The style list can contain the following flags:

• 'no-border – omits a border around the canvas

• 'control-border – gives the canvas a border that is like a text-field% control

• 'combo – gives the canvas a combo button that is like a combo-field% control; this style is intended for use with 'control-border, 'hide-hscroll, and 'hide-vscroll

• 'no-hscroll – disallows horizontal scrolling and hides the horizontal scrollbar

• 'no-vscroll – disallows vertical scrolling and hides the vertical scrollbar

• 'hide-hscroll – allows horizontal scrolling, but hides the horizontal scrollbar

• 'hide-vscroll – allows vertical scrolling, but hides the vertical scrollbar

• 'auto-hscroll – automatically hides the horizontal scrollbar when unneeded (unless 'no-hscroll or 'hide-hscroll is specified)

• 'auto-vscroll – automatically hides the vertical scrollbar when unneeded (unless 'no-vscroll or 'hide-vscroll is specified)

• 'resize-corner – leaves room for a resize control at the canvas’s bottom right when only one scrollbar is visible

• 'deleted – creates the canvas as initially hidden and without affecting parent’s geometry; the canvas can be made active later by calling parent’s add-child method

• 'transparent – the canvas is “erased” before an update using it’s parent window’s background

While vertical scrolling of text editors is based on lines, horizontal scrolling and pasteboard vertical scrolling is based on a fixed number of steps per horizontal page. The scrolls-per-page argument sets this value.

If provided, the wheel-step argument is passed on to the wheel-step method. The default wheel step can be overridden globally though the 'GRacket:wheelStep preference; see Preferences.

If line-count is not #f, it is passed on to the set-line-count method.

If horizontal-inset is not 5, it is passed on to the horizontal-inset method. Similarly, if vertical-inset is not 5, it is passed on to the vertical-inset method.

For information about the enabled argument, see window<%>. For information about the horiz-margin and vert-margin arguments, see subarea<%>. For information about the min-width, min-height, stretchable-width, and stretchable-height arguments, see area<%>.

When tab-exit is enabled for an editor canvas, Tab and Enter keyboard events are consumed by a frame’s default on-traverse-char method; in addition, a dialog’s default method consumes Escape key events. Otherwise, on-traverse-char allows the keyboard events to be propagated to the canvas.

This method is called after clearing the margin around the editor, unless the canvas is created with the 'transparent style, but the editor area is not automatically cleared. In other words, editor-canvas% update by default is like canvas% update with the 'no-autoclear style, except that the margin around the editor area is always cleared.

The localx, localy, w, and h arguments specify a region of the editor to be made visible by the scroll (in editor coordinates).

If refresh? is not #f, then the editor is updated immediately after a successful scroll.

The return value is #t if the display is scrolled, #f if not (either because the requested region is already visible, because the display has zero size, or because the editor is currently printing).

If redraw? is #f, then the editor is not immediately drawn; in this case, something must force a redraw later (e.g., a call to the on-paint method).

If the canvas has a line count installed with set-line-count, the canvas’s minimum height is adjusted.

If the line count is set to #f, then the canvas’s graphical minimum height is restored to its original value.
