 * Provides a window onto a section of a terminal screen.
 * This window can then be rendered by a terminal display widget ( TerminalDisplay ).
 *
 * To use the screen window, create a new ScreenWindow() instance and associated it with
 * a terminal screen using setScreen().
 * Use the scrollTo() method to scroll the window up and down on the screen.
 * Call the getImage() method to retrieve the character image which is currently visible in the window.
 *
 * setTrackOutput() controls whether the window moves to the bottom of the associated screen when new
 * lines are added to it.
 *
 * Whenever the output from the underlying screen is changed, the notifyOutputChanged() slot should
 * be called.  This in turn will update the window's position and emit the outputChanged() signal
