

Selene.UseDirectFB("--dfb:quiet,no-vt")

We want whole screen and then we get its primary surface. Unlike other kinds of surface, the primary one is directly linked to the framebuffer memory meaning that drawing and refreshing windows will impact our.
Finally, get its size.

DirectFB.init( DirectFB.CooperativeConst('FULLSCREEN') )
srf = SelSurface.create { caps=SelSurface.CapabilityConst('PRIMARY') }
w,h = srf:GetSize()

Clear the surface with black color.
Unlike other drawing methods, Clear() doesn't take in account, drawing/blitting flags or clipping and its color is independent of actual drawing one.
Colors are defined by 3 components : ref, green, blue a usual plus an alpha channel ; 0 for totally transparent and 255 for solid color ... but the surface needs to support it.

srf:Clear(0,0,0,0)

Draw a horizontal gray line and a vertical orange one.

srf:SetColor( 0x80, 0x80, 0x80, 0x80) -- gray
srf:DrawLine( 0, h/2, w, h/2 )
srf:SetColor( 0xff, 0x80, 0x80, 0x80) -- Orange
srf:DrawLine( w/2, 0, w/2, h )

Wait for user input before closing.

print "Hit 'enter' key to exit"
io.stdin:read'*l'

Finaly, clean everything.

srf:destroy()

And the result is :
