Detailed Description

Rich text display widget.

This is the FLTK text display widget. It allows the user to view multiple lines of text and supports highlighting, word wrap, mixes of font faces and colors, line numbers and scrolling. The buffer that is displayed in the widget is managed by the Fl_Text_Buffer class. A single Text Buffer can be displayed by multiple Text Displays.

Fl_Text_Display widget

int  nInserted,
int  nDeleted,
int  nRestyled,
const char *  deletedText,
void *  cbArg 
)
staticprotected

This is called whenever the buffer is modified.

Callback attached to the text buffer to receive modification information.

This callback can be used to adjust the display or update other setting. It is not advisable to change any buffers or text in this callback, or line counting may get out of sync.

Parameters
posstarting index of modification
nInsertednumber of bytes we inserted (must be UTF-8 aligned!)
nDeletednumber of bytes deleted (must be UTF-8 aligned!)
nRestyled??
deletedTextthis is what was removed, must not be NULL if nDeleted is set
cbArg"this" pointer for static callback function

◆ buffer_predelete_cb()

void Fl_Text_Display::buffer_predelete_cb ( int  pos,
int  nDeleted,
void *  cbArg 
)
staticprotected

This is called before any characters are deleted.

Callback attached to the text buffer to receive delete information before the modifications are actually made.

This callback can be used to adjust the display or update other setting. It is not advisable to change any buffers or text in this callback, or line counting may get out of sync.

Parameters
posstarting index of deletion
nDeletednumber of bytes we will delete (must be UTF-8 aligned!)
cbArg"this" pointer for static callback function

◆ calc_last_char()

void Fl_Text_Display::calc_last_char ( )
protected

Update last display character index.

Given a Fl_Text_Display with a complete, up-to-date lineStarts array, update the lastChar entry to point to the last buffer position displayed.

◆ calc_line_starts()

void Fl_Text_Display::calc_line_starts ( int  startLine,
int  endLine 
)
protected

Update the line starts array.

Scan through the text in the Text Display's buffer and recalculate the line starts array values beginning at index "startLine" and continuing through (including) "endLine". It assumes that the line starts entry preceding "startLine" (or mFirstChar if startLine is 0) is good, and re-counts newlines to fill in the requested entries. Out of range values for "startLine" and "endLine" are acceptable.

Parameters
startLine,endLinerange of lines to scan as line numbers

◆ clear_rect()

void Fl_Text_Display::clear_rect ( int  style,
int  X,
int  Y,
int  width,

number of pixels from the left margin to the left of an average sized character
See also
x_to_col()

◆ count_lines()

int Fl_Text_Display::count_lines ( int  startPos,
int  endPos,
bool  startPosIsLineStart 
) const

Count the number of lines between two positions.

Same as Fl_Text_Buffer::count_lines(), but takes into account wrapping if wrapping is turned on. If the caller knows that startPos is at a line start, it can pass startPosIsLineStart as True to make the call more efficient by avoiding the additional step of scanning back to the last newline.

Parameters
startPosindex to first character
endPosindex after last character
startPosIsLineStartavoid scanning back to the line start
Returns
number of lines

◆ cursor_color() [1/2]

Sets the text cursor style to one of the following:

This call also switches the cursor on and may trigger a redraw.

Parameters
stylenew cursor style

◆ display_insert()

void Fl_Text_Display::display_insert ( )
protected

Scroll the display to bring insertion cursor into view.

Note: it would be nice to be able to do this without counting lines twice (scroll_() counts them too) and/or to count from the most efficient starting point, but the efficiency of this routine is not as important to the overall performance of the text display.

protectedvirtual

Draw the widget.

This function tries to limit drawing to smaller areas if possible.

Reimplemented from Fl_Group.

◆ draw_line_numbers()

void Fl_Text_Display::draw_line_numbers ( bool  clearAll)
protected

Refresh the line number area.

Parameters
clearAll– (currently unused) If False, only draws the line number text, does not clear the area behind it. If True, clears the area and redraws the text. Use False to avoid a 'flash' for single buffered windows.

◆ draw_range()

void Fl_Text_Display::draw_range ( int  startpos,
int  endpos 
)
protected

Draw a range of text.

Refresh all of the text between buffer positions startpos and endpos not including the character at the position endpos.

If endpos points beyond the end of the buffer, refresh the whole display after startpos, including blank lines which are not technically part of any range of characters.

Parameters

const char *  string,
int  nChars 
) const
protected

Draw a string or blank area according to parameter style, using the appropriate colors and drawing method for that style, with top left corner at X, Y. If style says to draw text, use string as source of characters, and draw nChars, if style is FILL, erase rectangle where text would have drawn from X to toX and from Y to the maximum y extent of the current font(s).

Parameters
styleindex into style lookup table
X,Ydrawing origin
toXrightmost position if this is a fill operation
stringtext if this is a drawing operation

int  leftCharIndex,
int  rightCharIndex 
)
protected

Draw a single line of text.

Draw the text on a single line represented by visLineNum (the number of lines down from the top of the display), limited by leftClip and rightClip window coordinates and leftCharIndex and rightCharIndex character positions (not including the character at position rightCharIndex).

Parameters
visLineNumindex of line in the visible line number lookup
leftClip,rightClippixel position of clipped area
leftCharIndex,rightCharIndexindex into line of segment that we want to draw

◆ empty_vlines()

int Fl_Text_Display::empty_vlines ( ) const
protected

Return true if there are lines visible with no corresponding buffer text.

Returns
1 if there are empty lines

◆ extend_range_for_styles()

void Fl_Text_Display::extend_range_for_styles ( int *  startpos,
int *  endpos 
)
protected

I don't know what this does!

Extend the range of a redraw request (from *start to *end) with additional redraw requests resulting from changes to the attached style buffer (which contains auxiliary information for coloring or styling text).

Parameters
startpos??
endpos??
Todo:
Unicode?

◆ find_line_end()

void Fl_Text_Display::find_line_end ( int  startPos,
bool  startPosIsLineStart,
int *  lineEnd,
int *  nextLineStart 
) const
protected

Finds both the end of the current line and the start of the next line.

Why? In continuous wrap mode, if you need to know both, figuring out one from the other can be expensive or error prone. The problem comes when there's a trailing space or tab just before the end of the buffer. To translate an end of line value to or from the next lines start value, you need to know whether the trailing space or tab is being used as a line break or just a normal character, and to find that out would otherwise require counting all the way back to the beginning of the line.

Parameters
startPos
startPosIsLineStart
[out]lineEnd
[out]nextLineStart

◆ find_wrap_range()

void Fl_Text_Display::find_wrap_range ( const char *  deletedText,
int  pos,
int  nInserted,
int  nDeleted,
int *  modRangeStart,
int *  modRangeEnd,
int *  linesInserted,
int *  linesDeleted 
)
protected

Wrapping calculations.

When continuous wrap is on, and the user inserts or deletes characters, wrapping can happen before and beyond the changed position. This routine finds the extent of the changes, and counts the deleted and inserted lines over that range. It also attempts to minimize the size of the range to what has to be counted and re-displayed, so the results can be useful both for delimiting where the line starts need to be recalculated, and for deciding what part of the text to redisplay.

Parameters
deletedText
pos
nInserted
nDeleted
modRangeStart
modRangeEnd
linesInserted
linesDeleted

◆ find_x()

int Fl_Text_Display::find_x ( const char *  s,
int  len,
int  style,
int  x 
) const
protected

Find the index of the character that lies at the given x position / closest cursor position.

Parameters
sUTF-8 text string
lenlength of string
styleindex into style lookup table
xposition in pixels - negative returns closest cursor position
Returns
index into buffer

◆ get_absolute_top_line_number()

int Fl_Text_Display::get_absolute_top_line_number ( ) const

Todo:

we need to handle hidden hyphens and tabs here!

we handle all styles and selections

we must provide code to get pixel positions of the middle of a character as well

◆ highlight_data()

void Fl_Text_Display::highlight_data ( Fl_Text_Buffer styleBuffer,
const Style_Table_Entry styleTable,
int  nStyles,
char  unfinishedStyle,
Unfinished_Style_Cb  unfinishedHighlightCB,
void *  cbArg 
)

Attach (or remove) highlight information in text display and redisplay.

Highlighting information consists of a style buffer which parallels the normal text buffer, but codes font and color information for the display; a style table which translates style buffer codes (indexed by buffer character - 'A') into fonts and colors; and a callback mechanism for as-needed highlighting, triggered by a style buffer entry of "unfinishedStyle". Style buffer can trigger additional redisplay during a normal buffer modification if the buffer contains a primary Fl_Text_Selection (see extend_range_for_styles() for more information on this protocol).

Style buffers, tables and their associated memory are managed by the caller.

Styles are ranged from 65 ('A') to 126.

Note
Style information in the style buffer must have the same byte offset as the corresponding character in the text buffer. UTF-8 characters can have a maximum length of four bytes. Style information must take this into account and fill the unused bytes with 0. See fl_utf8len().

Text: "*g* r &uuml; *n*" , where normal style is 'A', and bold is 'B'

Text Buffer(hex): 67 72 c3 bc 6e : gr..n
Style Buffer(hex): 42 41 41 00 42 : BAA.B

◆ in_selection()

int Fl_Text_Display::in_selection ( int  X,
int  Y 
) const

Check if a pixel position is within the primary selection.

Parameters
X,Ypixel position to test
Returns
1 if position (X, Y) is inside of the primary Fl_Text_Selection

◆ insert()

void Fl_Text_Display::insert ( const char *  text)

Inserts "text" at the current cursor location.

This has the same effect as inserting the text into the buffer using insert(insert_position(),text) and then moving the insert position after the newly inserted text, except that it's optimized to do less redrawing.

Parameters
textnew text in UTF-8 encoding.

◆ insert_position() [1/2]

int Fl_Text_Display::insert_position ( ) const
inline

Gets the position of the text insertion cursor for text display.

The insert position is the byte count (offset) from the beginning of the text buffer (starting with 0). Returns 0 (zero) if no buffer is associated to the text display. Returns buffer()->length() if the insert position is at the end of the buffer.

Returns
insert position index into text buffer
See also
insert_position(int)

◆ insert_position() [2/2]

void Fl_Text_Display::insert_position ( int  newPos)

Sets the position of the text insertion cursor for text display.

Moves the insertion cursor in front of the character at newPos. This function may trigger a redraw.

Parameters
newPosnew caret position

◆ line_end()

int Fl_Text_Display::line_end ( int  startPos,
bool  startPosIsLineStart 
) const

Returns the end of a line.

Same as buffer()->line_end(startPos), but takes into account line breaks when wrapping is turned on. If the caller knows that startPos is at a line start, it can pass startPosIsLineStart as True to make the call more efficient by avoiding the additional step of scanning back to the last newline.

Note that the definition of the end of a line is less clear when continuous wrap is on. With continuous wrap off, it's just a pointer to the newline that ends the line. When it's on, it's the character beyond the last displayable character on the line, where a whitespace character which has been "converted" to a newline for wrapping is not considered displayable. Also note that a line can be wrapped at a non-whitespace character if the line had no whitespace. In this case, this routine returns a pointer to the start of the next line. This is also consistent with the model used by visLineLength.

Parameters
startPosindex to starting character
startPosIsLineStartavoid scanning back to the line start
Returns
new position as index

◆ line_start()

int Fl_Text_Display::line_start ( int  pos) const

Return the beginning of a line.

Same as buffer()->line_start(pos), but returns the character after last wrap point rather than the last newline.

Parameters
posindex to starting character
Returns
new position as index

◆ linenumber_align()

void Fl_Text_Display::linenumber_align ( Fl_Align  val)

Set alignment for line numbers (if enabled).

Valid values are FL_ALIGN_LEFT, FL_ALIGN_CENTER or FL_ALIGN_RIGHT.

Version
1.3.3

◆ linenumber_format()

void Fl_Text_Display::linenumber_format ( const char *  val)

Sets the printf() style format string used for line numbers.

Default is "%d" for normal unpadded decimal integers.

An internal copy of val is allocated and managed; it is automatically freed whenever a new value is assigned, or when the widget is destroyed.

The value of val must not be NULL.

Example values:

- "%d"   -- For normal line numbers without padding (Default)
- "%03d" -- For 000 padding
- "%x"   -- For hexadecimal line numbers
- "%o"   -- For octal line numbers
Version
1.3.3

Parameters
widthThe new width of the area for line numbers to appear, in pixels. 0 disables line numbers (default)

◆ longest_vline()

int Fl_Text_Display::longest_vline ( ) const
protected

Find the longest line of all visible lines.

Returns
the width of the longest visible line in pixels

◆ maintain_absolute_top_line_number()

void Fl_Text_Display::maintain_absolute_top_line_number ( int  state)
protected

Line numbering stuff, currently unused.

In continuous wrap mode, internal line numbers are calculated after wrapping. A separate non-wrapped line count is maintained when line numbering is turned on. There is some performance cost to maintaining this line count, so normally absolute line numbers are not tracked if line numbering is off. This routine allows callers to specify that they still want this line count maintained (for use via Fl_Text_Display::position_to_linecol()). More specifically, this allows the line number reported in the statistics line to be calibrated in absolute lines, rather than post-wrapped lines.

◆ maintaining_absolute_top_line_number()

int Fl_Text_Display::maintaining_absolute_top_line_number ( ) const
protected

Returns true if a separate absolute top line number is being maintained.

The absolute top line number is used for displaying line numbers in continuous wrap mode or showing in the statistics line (the latter is currently not available in FLTK).

◆ measure_deleted_lines()

void Fl_Text_Display::measure_deleted_lines ( int  pos,
int  nDeleted 
)
protected

Wrapping calculations.

This is a stripped-down version of the findWrapRange() function above, intended to be used to calculate the number of "deleted" lines during a buffer modification. It is called before the modification takes place.

This function should only be called in continuous wrap mode with a non-fixed font width. In that case, it is impossible to calculate the number of deleted lines, because the necessary style information is no longer available after the modification. In other cases, we can still perform the calculation afterwards (possibly even more efficiently).

Parameters
pos
nDeleted

◆ measure_proportional_character()

double Fl_Text_Display::measure_proportional_character ( const char *  s,
int  xPix,
int  pos 
) const
protected

Wrapping calculations.

Measure the width in pixels of the first character of string "s" at a particular column "colNum" and buffer position "pos". This is for measuring characters in proportional or mixed-width highlighting fonts.

A note about proportional and mixed-width fonts: the mixed width and proportional font code in nedit does not get much use in general editing, because nedit doesn't allow per-language-mode fonts, and editing programs in a proportional font is usually a bad idea, so very few users would choose a proportional font as a default. There are still probably mixed- width syntax highlighting cases where things don't redraw properly for insertion/deletion, though static display and wrapping and resizing should now be solid because they are now used for online help display.

Parameters
stext string
xPixx pixel position needed for calculating tab widths
posoffset within string
Returns
width of character in pixels

◆ measure_vline()

int Fl_Text_Display::measure_vline ( int  visLineNum) const
protected

Returns the width in pixels of the displayed line pointed to by "visLineNum".

Parameters
visLineNumindex into visible lines array
Returns
width of line in pixels

◆ move_down()

int Fl_Text_Display::move_down ( )

Moves the current insert position down one line.

Returns
1 if the cursor moved, 0 if the beginning of the text was reached

◆ move_left()

int Fl_Text_Display::move_left ( )

Moves the current insert position left one character.

Returns
1 if the cursor moved, 0 if the beginning of the text was reached

◆ move_right()

int Fl_Text_Display::move_right ( )

Moves the current insert position right one character.

Returns
1 if the cursor moved, 0 if the end of the text was reached

◆ move_up()

int Fl_Text_Display::move_up ( )

Moves the current insert position up one line.

Returns
1 if the cursor moved, 0 if the beginning of the text was reached

◆ offset_line_starts()

void Fl_Text_Display::offset_line_starts ( int  newTopLineNum)
protected

Offset line start counters for a new vertical scroll position.

Offset the line starts array, mTopLineNum, mFirstChar and lastChar, for a new vertical scroll position given by newTopLineNum. If any currently displayed lines will still be visible, salvage the line starts values, otherwise, count lines from the nearest known line start (start or end of buffer, or the closest value in the mLineStarts array)

Parameters
newTopLineNumindex into buffer

◆ overstrike()

void Fl_Text_Display::overstrike ( const char *  text)

Replaces text at the current insert position.

Parameters
textnew text in UTF-8 encoding
Todo:
Unicode? Find out exactly what we do here and simplify.

◆ position_style()

int Fl_Text_Display::position_style ( int  lineStartPos,
int  lineLen,
int  lineIndex 
) const

Find the correct style for a character.

Determine the drawing method to use to draw a specific character from "buf".

lineStartPos gives the character index where the line begins, lineIndex, the number of characters past the beginning of the line, and lineLen the number of displayed characters past the beginning of the line. Passing lineStartPos of -1 returns the drawing style for "no text".

Why not just: position_style(pos)? Because style applies to blank areas of the window beyond the text boundaries, and because this routine must also decide whether a position is inside of a rectangular Fl_Text_Selection, and do so efficiently, without re-counting character positions from the start of the line.

Note that style is a somewhat incorrect name, drawing method would be more appropriate.

If lineIndex is pointing to the last character in a line, and the second to last character has the ATTR_BGCOLOR_EXT set, the background color will extend into the remaining line.

Parameters
lineStartPosbeginning of this line
lineLennumber of bytes in line
lineIndexposition of character within line
Returns
style for the given character

◆ position_to_line()

int Fl_Text_Display::position_to_line ( int  pos,
int *  lineNum 
) const
protected

Convert a position index into a line number offset.

Find the line number of position pos relative to the first line of displayed text, counting from 0 to visible lines - 1. The line number is returned in lineNum.

Returns 0 if the line is not displayed. In this case lineNum is 0 as well.

Returns 1 if the line is displayed. In this case lineNum is the relative line number.

Parameters
[in]posbyte position in buffer
[out]lineNumrelative line number of byte pos in buffer
Returns
whether the character at byte position pos is currently displayed
Return values
0pos is not displayed; lineNum is invalid (zero)
1pos is displayed; lineNum is valid

◆ position_to_linecol()

int Fl_Text_Display::position_to_linecol ( int  pos,
int *  lineNum,
int *  column 
) const
protected

Find the line and column number of position pos.

This only works for displayed lines. If the line is not displayed, the function returns 0 (without the mLineStarts array it could turn in to very long calculation involving scanning large amounts of text in the buffer). If continuous wrap mode is on, returns the absolute line number (as opposed to the wrapped line number which is used for scrolling).

Parameters
poscharacter index
[out]lineNumabsolute (unwrapped) line number
[out]columncharacter offset to the beginning of the line
Returns
0 if pos is off screen, line number otherwise
Todo:
a column number makes little sense in the UTF-8/variable font width environment. We will have to further define what exactly we want to return. Please check the functions that call this particular function.

◆ position_to_xy()

int Fl_Text_Display::position_to_xy ( int  pos,
int *  X,
int *  Y 
) const

Convert a character index into a pixel position.

Translate a buffer text position to the XY location where the top left of the cursor would be positioned to point to that character. Returns 0 if the position is not displayed because it is vertically out of view. If the position is horizontally out of view, returns the X coordinate where the position would be if it were visible.

Parameters
poscharacter index
[out]X,Ypixel position of character on screen
Returns
0 if character vertically out of view, X & Y positions otherwise

◆ redisplay_range()

void Fl_Text_Display::redisplay_range ( int  startpos,
int  endpos 
)

Marks text from start to end as needing a redraw.

This function will trigger a damage event and later a redraw of parts of the widget.

Parameters
startposindex of first character needing redraw
endposindex after last character needing redraw

◆ reset_absolute_top_line_number()

void Fl_Text_Display::reset_absolute_top_line_number ( )
protected

Reestablish the absolute (non-wrapped) top line number.

Count lines from the beginning of the buffer to reestablish the absolute (non-wrapped) top line number. If mode is not continuous wrap, or the number is not being maintained, does nothing.

◆ resize()

void Fl_Text_Display::resize ( int  X,
int  Y,
int  W,
int  H 
)
virtual

Change the size of the displayed text area.

Calling this function will trigger a recalculation of all visible lines and of all scrollbar sizes.

◆ rewind_lines()

int Fl_Text_Display::rewind_lines ( int  startPos,
int  nLines

Returns
new position as index

◆ scroll()

void Fl_Text_Display::scroll ( int  topLineNum,
int  horizOffset 
)

Scrolls the current buffer to start at the specified line and column.

Parameters
topLineNumtop line number

int  horizOffset 
)
protected

Scrolls the current buffer to start at the specified line and column.

Parameters
topLineNumtop line number

◆ scroll_timer_cb()

void Fl_Text_Display::scroll_timer_cb ( void *  user_data)
staticprotected

Timer callback for scroll events.

This timer event scrolls the text view proportionally to how far the mouse pointer has left the text area. This allows for smooth scrolling without "wiggeling" the mouse.

◆ scrollbar_align() [1/2]

Fl_Align Fl_Text_Display::scrollbar_align ( ) const
inline

Gets the scrollbar alignment type.

Returns
scrollbar alignment

◆ scrollbar_align() [2/2]

Parameters
anew scrollbar alignment

◆ scrollbar_size() [1/2]

int Fl_Text_Display::scrollbar_size ( void  ) const
inline

Gets the current size of the scrollbars' troughs, in pixels.

If this value is zero (default), this widget will use the Fl::scrollbar_size() value as the scrollbar's width.

Returns
Scrollbar size in pixels, or 0 if the global Fl::scrollbar_size() is being used.
See also
Fl::scrollbar_size(int)

◆ scrollbar_size() [2/2]

void Fl_Text_Display::scrollbar_size ( int  newSize)
inline

Sets the pixel size of the scrollbars' troughs to newSize, in pixels.

Normally you should not need this method, and should use Fl::scrollbar_size(int) instead to manage the size of ALL your widgets' scrollbars. This ensures your application has a consistent UI, is the default behavior, and is normally what you want.

Only use THIS method if you really need to override the global scrollbar size. The need for this should be rare.

Setting newSize to the special value of 0 causes the widget to track the global Fl::scrollbar_size(), which is the default.

Parameters
[in]newSizeSets the scrollbar size in pixels.
If 0 (default), scrollbar size tracks the global Fl::scrollbar_size()
See also
Fl::scrollbar_size()

int  nLines,
bool  startPosIsLineStart 
)

Skip a number of lines forward.

Same as Fl_Text_Buffer::skip_lines(startPos, nLines), but takes into account line breaks when wrapping is turned on.

index of first character after the end of the word

◆ word_start()

int Fl_Text_Display::word_start ( int  pos) const
inline

Parameters
posstart calculation at this index
Returns
beginning of the words

◆ wrap_mode()

void Fl_Text_Display::wrap_mode ( int  wrap,
int  wrapMargin 
)

Set the new text wrap mode.

If wrap mode is not zero, this call enables automatic word wrapping at column wrapMargin. Word-wrapping does not change the text buffer itself, only the way the text is displayed. Different Text Displays can have different wrap modes, even if they share the same Text Buffer.

Valid wrap modes are:

  • WRAP_NONE : don't wrap text at all
  • WRAP_AT_COLUMN : wrap text at the given text column
  • WRAP_AT_PIXEL : wrap text at a pixel position
  • WRAP_AT_BOUNDS : wrap text so that it fits into the widget width
Parameters
wrapnew wrap mode (see above)
wrapMarginin WRAP_AT_COLUMN mode, text will wrap at the n'th character. For variable width fonts, an average character width is calculated. The column width is calculated using the current textfont or the first style when this function is called. If the font size changes, this function must be called again. In WRAP_AT_PIXEL mode, this is the pixel position.

◆ wrap_uses_character()

int Fl_Text_Display::wrap_uses_character ( int  lineEndPos) const
protected

Check if the line break is caused by a newline or by line wrapping.

Line breaks in continuous wrap mode usually happen at newlines (\n) or whitespace. This line-terminating character is not included in line width measurements and has a special status as a non-visible character. However, lines with no whitespace are wrapped without the benefit of a line terminating character, and this distinction causes endless trouble with all of the text display code which was originally written without continuous wrap mode and always expects to wrap at a newline character.

Given the position of the end of the line, as returned by Fl_Text_Display::line_end() or Fl_Text_Buffer::line_end(), this returns true if there is a line terminating character, and false if there's not. On the last character in the buffer, this function can't tell for certain whether a trailing space was used as a wrap point, and just guesses that it wasn't. So if an exact accounting is necessary, don't use this function.

Parameters
lineEndPosindex of character where the line wraps
Returns
1 if a \n character causes the line wrap

◆ wrapped_column()

int Fl_Text_Display::wrapped_column ( int  row,
int  column 
) const

Nobody knows what this function does.

Correct a column number based on an unconstrained position (as returned by TextDXYToUnconstrainedPosition) to be relative to the last actual newline in the buffer before the row and column position given, rather than the last line start created by line wrapping. This is an adapter for rectangular selections and code written before continuous wrap mode, which thinks that the unconstrained column is the number of characters from the last newline. Obviously this is time consuming, because it invloves character re-counting.

Parameters
row
column
Returns
something unknown
Todo:
What does this do and how is it useful? Column numbers mean little in this context. Which functions depend on this one? Function TextDXYToUnconstrainedPosition does not exist (nedit port?)
Todo:
Unicode?

◆ wrapped_line_counter()

void Fl_Text_Display::wrapped_line_counter ( Fl_Text_Buffer buf,
int  startPos,
int  maxPos,
int  maxLines,
bool  startPosIsLineStart,
int  styleBufOffset,
int *  retPos,
int *  retLines,
int *  retLineStart,
int *  retLineEnd,
bool  countLastLineMissingNewLine = true 
) const
protected

Wrapping calculations.

Count forward from startPos to either maxPos or maxLines (whichever is reached first), and return all relevant positions and line count. The provided textBuffer may differ from the actual text buffer of the widget. In that case it must be a (partial) copy of the actual text buffer and the styleBufOffset argument must indicate the starting position of the copy, to take into account the correct style information.

Parameters
[in]bufThe text buffer to operate on
[in]startPosStarting index position into the buffer
[in]maxPosMaximum index position into the buffer we'll reach
[in]maxLinesMaximum number of lines we'll reach
[in]startPosIsLineStartFlag indicating if startPos is start of line. (If set, prevents our having to find the line start)
[in]styleBufOffsetOffset index position into style buffer.
[out]retPosPosition where counting ended. When counting lines, the position returned is the start of the line "maxLines" lines beyond "startPos".
[out]retLinesNumber of line breaks counted
[out]retLineStartStart of the line where counting ended
[out]retLineEndEnd position of the last line traversed
[out]countLastLineMissingNewLine

◆ wrapped_row()

int Fl_Text_Display::wrapped_row ( int  row) const

Nobody knows what this function does.

Correct a row number from an unconstrained position (as returned by TextDXYToUnconstrainedPosition) to a straight number of newlines from the top line of the display. Because rectangular selections are based on newlines, rather than display wrapping, and anywhere a rectangular selection needs a row, it needs it in terms of un-wrapped lines.

Parameters
row
Returns
something unknown
Todo:
What does this do and how is it useful? Column numbers mean little in this context. Which functions depend on this one? Function TextDXYToUnconstrainedPosition does not exist (nedit port?)

◆ x_to_col()

◆ xy_to_position()

int Fl_Text_Display::xy_to_position ( int  X,
int  Y,
int  posType = CHARACTER_POS 
) const
protected

Translate a pixel position into a character index.

Translate window coordinates to the nearest (insert cursor or character cell) text position. The parameter posType specifies how to interpret the position: CURSOR_POS means translate the coordinates to the nearest cursor position, and CHARACTER_POS means return the position of the character closest to (X, Y).

int *  row,
int *  column,
int  posType = CHARACTER_POS 
) const

Translate pixel coordinates into row and column.

Translate window coordinates to the nearest row and column number for positioning the cursor. This, of course, makes no sense when the font is proportional, since there are no absolute columns. The parameter posType specifies how to interpret the position: CURSOR_POS means translate the coordinates to the nearest position between characters, and CHARACTER_POS means translate the position to the nearest character cell.

Parameters
