DESCRIPTION
This library supports frames of editable text in a single font
on raster displays, such as in sam(1) and rio(1). Frames may hold
any character except NUL (0). Long lines are folded and tabs are
at fixed intervals.
The user–visible data structure, a Frame, is defined in <frame.h>:
The text within frames is not directly addressable; instead frames are designed to work alongside another structure that holds the text. The typical application is to display a section of a longer document such as a text file or terminal session. Usually the program will keep its own copy of the text in the window (probably as an array of Runes) and pass components of this text to the frame routines to display the visible portion. Only the text that is visible is held by the Frame; the application must check maxlines, nlines, and lastlinefull to determine, for example, whether new text needs to be appended at the end of the Frame after calling frdelete (q.v.). There are no routines in the library to allocate Frames; instead the interface assumes that Frames will be components of larger structures. Frinit prepares the Frame f so characters drawn in it will appear in the single Font ft. It then calls frsetrects and frinittick to initialize the geometry for the Frame. The Image b is where the Frame is to be drawn; Rectangle r defines the limit of the portion of the Image the text will occupy. The Image pointer may be null, allowing the other routines to be called to maintain the associated data structure in, for example, an obscured window. The array of Images cols sets the colors in which text and borders will be drawn. The background of the frame will be drawn in cols[BACK]; the background of highlighted text in cols[HIGH]; borders and scroll bar in cols[BORD]; regular text in cols[TEXT]; and highlighted text in cols[HTEXT]. Frclear frees the internal structures associated with f, permitting another frinit or frsetrects on the Frame. It does not clear the associated display. If f is to be deallocated, the associated Font and Image must be freed separately. The resize argument should be non–zero if the frame is to be redrawn with a different font; otherwise the frame will maintain some data structures associated with the font. To resize a Frame, use frclear and frinit and then frinsert (q.v.) to recreate the display. If a Frame is being moved but not resized, that is, if the shape of its containing rectangle is unchanged, it is sufficient to use draw(2) to copy the containing rectangle from the old to the new location and then call frsetrects to establish the new geometry. (It is unnecessary to call frinittick unless the font size has changed.) No redrawing is necessary. Frames hold text as runes, not as bytes. Frptofchar returns the location of the upper left corner of the p'th rune, starting from 0, in the Frame f. If f holds fewer than p runes, frptofchar returns the location of the upper right corner of the last character in f. Frcharofpt is the inverse: it returns the index of the closest rune whose image's upper left corner is up and to the left of pt. Frinsert inserts into Frame f starting at rune index p the runes between r0 and r1. If a NUL (0) character is inserted, chaos will ensue. Tabs and newlines are handled by the library, but all other characters, including control characters, are just displayed. For example, backspaces are printed; to erase a character, use frdelete. Frdelete deletes from the Frame the text between p0 and p1; p1 points at the first rune beyond the deletion. Frselect tracks the mouse to select a contiguous string of text in the Frame. When called, a mouse button is typically down. Frselect will return when the button state has changed (some buttons may still be down) and will set f–>p0 and f–>p1 to the selected range of text.
Programs that wish to manage the selection themselves have several
routines to help. They involve the maintenance of the `tick',
the vertical line indicating a null selection between characters,
and the colored region representing a non–null selection. Frtick
draws (if up is non–zero) or removes (if up is zero) the tick at
the screen position indicated by pt. Frdrawsel repaints a section
of the frame, delimited by character positions p0 and p1, either
with plain background or entirely highlighted, according to the
flag highlighted, managing the tick appropriately. The point pt0
is the geometrical location of p0 on the screen; like all of the
selection–helper routines' Point arguments, it must be a value
generated by frptofchar. Frdrawsel0 is a lower–level routine, taking
as arguments a background color, back, and text color, text. It
assumes that the tick is being handled (removed beforehand, replaced
afterwards, as required) by its caller. Frselectpaint
uses a solid color, col, to paint a region of the frame defined
by the Points p0 and p1. |
