text:basic<%> : interface?

implements:  editor:basic<%>   text%

Classes matching this interface are expected to implement the basic functionality needed by the framework.

(send a-text:basic highlight-range   start             end             color            [ bitmap             caret-space             priority])   →   (-> void)

start : exact-integer

end : exact-integer

color : (instance color%)

bitmap : (union |#f| (instance bitmap%)) = |#f|

caret-space : boolean = |#f|

priority : (union 'high  'low) = 'low

This function highlights a region of text in the buffer.

The range between start and end will be highlighted with the color in color, and bitmap will be painted over the range of text in black and white. If bitmap is #f, the range will be inverted, using the platform specific xor. This method is not recommended, because the selection is also displayed using xor.

If caret-space? is not #f, the left edge of the range will be one pixel short, to leave space for the caret. The caret does not interfere with the right hand side of the range. Note that under X windows the caret is drawn with XOR, which means almost anything can happen. So if the caret is in the middle of the range it may be hard to see, or if it is on the left of the range and caret-space? is #f it may also be hard to see.

The priority argument indicates the relative priority for drawing overlapping regions. If two regions overlap and have different priorities, the region with 'high priority will be drawn second and only it will be visible in the overlapping region.

This method returns a thunk, which, when invoked, will turn off the highlighting from this range.

See also unhighlight-range.

(send a-text:basic unhighlight-range   start             end             color            [ bitmap             caret-space])   →   void

color : (instance color%)

bitmap : (union |#f| (instance bitmap%)) = |#f|

Defaultly returns the result of icon:get-autowrap-bitmap

(send a-text:basic get-port-name) → symbol?

The result of this method is a symbol that identifies this editor and that is used as the port-name of a port that is read from this editor if this editor is used in DrScheme. See also port-name-matches?.

(send a-text:basic port-name-matches? id) → boolean

id : (or/c path? symbol?)

Objects supporting this interface are expected to support a clever file format when saving.

text:clever-file-format-mixin : (class? . -> . class?)

argument extends/implements:  text%

result implements:  text:clever-file-format<%>

The result of this mixin uses the same initialization arguments as the mixin’s argument.

When files are saved from this text%, a check is made to see if there are any non-string-snip% objects in the text%. If so, it is saved using the file format 'std. (see set-file-format for more information. If not, the file format passed to save-file is used.

(send a-text:clever-file-format on-save-file   filename             format)   →   void

If the method get-file-format returns 'text and the text has some non string-snip%s, the file format is set to 'standard.

Depending on the user’s preferences, the user may also be queried.

Also, the changes to the file format only happen if the argument file-format is 'copy or 'same.

text:file<%> : interface?

(send a-text:file after-save-file) → void

Augments after-save-file in editor<%>.

Checks if the newly saved file is write-only in the filesystem. If so, locks the editor with the lock method. Otherwise unlocks the buffer

For each canvas returned from get-canvases it checks to see if the canvas%’s get-top-level-window matches the frame:editor<%> interface. If so, it calls set-label with the last part of the filename (ie, the name of the file, not the directory the file is in).

(send a-text:file after-load-file) → void

Augments after-load-file in editor<%>.

Checks if the newly loaded file is write-only in the filesystem. If so, locks the editor with the lock method. Otherwise unlocks the buffer

For each canvas returned from get-canvases it checks to see if the canvas%’s get-top-level-window matches the frame:editor<%> interface. If so, it calls set-label with the last part of the filename (ie, the name of the file, not the directory the file is in).

text:ports<%> : interface?

Classes implementing this interface (via the associated mixin) support input and output ports that read from the editor.

There are two input ports: the normal input port just reads from the editor’s contents directly and the box input port inserts an editor snip into this text and uses input typed into the box as input into the port.

They create three threads to mediate access to the input and output ports (one for each input port and one for all of the output ports).

(send a-text:ports delete/io start end) → void

start : exact-integer

end : exact-integer

Deletes the text between start and end without changing the behavior of the ports (otherwise, deleting the text would break internal invariants of the port).

Both start and end must be less than get-insertion-point (or else it is safe to delete them so you don’t need this method).

(send a-text:ports get-insertion-point) → exact-integer

Returns the position where characters put into the output port will appear.

(send a-text:ports set-insertion-point ip) → void

(send a-text:ports set-allow-edits allow-edits?) → void

allow-edits? : boolean

Enables or disables editing in the buffer. Be sure to update the unread start point (via set-unread-start-point) and the insertion point (via set-insertion-point) after making changes to the buffer.

(send a-text:ports get-allow-edits) → boolean

Indicates if editing is allowed in the buffer at this point.

(send a-text:ports insert-between str) → void

str : (union snip% string)

Inserts some text between the unread start point and the insertion point (and updates them properly). To insert before the two points, see insert-before.

See also set-unread-start-point and set-insertion-point.

(send a-text:ports insert-before str) → void

str : (union snip% string)

Inserts some text before the unread start point and updates it and the insertion point properly. To insert between the two points, see insert-between.

See also set-unread-start-point and set-insertion-point.

(send a-text:ports submit-to-port? key) → boolean

key : char

Augment this method to help control when characters should be submitted to the input port.

Return #t or the result of calling inner.

(send a-text:ports on-submit) → void

This method is called when text is sent into the input port.

Does nothing.

(send a-text:ports send-eof-to-in-port) → void

This method puts an eof into the input port.

(send a-text:ports send-eof-to-box-in-port) → void

This method puts an eof into the box input port.

(send a-text:ports reset-input-box) → void

This method removes the current input box from the editor (and all input in it is lost).

(send a-text:ports clear-output-ports) → void

Flushes all of the data in all of the output ports that hasn’t appeared in the editor yet.

(send a-text:ports clear-input-port) → void

Flushes all of the data in the input port that hasn’t yet been read. Reading will now block.

(send a-text:ports clear-box-input-port) → void

Flushes all of the data in the box input port that hasn’t yet been read. Reading will now block.

(send a-text:ports get-out-style-delta)

→ (or/c (is-a?/c style-delta%) string?)

The result of this method is the style that is used to color text submitted to the result of get-out-port.

If the result is a string that is not mapped in the editor’s style list, the style named "Standard" is used and if that isn’t mapped, the style named "Basic" is used.

This method is called during the initialization of the class.

Defaultly returns "text:ports out" which is mapped to a blue style in the style list returned by editor:get-standard-style-list.

(send a-text:ports get-err-style-delta)

→ (or/c (is-a?/c style-delta%) string?)

The result of this method is the style that is used to color text submitted to the result of get-err-port.

If the result is a string that is not mapped in the editor’s style list, the style named "Standard" is used and if that isn’t mapped, the style named "Basic" is used.

This method is called during the initialization of the class.

Defaultly returns "text:ports err" which is mapped to a red italic style in the style list returned by editor:get-standard-style-list.

(send a-text:ports get-value-style-delta)

→ (or/c (is-a?/c style-delta%) string?)

The result of this method is the style (or the name of the style) that is used to color text submitted to the result of get-value-port.

If the result is a string that is not mapped in the editor’s style list, the style named "Standard" is used and if that isn’t mapped, the style named "Basic" is used.

This method is called during the initialization of the class.

Defaultly returns "text:ports value" which is mapped to a blue style in the style list returned by editor:get-standard-style-list.

(send a-text:ports get-in-port) → input-port

Returns the input port that data in this editor is sent to.

(send a-text:ports get-in-box-port) → input-port

Returns the box input port that data in this editor is sent to.

(send a-text:ports get-out-port) → output-port

Returns an output port that writes into this editor. The only difference between this port and the ports returned by get-err-port and get-value-port is the font style and color.

(send a-text:ports get-err-port) → output-port

Returns an output port that writes into this editor. The only difference between this port and the ports returned by get-err-port and get-out-port is the font style and color.

(send a-text:ports get-value-port) → output-port

Returns an output port that writes into this editor. The only difference between this port and the ports returned by get-err-port and get-out-port is the font style and color.

(send a-text:ports after-io-insertion) → void

This method is called after an insertion due to IO occurs.

(send a-text:ports get-box-input-editor-snip%)

→ (subclass editor-snip%)

The result of this method is used as the class of editor snips that is inserted by the box port in this editor.

(send a-text:ports get-box-input-text%)

→ (is-a?/c text:input-box)

The result of this method is instantiated and placed inside the result of get-box-input-editor-snip%.
