@definterface/title[editor<%> ()]{

The @scheme[editor<%>] interface is implemented by @scheme[text%] and
 @scheme[pasteboard%].

@defmethod[(add-canvas [canvas (is-a?/c editor-canvas%)])
           void?]{

Adds a canvas to this editor's list of displaying canvases. (See
@method[editor<%> get-canvases].)

Normally, this method is called only by @xmethod[editor-canvas%
 set-editor].

}

@defmethod[(add-undo [undoer (-> any)])
           void?]{

Adds an undoer procedure to the editor's undo stack. If an undo is
 currently being performed, the undoer is added to the editor's redo
 stack. The undoer is called by the system when it is undoing (or
 redoing) changes to an editor, and when this undoer is the first item
 on the undo (or redo) stack.

The system automatically installs undo records to undo built-in editor
 operations, such as inserts, deletes, and font changes.  Install an
 undoer only when it is necessary to maintain state or handle
 operations that are not built-in. For example, in a program where the
 user can assign labels to snips in a pasteboard, the program should
 install an undoer to revert a label change. Thus, when a user changes
 a snip's label and then selects @onscreen{Undo} (from a standard menu
 bar), the snip's label will revert as expected. In contrast, there is
 no need to install an undoer when the user moves a snip by dragging
 it, because the system installs an appropriate undoer automatically.

After an undoer returns, the undoer is popped off the editor's undo
 (or redo) stack; if the return value is true, then the next undoer is
 also executed as part of the same undo (or redo) step.  The undoer
 should return true if the action being undone was originally
 performed as part of a @method[editor<%> begin-edit-sequence] and
 @method[editor<%> end-edit-sequence] sequence. The return value
 should also be true if the undone action was implicitly part of a
 sequence. To extend the previous example, if a label change is paired
 with a move to realign the snip, then the label-change undoer should
 be added to the editor @italic{after} the call to @method[pasteboard%
 move], and it should return @scheme[#t] when it is called. As a
 result, the move will be undone immediately after the label change is
 undone. (If the opposite order is needed, use @method[editor<%>
 begin-edit-sequence] and @method[editor<%> end-edit-sequence] to
 create an explicit sequence.)

The system adds undoers to an editor (in response to other method
 calls) without calling this method.

}

@defmethod[(adjust-cursor [event (is-a?/c mouse-event%)])
           (or/c (is-a?/c cursor%) #f)]{

@methspec{

Gets a cursor to be used in the editor's @techlink{display}.  If the
 return value is @scheme[#f], a default cursor is used.

See also @method[editor<%> set-cursor].

}
@methimpl{

If an overriding cursor has been installed with
@method[editor<%> set-cursor], then the installed cursor is returned.

Otherwise, if the event is a dragging event, a snip in the editor has
the focus, and the snip's
@method[snip% adjust-cursor] method returns a cursor, that cursor is returned.

Otherwise, if the cursor is over a snip and the snip's
@method[snip% adjust-cursor] method returns a cursor, that cursor is returned.

Otherwise, if a cursor has been installed with
@method[editor<%> set-cursor], then the installed cursor is returned.

Otherwise, if the cursor is over a clickback region in an editor, an
arrow cursor is returned.

Finally, if none of the above cases apply, a default cursor is
returned. For a text editor, the default cursor is an I-beam. For a
pasteboard editor, the default cursor is an arrow.

              boolean?]
             [(auto-wrap [auto-wrap? any/c])
              void?])]{

Enables or disables automatically calling @method[editor<%>
set-max-width] in response to @method[editor<%> on-display-size], or
gets the state of auto-wrapping. For text editors, this has the effect
of wrapping the editor's contents to fit in a canvas displaying the
editor (the widest one if multiple canvases display the editor). For
pasteboard editors, ``auto-wrapping'' merely truncates the area of the
pasteboard to match its canvas @techlink{display}.

When the wrapping mode is changed, the @method[editor<%>
on-display-size] method is called immediately to update the editor's
maximum width.

Auto-wrapping is initially disabled.

           void?]{

@methspec{

The @method[editor<%> begin-edit-sequence] and @method[editor<%>
 end-edit-sequence] methods are used to bracket a set of editor
 modifications so that the results are all displayed at once. The
 commands may be nested arbitrarily deep. Using these functions can
 greatly speed up displaying the changes.

When an editor contains other editors, using @method[editor<%>
 begin-edit-sequence] and @method[editor<%> end-edit-sequence] on the
 main editor brackets some changes to the sub-editors as well, but it
 is not as effective when a sub-editor changes as calling
 @method[editor<%> begin-edit-sequence] and @method[editor<%>
 end-edit-sequence] for the sub-editor.

See also @method[editor<%> refresh-delayed?] and @method[editor<%>
 in-edit-sequence?], and see @secref["editorthreads"] for
 information about edit sequences and refresh requests.

If the @scheme[undoable?] flag is @scheme[#f], then the changes made
 in the sequence cannot be reversed through the @method[editor<%>
 undo] method. This flag is only effective for the outermost
 @method[editor<%> begin-edit-sequence] when nested sequences are
 used. Note that, for a @scheme[text%] object, the character-inserting
 version of @method[text% insert] interferes with sequence-based undo
 groupings.

If the @scheme[interrupt-streak?] flag is @scheme[#f] and the sequence is
 outermost, then special actions before and after the sequence count
 as consecutive actions. For example, kills just before and after the
 sequence are appended in the copy buffer.

}
@methimpl{

Starts a sequence.

Loads a file into the editor and returns @scheme[#t]. If an error

If @scheme[filename] is @scheme[#f], then the
internally stored filename will be used; if @scheme[filename] is @scheme[""] or
if the internal name is unset or temporary, then the user will be
prompted for a name.  

The possible values for @scheme[format] are listed below. A single set of
@scheme[format] values are used for loading and saving files:

@itemize[

@item{@scheme['guess] --- guess the format based on
extension and/or contents; when saving a file, this is the same as
@scheme['standard]}

@item{@scheme['same] --- read in whatever format was last loaded or saved}

@item{@scheme['standard] --- read/write a standard file (binary format)}

@item{@scheme['copy] --- write using whatever format was last loaded
 or saved, but do not change the modification flag or remember
 @scheme[filename] (saving only)}

@item{@scheme['text] --- read/write a text file (@scheme[text%] only);
 file writing uses the platform's text-mode conventions
 (e.g., newlines as return--linefeed combinations under Windows) when
 not specifically disabled via @method[editor<%> use-file-text-mode]}

@item{@scheme['text-force-cr] --- read/write a text file
(@scheme[text%] only); when writing, change automatic newlines (from
word-wrapping) into real carriage returns}

In a @scheme[text%] instance, the format returned from @method[text%

 or @scheme['text-force-cr].

The @scheme[show-errors?] argument is no longer used.

The filename used to load the file can be retrieved with
 @method[editor<%> get-filename]. For a @scheme[text%] instance, the
 format can be retrieved with @method[text% get-file-format]. However,

           (on-edit-sequence)
           void?]{

@methspec{

Called just after a top-level (i.e., unnested) edit sequence starts.

During an edit sequence, all callbacks methods are invoked normally,
 but it may be appropriate for these callbacks to delay computation
 during an edit sequence. The callbacks must manage this delay
 manually. Thus, when overriding other callback methods, such as
 @xmethod[text% on-insert], @xmethod[pasteboard% on-insert],
 @xmethod[text% after-insert], or @xmethod[pasteboard% after-insert],
 consider overriding @method[editor<%> on-edit-sequence] and
 @method[editor<%> after-edit-sequence] as well.

``Top-level edit sequence'' refers to an outermost pair of
 @method[editor<%> begin-edit-sequence] and @method[editor<%>
 end-edit-sequence] calls. The embedding of an editor within another
 editor does not affect the timing of calls to @method[editor<%>
 on-edit-sequence], even if the embedding editor is in an edit
 sequence.

Pairings of @method[editor<%> on-edit-sequence] and @method[editor<%>
 after-edit-sequence] can be nested if an @method[editor<%>
 after-edit-sequence] starts a new edit sequence, since
 @method[editor<%> after-edit-sequence] is called after an edit
 sequence ends. However, @method[editor<%> on-edit-sequence] can never
 start a new top-level edit sequence (except through an unpaired
 @method[editor<%> end-edit-sequence]), because it is called after a
 top-level edit sequence starts.

           void?]{
@methspec{

Provides a way to add arbitrary graphics to an editor's @techlink{display}.  This
 method is called just before and just after every painting of the
 editor.

The @scheme[before?] argument is @scheme[#t] when the method is called just
 before a painting the contents of the editor or @scheme[#f] when it is
 called after painting. The @scheme[left], @scheme[top], @scheme[right], and
 @scheme[bottom] arguments specify which region of the editor is being
 repainted, in editor coordinates. To get the coordinates for
 @scheme[dc], offset editor coordinates by adding (@scheme[dx], @scheme[dy]).
 See @|drawcaretdiscuss| for information about @scheme[draw-caret].

The @method[editor<%> on-paint] method, together with the snips'
 @method[snip% draw] methods, must be able to draw the entire state of
 an editor.  Never paint directly into an editor's @techlink{display}
 canvas except from within @method[editor<%> on-paint] or
 @method[snip% draw]. Instead, put all extra drawing code within
 @method[editor<%> on-paint] and call @method[editor<%>
 invalidate-bitmap-cache] when part of the @techlink{display} needs to
 be repainted.

If an @method[editor<%> on-paint] method uses cached
 @techlink{location} information, then the cached information should
 be recomputed in response to a call of @method[editor<%>
 invalidate-bitmap-cache].

The @method[editor<%> on-paint] method must not make any assumptions
 about the state of the drawing context (e.g., the current pen),
 except that the clipping region is already set to something
 appropriate. Before @method[editor<%> on-paint] returns, it must
 restore any drawing context settings that it changes.

The editor is internally locked for writing and reflowing during a
 call to this method (see also @|lockdiscuss|).

Called just before the editor is saved to a file, after calling
@method[editor<%> can-save-file?] to verify that the save is
allowed. See also @method[editor<%> after-save-file].

The @scheme[filename] argument is the name the file will be saved

@methspec{

This method is called whenever a snip within the editor reports that
 it has been modified (by calling its adminstrator's
 @method[snip-admin% modified] method). The method arguments are the
 snip that reported a modification-state change, and the snip's new
 modification state.

If @scheme[modified?] is true and the editor was not already modified
 (i.e., its @method[editor<%> is-modified?]  method reports
 @scheme[#f]), then the @method[editor<%> set-modified] method is
 called with @scheme[#t]. If the editor was already modified, then the
 internal modify-counter is incremented.

If @scheme[modified?] is @scheme[#f], and if the modify-counter is
 @scheme[1], then the @method[editor<%> set-modified] method is called
 with @scheme[#f] (on the assumption that the modify-counter was set
 to @scheme[1] by an earlier call to this method for the same snip).

Pastes the current contents of the clipboard into the editor.

 @scheme[time] is outside the platform-specific range of times,
 @|MismatchExn|.

The system may execute a paste (in response to other method calls)
 without calling this method. To extend or re-implement copying,
 override the @xmethod[text% do-paste] or @xmethod[pasteboard%
 do-paste] method.

See also @method[editor<%> get-paste-text-only].

                  [as-eps? any/c #f])
           void?]{

Prints the editor. 

If @scheme[interactive?] is true and a PostScript file is created, the
 is given a dialog for adjusting printing parameters; see also
 @scheme[get-ps-setup-from-user]. Otherwise, if a PostScript file is
 created, the settings returned by @scheme[current-ps-setup] are
 used. (The user may still get a dialog to select an output file name;
 see @scheme[post-script-dc%] for more details.)

If @scheme[fit-on-page?] is a true value, then during printing for a
 @scheme[text%] editor, the editor's maximum width is set to the width
 of the page (less margins) and the autowrapping bitmap is removed.

The @scheme[output-mode] setting is used for Windows and Mac OS X. It
 determines whether the output is generated directly as a PostScript
 file (using Racket's built-in PostScript system) or generated
 using the platform-specific standard printing mechanism. The possible
 values are

@itemize[

 @item{@scheme['standard] --- print using the platform-standard
 mechanism (via a @scheme[printer-dc%]) under Windows and
 Mac OS X, PostScript for Unix (via a @scheme[post-script-dc%])}

 @item{@scheme['postscript] --- print to a PostScript file (via a
 @scheme[post-script-dc%])}

]

If @scheme[parent] is not @scheme[#f], it is used as the parent window
 for configuration dialogs (for either PostScript or platform-standard
 printing). If @scheme[parent] is @scheme[#f] and if the editor is
 displayed in a single canvas, then the canvas's top-level frame is
 used as the parent for configuration dialogs. Otherwise,
 configuration dialogs will have no parent.

The @scheme[force-ps-page-bbox?] argument is used for PostScript
 printing, and is used as the third initialization argument when
 creating the @scheme[post-script-dc%] instance. Unless it is
 @scheme[#f], the bounding-box of the resulting PostScript file is set
 to the current paper size.

The @scheme[as-eps?] argument is used for PostScript printing, and is
 used as the fourth initialization argument when creating the
 @scheme[post-script-dc%] instance. Unless it is @scheme[#f], the
 resulting PostScript file is identified as Encapsulated PostScript
 (EPS).

The printing margins are determined by @method[ps-setup%
 get-editor-margin] in the current @scheme[ps-setup%] object (as
 determined by @scheme[current-ps-setup]).

@defmethod[(print-to-dc [dc (is-a?/c dc<%>)]
                        [page-number exact-integer? -1])
           void?]{

Prints the editor into the given drawing context. See also
 @method[editor<%> print].

If @scheme[page-number] is a non-negative integer, then just the
indicated page is printed, where pages are numbered from
@scheme[1]. (So, supplying @scheme[0] as @scheme[page-number] produces
no output.) When @scheme[page-number] is negative, the
@method[dc<%> start-page] and @scheme[dc<%> end-page] methods of @scheme[dc] are
called for each page.

}


@defmethod[(put-file [directory (or/c path? #f)]
                     [default-name (or/c path? #f)])
           (or/c path-string? #f)]{
@methspec{

Called when the user must be queried for a filename to save an
 editor. Starting-directory and default-name paths are passed in,
 but either may be @scheme[#f] to indicate that any directory is fine or
 there is no default name.

Note that the @scheme[directory] and @scheme[filename] arguments
 cannot be strings; each must be a path value.

}
@methimpl{

Calls the global @scheme[put-file] procedure.

If the editor is displayed in a single canvas, then the canvas's
 top-level frame is used as the parent for the file dialog. Otherwise,
 the file dialog will have no parent.

           boolean?]{

Reads new contents for the editor from a stream. The return value is
 @scheme[#t] if there are no errors, @scheme[#f] otherwise. See also
 @|filediscuss|.

The stream provides either new mappings for names in the editor's
 style list, or it indicates that the editor should share a
 previously-read style list (depending on how style lists were shared
 when the editor was written to the stream; see also @method[editor<%>
 write-to-file]).

@itemize[

 @item{In the former case, if the @scheme[overwrite-styles?] argument
 is @scheme[#f], then each style name in the loaded file that is already

           boolean?]{

Called to handle a named header that is found when reading editor data
 from a stream. The return value is @scheme[#t] if there are no errors,
 @scheme[#f] otherwise.

Override this method only to embellish the file format with new header
 information. Always call the inherited method if the derived reader
 does not recognize the header.

See also @|filediscuss|.
}


@defmethod[(redo)
           void?]{

Undoes the last undo, if no other changes have been made since. See
 @method[editor<%> undo] for information about Emacs-style undo.  If
 the editor is currently performing an undo or redo, the method call
 is ignored.

The system may perform a redo without calling this method in response
 to other method calls. Use methods such as
 @method[editor<%> on-change] to monitor editor content changes.

See also @method[editor<%> add-undo].

                    [background (or/c (is-a?/c color%) #f)])
           void?]{

Repaints a region of the editor, generally called by an editor
 administrator. The @scheme[x], @scheme[y], @scheme[width], and
 @scheme[height] arguments specify the area that needs repainting in
 editor coordinates. The @method[editor-admin% get-dc] method of the
 editor's administrator (as returned by @method[editor<%> get-admin])
 supplies the target @scheme[dc<%>] object and offset for drawing.

See @|drawcaretdiscuss| for information about @scheme[draw-caret].

The @scheme[background] color corresponds to the background of the
 @techlink{display}; if it is @scheme[#f], then the display is transparent.
 An editor should use the given background color as its own
 background (or not paint the background of @scheme[background] is
 @scheme[#f]).

See @secref["editorthreads"] for information about edit sequences and
 refresh requests.

}


@defmethod[(refresh-delayed?)
           boolean?]{

Returns @scheme[#t] if updating on this editor is currently
 delayed. Updating may be delayed because @method[editor<%>
 begin-edit-sequence] has been called for this editor, or because the
 editor has no administrator, or because the editor's administrator
 returns @scheme[#t] from its @method[editor-admin% refresh-delayed?]
 method. (The administrator might return @scheme[#t] because an
 enclosing editor's refresh is delayed.)

See also @method[editor<%> in-edit-sequence?].

}


@defmethod[(release-snip [snip (is-a?/c snip%)])
           boolean?]{

Requests that the specified snip be deleted and released from the
 editor. If this editor is not the snip's owner or if the snip cannot
 be released, then @scheme[#f] is returned. Otherwise, @scheme[#t] is
 returned and the snip is no longer owned.

See also @xmethod[snip-admin% release-snip] .

}


@defmethod[(remove-canvas [canvas (is-a?/c editor-canvas%)])
           void?]{

Removes a canvas from this editor's list of displaying canvases. (See
 @method[editor<%> get-canvases].)

Normally, this method is called only by @xmethod[editor-canvas%
 set-editor].

}


@defmethod[(resized [snip (is-a?/c snip%)]
                    [redraw-now? any/c])
           void?]{

Called (indirectly) by snips within the editor: it forces a
 recalculation of the display information in which the specified snip
 has changed its size.

If @scheme[redraw-now?] is @scheme[#f], the editor will require
 another message to repaint itself. (See also @method[editor<%>
 needs-update].)

                      [show-errors? any/c #t])
           boolean?]{

Saves the editor into a file and returns @scheme[#t].  If an error
 occurs, an exception is raised.

If @scheme[filename] is @scheme[#f], then the internally stored filename
 will be used; if @scheme[filename] is @scheme[""] or if the internal name
 is unset or temporary, then the user will be prompted for a name.
 The possible values for @scheme[format] are described at
@method[editor<%> load-file]. 

The filename and format used to save the file can be retrieved with
 @method[editor<%> get-filename]. In a @scheme[text%] instance, the
 format can be retrieved with @method[text% get-file-format].

See also @method[editor<%> on-save-file], @method[editor<%>
 after-save-file], and @method[editor<%> can-save-file?].

Under Mac OS X, the file's type signature is set to @scheme["TEXT"]
 for a text-format file or @scheme["WXME"] for a standard-format
 (binary) file.

The @scheme[show-errors?] argument is no longer used.

           boolean?]{

Saves the editor into a port and returns @scheme[#t].  If an error
 occurs, an exception is raised.

The possible values for @scheme[format] are described at
@method[editor<%> load-file]. 

The @scheme[show-errors?] argument is no longer used.

                             [bias (or/c 'start 'end 'none)])
           boolean?]{

Causes the editor to be scrolled so that a given @techlink{location}
 is visible. If the editor is scrolled, @scheme[#t] is returned,
 otherwise @scheme[#f] is returned.

This method is normally called indirectly by @method[editor<%>
 scroll-to] or @xmethod[text% scroll-to-position] to implement
 scrolling.

The default implementation forwards the request to the
@method[editor-admin% scroll-to] method of the current administrator,
if any (see @method[editor<%> get-admin]). If the editor has no
administrator, @scheme[#f] is returned.

           boolean?]{

Called (indirectly) by snips within the editor: it causes the editor
 to be scrolled so that a given @techlink{location} range within a
 given snip is visible. If the editor is scrolled immediately,
 @scheme[#t] is returned, otherwise @scheme[#f] is returned.

If refreshing is delayed (see @method[editor<%> refresh-delayed?]),
 then the scroll request is saved until the delay has ended. The
 scroll is performed (immediately or later) by calling
 @method[editor<%> scroll-editor-to].

The @scheme[localx], @scheme[localy], @scheme[width], and @scheme[height]
 arguments specify the area that needs to be visible in @scheme[snip]'s
 coordinate system.

When the specified region cannot fit in the visible area, @scheme[bias]
 indicates which end of the region to display. When @scheme[bias] is
 @scheme['start], then the top-left of the region is
 displayed. When @scheme[bias] is @scheme['end], then the
 bottom-right of the region is displayed. Otherwise, @scheme[bias] must
 be @scheme['none].

           void?]{

Attempts to give the keyboard focus to @scheme[snip].  If @scheme[snip] is
 @scheme[#f], then the caret is taken away from any snip in the editor
 that currently has the caret and restored to this editor.

If the keyboard focus is moved to @scheme[snip] and the editor has the
 real keyboard focus, the @method[snip% own-caret] method of the snip
 will be called.

If @scheme[#f] is provided as the new owner, then the local focus is
 moved to the editor itself. Otherwise, the local focus is moved to
 the specified snip.

The domain of focus-setting is one of:

@itemize[

 @item{@scheme['immediate] --- only set the focus owner within the

           void?]{

Sets the custom cursor for the editor to @scheme[cursor]. If
 @scheme[override?] is a true value and @scheme[cursor] is not
 @scheme[#f], then this cursor overrides cursor settings in embedded
 editors.

If the custom cursor is @scheme[#f], the current cursor is removed,
 and a cursor is selected automatically by the editor (depending on
 whether the cursor is pointing at a clickback). See @method[editor<%>

Sets the filename to @scheme[filename]. If @scheme[filename] is
 @scheme[#f] or @scheme[temporary?] is a true value, then the user
 will still be prompted for a name on future calls to
 @method[editor<%> save-file] and @method[editor<%> load-file].

 text editor, having no maximum disables automatic line breaking,
 and the minimum (positive) maximum width depends on the width of the
 autowrap bitmap.

Setting the width is disallowed when the editor is internally locked
 for reflowing (see also @|lockdiscuss|).

See also @method[text% set-autowrap-bitmap].

}

@defmethod[(set-min-height [width (or/c (and/c real? (not/c negative?)) 'none)])
           void?]{

Sets the minimum display height for the contents of the editor; zero
 or @scheme['none] indicates that there is no minimum.

Setting the height is disallowed when the editor is internally locked
 for reflowing (see also @|lockdiscuss|).

}

@defmethod[(set-min-width [width (or/c (and/c real? (not/c negative?)) 'none)])
           void?]{

Sets the minimum display width for the contents of the editor; zero or
 @scheme['none] indicates that there is no minimum.

Setting the width is disallowed when the editor is internally locked
for reflowing (see also @|lockdiscuss|).

}

@defmethod[(set-modified [modified? any/c])
           void?]{

Sets the modified state of the editor. Usually, the state is changed
 automatically after an insertion, deletion, or style change by
 calling this method. (This method is also called when the
 modification state changes through @italic{any} method.) This method
 is usually not called when the state of the flag is not changing.

See also @method[editor<%> is-modified?] and @method[editor<%>
on-snip-modified].

When @scheme[modified?] is true, then an internal modify-counter is
 set to @scheme[1].

When @scheme[modified?] is @scheme[#f] and the editor's undo or redo
 stack contains a system-created undoer that resets the modified state
 (because the preceding undo or redo action puts the editor back to a
 state where the modification state was @scheme[#f]), the undoer is
 disabled.

Regardless of the value of @scheme[modified?], the editor's
 adminstrator's @method[editor-admin% modified] method is called.

Finally, if @scheme[modified?] is @scheme[#f] and the internal
 modify-counter is set to @scheme[0], then the @method[snip%
 set-unmodified] method is called on every snip within the editor.

}


@defmethod[(set-paste-text-only [text-only? any/c])
           void?]{

Sets whether the editor accepts only text from the clipboard, or both
 text and snips. By default, an editor accepts both text and
 snips.

See also @method[editor<%> get-paste-text-only].

}

@defmethod[(set-snip-data [thesnip (is-a?/c snip%)]
                          [data (is-a?/c editor-data%)])
           void?]{

Sets extra data associated with the snip (e.g., @techlink{location}
 information in a pasteboard). See @|editordatadiscuss| for more
 information.

}


@defmethod[(set-style-list [style-list (is-a?/c style-list%)])
           void?]{

Sets the editor's style list. Styles currently in use with the old
 style list will be ``moved'' to the new style list. In this ``move,''
 if a named style already exists in the new style list, then the new
 style with the same name will be used in place of the old style.

Setting the style list is disallowed when the editor is internally
 locked for reflowing (see also @|lockdiscuss|).

}


@defmethod[(size-cache-invalid)
           void?]{

This method is called when the drawing context given to the editor by
its administrator changes in a way that makes cached size information
(such as the width of a string) invalid.

The default implementation eventually propagates the message to snips,
and, more generally, causes @tech{location} information to be
recalculated on demand.

See also @method[editor<%> invalidate-bitmap-cache].}


@defmethod[(style-has-changed [style (or/c (is-a?/c style<%>) #f)])
           void?]{

Notifies the editor that a style in its style list has changed. This
 method is automatically registered with the editor's style list using
 @xmethod[style-list% notify-on-change] and automatically deregistered
 when the style list is removed from the editor.

See @xmethod[style-list% notify-on-change] for more information.

}


@defmethod[(undo)
           void?]{

Undoes the last editor change, if undos have been enabled by calling
 @method[editor<%> set-max-undo-history] with a non-zero integer.

If the editor is currently performing an undo or redo, the method call
 is ignored.

The user may enable Emacs-style undo for editors; see
 @|mrprefsdiscuss|. Normally, undo operations add to the redo stack
 (see @method[editor<%> redo]), and any undoable (non-undo) operation
 clears the redo stack. With Emacs-style undo, the redo stack is added
 back to the undo stack, along with the original undos, so that a
 complete history is kept in the undo stack.

The system may perform an undo without calling this method in response
 to other method calls. Use methods such as
 @method[editor<%> on-change] to monitor editor content changes.

See also @method[editor<%> add-undo] .

}

@defmethod*[([(use-file-text-mode) boolean?]
             [(use-file-text-mode [on? any/c]) void?])]{

Gets or sets whether the current platform's text mode is used for
writing files in @scheme['text] or @scheme['text-force-cr] mode, which
affects the way that newlines are written. The setting is consulted by
@method[editor<%> save-file] after @method[editor<%> on-save-file] is
called. See also @method[editor<%> load-file] for information on file
modes.

}


@defmethod[(write-footers-to-file [stream (is-a?/c editor-stream-out%)])
           boolean?]{

See @method[editor<%> write-headers-to-file].

}


@defmethod[(write-headers-to-file [stream (is-a?/c editor-stream-out%)])
           boolean?]{

@methspec{

Called when the editor is being saved to a file.  The return value is
 @scheme[#t] if there are no errors, @scheme[#f] otherwise. Override
 this method to add custom header data to a file, but always call the
 inherited method so that it can write its own extra headers.

To write a header item, call @method[editor<%>
 begin-write-header-footer-to-file], passing a box for an
 integer. Then write the header data and end by calling
 @method[editor<%> end-write-header-footer-to-file], passing back the
 integer that was put into the box.  Follow this procedure correctly
 or the file will be corrupted.

}
@methimpl{

Does nothing.

}}

@defmethod[(write-to-file [stream (is-a?/c editor-stream-out%)])
           boolean?]{

Writes the current editor contents to the given stream.  The return
 value is @scheme[#t] if there are no errors, @scheme[#f] otherwise. See
 also @|filediscuss|.

If the editor's style list has already been written to the stream, it
 is not re-written. Instead, the editor content indicates that the
 editor shares a previously-written style list. This sharing will be
 recreated when the stream is later read.
