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
[ caret-space
priority
style]) → (-> void)
  start : exact-nonnegative-integer?
  end : exact-nonnegative-integer?
  color : (or/c string? (is-a?/c color%))
  caret-space : boolean? = #f
  priority : (symbols 'high 'low) = 'low
   style : (symbols 'rectangle 'ellipse 'hollow-ellipse 'dot)
= 'rectangle
This function highlights a region of text in the buffer.
The range between start and end will be highlighted with the color in color, if the style is 'rectangle (the default). If the style is 'ellipse, then an ellipse is drawn around the range in the editor, using the color. If the style is 'hollow-ellipse, then the outline of an ellipse is drawn around the range in the editor, using the color.
If the style is 'dot, then start and end must be the same, and a dot is drawn at the bottom of that position in the editor.
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 some platforms, 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
[ caret-space
style]) → void?
  start : exact-nonnegative-integer?

The region must match up to a region specified from an earlier call to highlight-range.
(send a-text:basic get-highlighted-ranges) → (listof range)
Returns a list of (opaque) values representing the active ranges in the editor.
(send a-text:basic get-styles-fixed) → boolean?
If the result of this function is #t, the styles in this text:basic<%> will be fixed. This means that any text inserted to this editor has its style set to this editor’s style-list%’s "Standard" style.
See also set-styles-fixed.
(send a-text:basic get-fixed-style) → (is-a?/c style<%>)
Returns the style used by set-styles-fixedwhen setting the styles.

This moves or copies text and snips to another edit.
Moves or copies from the edit starting at start and ending at end. It puts the copied text and snips in dest-text starting at location dest-pos.
If a snip refused to be moved, it will be copied, otherwise it will be moved. A snip may refuse to be moved by returning #f from release-from-owner.
(send a-text:basic initial-autowrap-bitmap)
→ (union #f (instance 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 DrRacket. See also port-name-matches?.
(send a-text:basic port-name-matches? id) → boolean?
  id : (or/c path? symbol?)
Indicates if id matches the port name of this file. If the file is saved, the port name matches when the save file is the path as id. If the file has not been saved, the port name matches if the symbol is the same as the result of port-name-matches?.
(send a-text:basic get-edition-number)
→ exact-nonnegative-integer?
Returns a number that increments every time something in the editor changes.
The number is updated in after-insert in text% and after-delete in text%.

(send a-text:normalize-paste after-insert start
len) → void?
  start : exact-nonnegative-integer?
  len : exact-nonnegative-integer?
Augments after-insert in text%.

text:searching<%> : interface?

implements:	editor:keymap<%>
	text:basic<%>

Any object matching this interface can be searched.

Searches using this class has a non-traditional feature for performance reasons. Specifically, multiple adjacent hits are coalesced into a single search results when bubbles are drawn. This means, for example, that searching for a space in a file with 80,000 spaces (as one file in the Racket code base has) is still tractable, since many of those spaces will be next to each other and thus there will be far fewer bubbles (the file in question has only 20,000 such bubbles).

(send a-text:searching set-searching-state str
cs?
replace-start)
→ void?
  str : (or/c false/c string?)
  cs? : boolean?
  replace-start : (or/c false/c number?)
If str is not #f, then this method highlights every occurrence of str in the editor. If str is #f, then it clears all of the highlighting in the buffer.
If cs? is #f, the search is case-insensitive, and otherwise it is case-sensitive.
If the replace-start argument is #f, then the search is not in replacement mode. If it is a number, then the first search hit after that position in the editor is where the next replacement will take place.
(send a-text:searching set-search-anchor position) → void?
  position : (or/c false/c number?)
Sets the anchor’s position in the editor. Only takes effect if the 'framework:anchored-search preference is on.
(send a-text:searching get-search-hit-count) → number?
Returns the number of hits for the search in the buffer, based on the count found last time that a search happened.
(send a-text:searching set-replace-start pos) → void?
  pos : (or/c false/c number?)
Sets the position where replacement next occurs. This is equivalent to calling set-searching-state with a new replace-start argument, but the other arguments the same as the last call to set-searching-state, but is more efficient (since set-searching-state will search the entire buffer and re-build all of the bubbles).
(send a-text:searching get-search-bubbles)
→
(listof (list/c (cons/c number number)
                (list/c number number number)))
Returns information about the search bubbles in the editor. Each item in the outermost list corresponds to a single bubble. The pair of numbers is the range of the bubble and the triple of numbers is the color of the bubble, in RGB coordinates.
If replace-start has been set (via set-replace-start) and the closest search hit following replace-start does not collapse with an adjacent bubble,the result will include that bubble. If the closest search hit after replace-start is collpased with another bubble, then the search hit is not reflected in the result.
This method is intended for use in test suites.

  len : exact-nonnegative-integer?
Augments after-delete in text%.

text:clever-file-format<%> : interface?

implements:

text%

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
filename : path?
format : (one-of/c 'guess 'standard 'text 'text-force-cr 'same 'copy)
Augments on-save-file in editor<%>.
If the method get-file-format returns 'standard and the text has only string-snip%s, the file format is set to 'text.
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?

implements:	editor:file<%>
	text:basic<%>

Mixins that implement this interface lock themselves when the file they are editing is read only.

(send a-text:file get-read-write?) → boolean?
Indicates whether or not this editor is in read-write mode.
(send a-text:file while-unlocked thunk) → any/c
thunk : (-> any/c)
Unlocks the editor, calls the thunk, and then relocks the editor, all using a dynamic-wind.

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

argument extends/implements:	editor:file<%>
	text:basic<%>

result implements:

text:file<%>

(send a-text:file can-insert? start len) → boolean?
  start : number
  len : number
Augments can-insert? in text%.
Returns false if the result of get-read-write? is true, otherwise returns the result of calling inner.
(send a-text:file can-delete? start len) → boolean?
  start : number
  len : number
Augments can-delete? in text%.
Returns false if the result of get-read-write? is true, otherwise returns the result of calling inner.
(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 and to 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.

There are three output ports, designed to match stdout, stderr, and a special port for printing values. The only difference between them is the output is rendered in different colors when it comes in via the different ports.

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
  ip : exact-integer
Sets the position where the output port will insert characters. See also get-insertion-point.
(send a-text:ports get-unread-start-point) → exact-integer
Returns the position where input will be taken into the input port (after the next time return is typed).
(send a-text:ports set-unread-start-point usp) → void
  usp : exact-integer
Sets the position where input will be taken into the input port (after the next time return is typed).
See also get-unread-start-point.
(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)

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 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.
