_texpict_ is a Racket/GRacket library for creating pictures using a
GRacket dc<%> (including post-script-dc% for _PostScript_ output) or
_LaTeX_ as the back-end. The two back-ends are incompatible; picts
must be created for one or the other. The library was originally
designed for LaTeX output, hence the name.

Pictures are created as `pict' structures. Some procedures in the
texpict library create new simple picts (e.g., `hline'). Others build
new picts out of existing picts (e.g., `ht-append'). In the latter
case, the embedded picts retain their identity, so that offset-finding
functions (e.g., `lt-find') can find the offset of an embedded pict in
a larger pict.

A pict has the following structure:
                w
        ------------------
       |                  | a  \
       |------------------|    |
       |                  |    | h
       |------------------|    |
       |                  | d  /
        ------------------     

For a single text line, d is descent below the baseline and
a + d = h. For multiple text lines (created with vX-append), a is 
ascent of top line above baseline and d is descent of bottom line,
so a + d < h. Most other boxes have d = 0 and a = h.

The size information for a pict is computed when the pict is
created. This strategy supports programs that create new picts though
arbitrarily complex computations on the size and shape of existing
picts. However, it also means that a pict cannot be generated before
its target device is known.

A slightly different set of picture-making function are available for
GRacket and LaTeX output. For example, the LaTeX set includes `tex',
which accepts a string of arbitrary LaTeX code, and the GRacket set
includes `dc', which accepts an arbitrary Scheme procedure for drawing
to a dc<%>.

When creating pictures with the obsolete `picture' or `cons-picture'
functions, or when finding relative picture locations with the
obsolete `find-lt', etc., the coordinate system is upside-down: (0, 0)
is in the lower left.

Slideshow output
----------------

Slideshow (see the "slideshow" collection) takes care of configuring
texpict and rendering them to the screen or printer. In particular,
the `slide' function takes any number of picts and assembles them into
a slide.

If you are using Slideshow, skip the following two sections. In the
reference below, functions marked "GRacket only" or "GRacket only, in
utils.ss" are available, and functions marked "LaTeX only" are not
available.

For non-Slideshow users, _utils.ss_ library provides additional
drawing procedures for GRacket (not LaTeX) output. These are marked below
with "GRacket only, in utils.ss".


GRacket (or PostScript) output
---------------------------

The GRacket texpict function set is loaded by the _mrpict.ss_ library.
The library is available in unit form via _mrpict-unit.ss_, which
exports a `mrpict@' unit that imports mred^ and exports
`texpict-common^' and `mrpict-extra^'. The _mrpict-sig.ss_ library
file provides both signatures.

When creating a picture for a GRacket dc<%> that contains text, texpict
needs a drawing context for measuring the text. Provide a dc<%> before
constructing pictures via the `dc-for-text-size' parameter. The dc<%>
should have the same text-measuring results as the destination dc<%>;
in particular, use a post-script-dc% for preparing PostScript output,
and a bitmap-dc% will work fine for bitmap-dc% or canvas% output.

The `draw-pict' function takes a picture, a device context

 ;; Example of producing PostScript output
 (require texpict/mrpict)

 ;; Create PS context
 (define ps-dc (make-object post-script-dc%))
 (send ps-dc start-doc "Pict output")
 (send ps-dc start-page)

 ;; Install context for sizing
 (dc-for-text-size ps-dc)

 ;; Create the pict
 (define p ...)

 ;; Output pict
 (draw-pict p ps-dc 0 0)
 (send ps-dc end-page)
 (send ps-dc end-doc)

If the output dc<%> has a "user scale", it is not reflected in the
size information reported for pictures. This is consistent with GRacket's
usual policy for reporting size information.

LaTeX output
------------

The LaTeX texpict function set is loaded by the _texpict_ library.
The library is available in unit form via _texpict-unit.ss_, which
provides a `texpict@' unit with no imports and taht exports
`texpict-common^' and `texpict-extra^'. The _texpict-sig.ss_ library
provides both signatures.

Pictures created with this library are incompatible with Slideshow
and GRacket-based output.

To create a LaTeX picture, assemble a pict and then
call `pict->string'. This string can be `display'ed to obtain the
LaTeX code, which is usually of the form:
   \begin{picture} ... \end{picture}
When using colors, the output may be of the form:
   \special{color push ...} ... \special{color pop ...}
so consider putting the output in an \hbox{} when using color.

The `tex' function creates a pict given an arbitrary LaTeX
expression as a string. Initially, `tex' guess at the size of the
resulting pict. (It always guesses 10 x 10.) The LaTeX expression
generated for a `tex' pict causes information to be written to an
auxiliary file when LaTeX evaluates the expression. If you use
`tex' boxes, then:

   * Use the package "mztp.sty" at the start of your LaTeX
     document "X.tex".
   * In the Racket code creating `tex' picts, call
     (read-in-sizes "X.mztp") before calling `tex'.
   * Run the texpict-LaTeX cycle twice to get properly
     draw pictures.

texpict keys `tex' size information on the exact LaTeX expression
provided to `tex'. If you use a single `tex' pict in two different
contexts where the provided expression produces differently sized
output, texpict will not distinguish the uses (and the size of the
first instance of the pict will be used) by default. The
`serialize-tex-picts' parameter can solve this problem, but
serialization requires that the output is built in exactly the same
order every time, and generally requires more texpict-tex cycles to
reach a fixed point after a small change to the output. The
`tex-series-prefix' parameter may be used to explicitly tag `tex'
sequences in different contexts.

For LaTeX output, all positions and sizes must be specified as exact
integers, but texpict does not check that exact integers are supplied.

------------------------------------------------------------
Structures
------------------------------------------------------------

A pict is an instance of the `pict' structure type:

> struct:pict :: (struct pict (draw width height ascent descent children panbox))

The `children' field is a list of `child' structures:

> struct:child :: (struct child (pict dx dy sx sy))

------------------------------------------------------------
Procedures
------------------------------------------------------------

Basic Constructors:
-------------------

>  (dc draw-proc w h) -> pict
>  (dc draw-proc w h a d) -> pict
       where draw proc is (dc x y -> void)

   Creates an arbitrary self-rendering pict.  The arguments to the
   rendering procedure will be a device context and top-left
   location for drawing.
  
   When the rendering procedure is called, the current pen and
   brush will be solid and in the pict's color (and linewidth), and
   the scale and offset of the dc will be set. The text mode will
   be transparent, but the font and colors are not guaranteed to be
   anything in particular.
      [GRacket only]

>  (blank)  -> pict
>  (blank s)  -> pict   ; s is side length of square
>  (blank w h)  -> pict
>  (blank w a d)  -> pict  ; => h = a + d
>  (blank w g a d)  -> pict

   Creates an empty pict

>  (text string [text-style null] [size 12] [angle 0]) -> pict

   Creates a pict from a string, style, size, and rotation.
    A _text-style_ is one of
      null (the default, same a 'default),
      a font% object,
      a font family symbol (e.g., 'roman),
      a font face string (e.g., "-adobe-symbol"),
      `(bold . ,text-style),
      `(italic . ,text-style), 
      `(subscript . ,text-style), 
      `(superscript . ,text-style),
      `(combine . ,text-style), or
      `(no-combine . ,text-style).
      `(caps . ,text-style).
    A size is an exact number in [1, 255] in pixels; the
     default size is 12, but the size is ignored if
     a font% object is provided in the text-style.
    The default rotation is 0; for a non-zero rotation,
     the pict covers the rotated text, and the descent
     is zero and the ascent is the height
    By default, text drawing can combine characters (to
     form ligatures, for kerning, etc.), unless the
     base text-style is 'modern. The 'combine text-style symbol
     overrides the default to allow combining, and the
     'no-combine text-style symbol overrides the default to
     disable combining; if both 'combine and 'no-combine
     are specified, the first one takes precedence
    If caps is specified, the angle must be zero.
      [GRacket only]

> text-style/c :: contract?

  This is a contract that matches the second argument of `text'.

>  (caps-text string [text-style null] [size 12] [angle 0]) -> pict

   Same as `text', but use small caps:

>  (hline w h) -> pict
>  (dash-hline w h seg-length) -> pict ; default seg-length is 5
>  (vline w h) -> pict
>  (dash-vline w h seg-length) -> pict ; default seg-length is 5

   To draw other kinds of lines, use `dc' [GRacket only] or `picture' or
   `cons-picture' [LaTeX].

>  (frame pict) -> pict
>  (dash-frame pict seg-length) -> pict ; default seg-length is 5
>  (oval pict) -> pict
>  (oval/radius pict r) -> pict ; r is radius of corners

>  (big-circle diameter) -> pict

   Creates a fairly round circle using four splines (intended
   for LaTeX output)

>  (pip-arrow-line dx dy size) -> pict
>  (pip-arrows-line dx dy size) -> pict

   for use with `pin-over'. The 0-sized picture contains the starting
   point.
      [GRacket only, in utils.ss]

>  (bitmap filename) -> pict
>  (bitmap bitmap%-object) -> pict

   Loads a bitmap into a pict; if the bitmap is not ok,

> (explode-star small-rad large-rad points line-size line-color)

  Creates a star-shaped explosion thingy. The points are
  aligned on two radii, one for the beginning of the points
  and one for the end, large-rad and small-rad. points is
  the number of spikes sitcking out, and line-size and
  line-color are the thickness of the lines and the lines
  color.


Combiners:
----------

>  (vl-append [d 0] pict ...) -> pict ; d units between each picture
>  (vc-append [d 0] pict ...) -> pict
>  (vr-append [d 0] pict ...) -> pict
>  (ht-append [d 0] pict ...) -> pict
>  (hc-append [d 0] pict ...) -> pict
>  (hb-append [d 0] pict ...) -> pict
>  (htl-append [d 0] pict ...) -> pict  ; align bottoms of ascents
>  (hbl-append [d 0] pict ...) -> pict  ; align tops of descents (normal text alignment)

   Make a new picture as a column (vX-append) or row (hX-append)
   of other pictures. Different procedures align pictures in the
   orthogonal direction in different ways; e.g, vl-append left-aligns
   all of the pictures. A specified amount of space is inserted
   between each pair of pictures in making the column or row.
   The descent of the result corresponds to baseline that is lowest
   in the result among all of the picts' descent-specified
   baselines; similarly, the ascent of the result corresponds to
   the highest ascent-specified baseline.

>  (lt-superimpose pict ...) -> pict
>  (lb-superimpose pict ...) -> pict
>  (lc-superimpose pict ...) -> pict
>  (ltl-superimpose pict ...) -> pict
>  (lbl-superimpose pict ...) -> pict
>  (rt-superimpose pict ...) -> pict
>  (rb-superimpose pict ...) -> pict
>  (rc-superimpose pict ...) -> pict
>  (rtl-superimpose pict ...) -> pict
>  (rbl-superimpose pict ...) -> pict
>  (ct-superimpose pict ...) -> pict
>  (cb-superimpose pict ...) -> pict
>  (cc-superimpose pict ...) -> pict
>  (ctl-superimpose pict ...) -> pict
>  (cbl-superimpose pict ...) -> pict

   Make a new picture by superimposing a set of pictures. The
   alignment indicators are essentially as above: horizontal
   alignment then vertical alignment. The descent and the ascent
   of the result is also computed as above (i.e., lowest descent
   and highest ascent).

>  (pin-over pict dx dy pict) -> pict
>  (pin-over pict sub-pict find-proc pict) -> pict

   Creates a pict with the same bounding box, ascent, and descent
   as the initial argument, but with the second pict placed on top.
   The dx and dy argument specify how far right and down the second
   pict's corner is from the first pict's corner.
   Alternately, the sub-pict and procedure arguments find a point
   in the initial pict for the second pict's corner. The procedure
   should be like lt-find.

>  (pin-under pict dx dy pict) -> pict
>  (pin-under pict sub-pict find-proc pict) -> pict

   Like pin-over, but the second pict is drawn first, then the
   initial pict.

>  (table ncols pict-list col-aligns row-aligns col-seps row-seps) -> pict

   Make a table given a list of picts. The list is a
   concatenation of rows (which means that a Scheme `list' call
   can be formatted to reflect the shape of the output table).
  
   The col-aligns, row-aligns, col-seps, and row-seps arguments are
   `lists' specifying the row and columns alignments separation
   between rows and columns.  For C columns and R rows, the first
   two should have C and R superimpose procedures, and the last two
   should have C - 1 and R - 1 numbers, respectively. The lists can
   be improper (e.g. just a number), in which case the non-pair cdr
   is used as the value for all remaining list items that were
   expected. The alignment procedures are used to superimpose all
   of the cells in a column or row; this superimposition determines
   the total width or height of the column or row, and also
   determines the horizontal or vertical placement of each cell in
   the column or row.

>  (record pict pict ...) -> pict

   Make a UML-like record picture, where the
   first argument is the title and the rest are fields.


Drawing Adjusters:
------------------

>  (scale pict factor) -> pict

   selects between a pen width of 0 or 1.

>  (linewidth w pict) -> pict

   Set a specific pen width for drawing.
      [GRacket only]

>  (colorize pict color-string) -> pict

      [GRacket only]

>  (cellophane pict opacity) -> pict

   Makes the given pict semi-transparent, where an opacity of 0.0 is

-----------------------

>  (inset pict i) -> pict
>  (inset pict hi vi) -> pict

   one of the sub-pict-finding functions (e.g., `lt-find')
   to extract the source and destination of the line.

   The defaults for line-w, color-string, and lines-under?
   are #f, and the default for solid-head? is #t.

      [GRacket only, in utils.ss]

>  (hyperlinkize pict) -> pict

Renderers:
----------

>  (show-pict pict [w #f] [h #f]) -> void

   Opens a frame that displays the pict.
   The frame adds one method: 
     set-pict : pict -> void
   that changes the visible pict.
   the optional w and h arguments must
   be either numbers of #f. If numbers,
   the window is at least that size
   and the pict is drawn in the middle of
   the window.
      [GRacket only]

>  (draw-pict pict dc x y) -> void

   Draw a pict to a dc<%>
      [GRacket only]

>  (make-pict-drawer pict) -> ((dc x y) -> void)

   pict (much faster than repeated calls to draw-pict)
      [GRacket only]


GRacket DC Helpers:
----------------

>  (scale-color factor string-or-color%) -> color%

   Scales a color, making it brighter or darker. If the
   factor is < 1, the color is darkened by multiplying
   the RGB components by the factor. If the factor is > 1,
   the color is lightened by dividing the gap between
   the RGB components and 255 by the factor.
      [GRacket only, in utils.ss]

>  (find-brush string-or-color% [style 'solid]) -> brush%

   Gets an immutable brush from the-brush-list
      [GRacket only, in utils.ss]

                           ;  set-pen? set-brush? -> void

   Calls a drawing function multiple times, gradually
   changing the pen/brush color for each call. The
   step count and step delta should be exact numbers;
   the procedure is called with each number from 0 to 
   the step count, using the step delta. For the first
   call, the current pen and/or brush color matches the
   starting color; for the last call, it matches the
   ending color; and for intermediate calls, the color
   is an intermediate color.

Obsolete: Commands, Putables, and Drawables
------------------------------------------------------------

Commands:
---------

These commands use LaTeX-style coordinates: bottom-left
is (0, 0).

The varieties of `connect' commands are for LaTeX, where
lines are constrained to a small set of allowed angles.
For GRacket, all of the commands below act the same, and produce
lines with precisely the requested angle.

A command is one of the following:
   `(place ,x ,y ,pict)
   `(put ,x ,y ,putable)
   

   `(connect ,x1 ,y1 ,x2 ,y2 ,bool)         ; line or vector; bool => vector;
                                            ;   from (x1,y1) to (~x2,~y2)
                                            ;   as close as possible
                                            ;   (synonym for connect~xy with 
                                            ;   an infinite tolerance when
                                            ;   draw-bezier-lines is #f, or
                                            ;   for curve when draw-bezier-lines
                                            ;   is #t)
   `(dconnect ,x ,y ,dx ,dy ,bool)          ; line or vector; bool => vector;
                                            ;   from (x,y) to (~(x+dx),~(y+dy))
                                            ;   as close as possible (uses
                                            ;   connect)
   `(connect~y ,tol ,x1 ,y2 ,x2 ,y2 ,bool)  ; sequence of lines from
                                            ;  (~x1,~y1) to (~x2,~y2) where
                                            ;  either: 
                                            ;    1) ~x2=x2 and |~y2-y2|<tol
                                            ;    2) ~y2=y2 and |~x2-x2|<tol and 
                                            ;       the final line is vertical
   `(connect~x ,tol ,x1 ,y2 ,x2 ,y2 ,bool)  ; like connect~y, but either:
                                            ;    1) ~x2=x2 and |~y2-y2|<tol
                                            ;       the final line is horizontal
                                            ;    2) ~y2=y2 and |~x2-x2|<tol
   `(connect~xy ,tol ,x1 ,y2 ,x2 ,y2 ,bool) ; like connect~y, but either:
                                            ;    1) ~x2=x2 and |~y2-y2|<tol
                                            ;       the final line is horizontal
                                            ;    2) ~y2=y2 and |~x2-x2|<tol
                                            ;       the final line is vertical
                                            ;    3) |(x2,y2)-(~x2,~y2)|<tol
   `(curve ,x1 ,y1 ,x2 ,y2 ,xc ,yc ,d)      ; bezier curve; d is optional density
                                            ;  for LaTeX; the default d is 1.0

  [Notes: curve can generate more precise lines than connect~, but it usually 
          requires more LaTeX memory.]

Putables:
---------

A putable is one of the following:
   draw
   `(line ,dh ,dv ,hlen)       ; LaTeX-style line - slope and size is limited
   `(vector ,dh ,dv ,hlen)     ; LaTeX-style vector - slope and size is limited
   `(circle ,d)                ; LaTeX-style circle - size is limited
   `(circle* ,d)
   `(frame ,draw)
   `(colorbox ,color-str ,draw)
   `(oval ,str ,w ,h)  ; str is portion a la LaTeX: e.g., "" or "[bl]";
                       ;  the oval is centered at the put position, instead of
                       ;  bl-aligned
   ; plus some more undocumented ones...

Draws:
------

A draw is one of the following:
   string ; latex string
   `(picture ,w ,h ,@command-list)
   `(color ,color-string ,draw)
   `(thickness ,thickness ,draw) ; thickness is thicklines or thinlines

------------------------------------------------------------
_slideshow-run.ss_ and _slideshow.ss_
------------------------------------------------------------

The "slideshow-run.ss" and "slideshow.ss" modules simply re-export
`slideshow/run' and `slideshow/slideshow'
for backward compatibility.

See the "slideshow" collection for more details.

------------------------------------------------------------
_balloon.ss_
------------------------------------------------------------

The "balloon.ss" module produce functions for creating and placing
cartoon-speech balloons.

> (wrap-balloon pict spike-sym dx dy [color corner-radius])

Superimposes `pict' on top of a balloon that wraps it.

The `spike-sym' indicates the corner from which a spike protrudes from
the balloon (i.e., the spike that points to whatever the balloon is
about). It's one of 'n, 's, 'e, 'w, 'ne, 'se, 'sw, or 'nw.

The `dx' and `dy' arguments specify how far the spike should protrude.
For a 'w spike, `dx' should be negative, etc.

The `color' argument is the background color for the balloon. It
defaults to `balloon-color'.

The result is a balloon, not a pict. The `balloon-pict' function
extracts a pict whose bounding box does not include the spike, but
includes the rest of the image. (The `balloon-point-x' and
`balloon-point-y' functions specify the location of the spike point.)

> (pip-wrap-balloon pict spike-sym dx dy [color corner-radius])

Like `wrap-balloon', but produces a zero-sized pict suitable for use
with `pin-over'.

> (pin-balloon balloon pict to-pict find-to-pos)
> (pin-balloon balloon pict x y)

Superimposes the pict in `balloon' onto `pict' to produce a new
pict. The balloon is positioned so that its spike points to the
location specified by either `x' and `y' (numbers) or `to-pict' and
`find-to-pos'. In the latter case, `to-pict' is a sub-pict in `pict'
and `find-to-pos' is a function like `lt-find'.

The resulting pict has the same bounding box, descent, and ascent as
`pict', even if the balloon extends beyond the bounding box.

> (place-balloon balloon pict to-pict find-to-pos)
> (place-balloon balloon pict x y)

Obsolete version of `pin-balloon' where `find-to-pos' is a function
like `find-lt' (i.e., the y result is flipped).

> (balloon w h corner-radius spike-pos dx dy color)

Creates a balloon, much like `wrap-balloon' except that the balloon's
width is `w' and its height is `h'. The `corner-radius' argument
specifies the radius for the balloon's rounded corners; if the radius
is positive, the value is used as the radius of the rounded corner,
but if radius is negative, the absolute value is used as the
proportion of the smallest dimension of the balloon.

> (make-balloon pict num num) -> balloon
> (balloon-pict balloon)      -> pict
> (balloon-point-x balloon)   -> num
> (balloon-point-y balloon)   -> num
> (balloon? v)                -> bool

A balloon value encapsulates a pict and the position of the balloon's
spike relative to the balloon's top-left corner.

> balloon-color

The default background color for a balloon.

------------------------------------------------------------
_face.ss_
------------------------------------------------------------

The "face.ss" module provides functions for a kind of
Mr.-Potatohead-style face library. The _face-demo.ss_ module
implements an interactive browser for face configurations.

> default-face-color - orange

> (face mood-symbol [color]) - returns a pict a pre-configured face
  with the given base color. The built-in configurations, selected by
  mood-symbol, are as follows:

    'unhappy - (face* 'none 'plain #t default-face-color 6)
    'sortof-unhappy - (face* 'worried 'grimace #t default-face-color 6)
    'sortof-happy - (face* 'worried 'medium #f default-face-color 6)
    'happy - (face* 'none 'plain #f default-face-color 6)
    'happier - (face* 'none 'large #f default-face-color 3)
    'embarrassed - (face* 'worried 'medium #f default-face-color 3)
    'badly-embarrassed - (face* 'worried 'medium #t default-face-color 3)
    'unhappier - (face* 'normal 'large #t default-face-color 3)
    'happiest - (face* 'normal 'huge #f default-face-color 0 -3)
    'unhappiest - (face* 'normal 'huge #t default-face-color 0 -3)
    'mad - (face* 'angry 'grimace #t default-face-color 0)
    'mean - (face* 'angry 'narrow #f default-face-color 0)
    'surprised - (face* 'worried 'oh #t default-face-color -4 -3 2)

> (face* eyebrow-kind mouth-kind frown? [color eye-inset eyebrow-dy pupil-dx pupil-dy])
  - returns a pict for a configured face:

      - eyebrow-kind is one of 'none, 'normal, 'worried, or 'angry
      - mouth-kind is one of 'plain, 'narrow, 'medium, 'large, 'huge, 
                             'grimace, 'oh, or 'tongue
      - frown? determines whether the mouth is up or down
      - color is either a color string or a color% object
      - eye-inset adjusts the eye size; recommend values: between 0 and 10
      - eyebrow-dy adjusts the eyebrows; recommend values: between -5 and 5
      - pupil-dx adjusts the pupil; recommend values: between -10 and 10
      - pupil-dy adjusts the pupil; recommend values: between -15 and 15

In addition to the above, the function also accepts these keywords,
each of which is a boolean. With the exception of the last one, they
control if there is a shading on a particular feature in the face
(shading tends to look worse than just anti-aliasing when the face is
small). The last one controls the visibility of the teeth.

 #:eyebrow-shading?
 #:mouth-shading?
 #:eye-shading?
 #:tongue-shading?
 #:face-background-shading?
 #:teeth?

------------------------------------------------------------
_flash.ss_
------------------------------------------------------------

> (filled-flash width height [points spike-fraction rotation])
  - returns a pict for a "flash" (a spiky oval, like the
    yellow background that goes behind a "New!" logo).
  
    The `height' and `width' arguments determine the size of the oval
    in which the flash is drawn, prior to rotation. The actual height
    and width may be smaller if `points' is not a multiple of 4, and
    the actuall height and width will be different if the flash is
    rotated.

    The `points' argument defaults to 10, and it determines
    the number of points on the flash. 

    The `spike-fraction' argument determines how big the flash spikes
    are compared to the bounding oval. It should be a value between 0
    and 1 (exclusive), and the default is 0.25.

    The `rotation' argument specifies an angle in radians for
    counter-clockwise rotation.

    The flash is drawn in the default color.

> (outline-flash width height [points spike-fraction rotation])
   - like `filled-flash', but drawing only the outline.

------------------------------------------------------------
_code.ss_
------------------------------------------------------------

The "code.ss" module provides a unit for typesetting Scheme code a la
SlaTeX.

The _code@_ unit imports _code-params^_ and exports _code^_.  The
_code-params^_ signature contains two elements:

   current-font-size - a thunk to obtain the font size to use for
                       text
   line-sep - an integer for the amount of space (in drawing units) to
              insert between lines of text

The _code^_ unit supplies the following

> (typeset-code stx) - produces a pict for code in the given
  syntax object. The source-location information of the
  syntax object determines the line breaks, line indenting,
  and space within a row.  Empty rows are ignored. (Beware
  that if you use read-syntax on a file port, you may have
  to turn on line counting via port-count-lines! for the
  code to typeset properly.)

  Normally, `typeset-code' is used through a macro (often called
  `code') that is generated by `define-code'. See below for more
  information.

  Embedded picts within `stx' are used directly. Row elements are
  combined using `htl-append', so use `code-align' (see below) as
  necessary to add an ascent to ascentless picts.

  The resulting pict is actually an instance of code-pict, which is a
  sub-type of `pict'. When an embedded pict in `stx' is a code-pict,
  then elements (such as closing parens) are added after the code-pict
  based on the code-pict's bottom line, instead of the code-pict's
  bounding box. See also `code-pict-bottom-line-pict' and
  `pict->code-pict'.

  An identifier that starts with an underscore is italicized in the
  pict and the underscore is dropped, unless the
  `code-italic-underscore-enabled' parameter is set to false. Also,
  unless `code-scripts-enabled' is set to false, underscores and
  carets in the middle of a word create superscripts and subscripts
  (like TeX); for example `foo^4_ok' is displayed as the identifier
  "foo" with a "4" superscript and an "ok" subscript.

  Further, uses of certain keywords in `stx' typeset specially:

>    code:blank - produces a space
>    (code:comment s ...) - produces a comment block, with each `s'
                            on its own line; each `s' must be a string
                            or a pict
>    (code:line datum ...) - typesets the `datum' sequence, mostly useful
                             for the top-level sequence, since 
                             `typeset-code' takes only one argument
>    (code:contract datum ...) - like code:line, but every `datum' is
                                 colored as a comment, and a semi-colon
                                 is prefixed to every line
>    (code:template datum ...) - like code:line, but a semi-colon
                                 is prefixed to every line
>     $                        - typesets as a vertical bar (for no
                                 particularly good reason)

> current-code-font - parameter for a base font used to typeset text.
  The default is `(bold . modern).
> current-code-tt - parameter for a one-argument procedure to turn a
  string into a pict, used to typeset text. The default is
    (lambda (s) (text s (current-code-font) (current-font-size)))
  This procedure is not used to typeset subscripts or other items
  that require font changes, but `current-code-font' is always used.

> current-comment-color - parameter for a string or color% for comments
> current-keyword-color - parameter for a string or color% for keywords
> current-id-color - parameter for a string or color% for identifiers
> current-literal-color - parameter for a string or color% for literals
> current-const-color - parameter for a string or color% for constants
> current-base-color - parameter for a string or color% for everything else

> current-reader-forms - parameter for a list of symbols indicating
  which built-in reader forms should be used; the default is '(quote
  quasiquote unquote unquote-splicing syntax quasisyntax unsyntax
  unsyntax-splicing); remove a symbol to suppress the corresponding
  reader output

The following four are for backward compatibility:
> comment-color - default string/color% for comments
> keyword-color - default string/color% for keywords
> id-color - default string/color% for ids
> literal-color - default string/color% for literals

> (code-align pict) - adjusts the ascent of `pict' so that its bottom
  aligns with the baseline for text; use this function when `pict'
  has no ascent.

> current-keyword-list - a parameter, a list of strings to color as
  keywords; the default includes the Racket syntactic form names
> current-const-list - a parameter, a list of strings to color as
  constants; the default is empty
> current-literal-list - a parameter, a list of strings to color as
  literals; the default is empty

> mzscheme-const-list - a list of strings that could be used to initialize
  the `current-const-list' parameter

> code-colorize-enabled - a parameter to enable or disable all code
  coloring; the default is #t

> code-colorize-quote-enabled - a parameter to control whether everything
  under a quote is colorized as a literal (like DrRacket's Check Syntax,
  and unlike DrRacket's interactive text coloring); the default is #t

> code-italic-underscore-enabled - a boolean parameter to control
  whether underscore-prefixed identifiers are italicized (dropping
  the underscore); the default is #t

> code-scripts-enabled - a boolean parameter to control whether
  TeX-style subscripts and subscripts are recognized in an identifier

> (code-pict-bottom-line-pict pict) - returns a pict inside of the
  given code-pict that represents the end of the code-pict's bottom
  line; if `pict' is a pict but not a code-pict, the result is #f

> (pict->code-pict pict bl-pict-or-false) - returns a code-pict if
  `bl-pict-of-false' is not false; the code-pict is like the given
  `pict', except that it reports `bl-pict-or-false' as its bottom-line
  pict (for adding closing parens after, etc.)


In addition to the `code@' unit, the "code.ss" module exports a
`define-code' macro for defining other macros:

> (define-code code-id typeset-code-id) 
> (define-code code-id typeset-code-id escape-id)

  Defines `code-id' as a macro that uses `typeset-code-id', which is a
  function with the same input as `typeset-code'. The `escape-id' form
  defaults to `unsyntax'.

  The `code-id' syntactic form takes a sequence of `datum's:

    (code datum ...)

  It produces a pict that typesets the sequence. Source-location
  information for the `datum' determine the layout of code in the
  resulting pict. A pict datum is drawn as itself.

  If a `datum' contains `(escape-id expr)' (perhaps as #,expr when
  `escape-id' is `unsyntax'), then the `expr' is evaluated and the
  result datum is spliced in place of the `unsyntax' form in
  `datum'. If the result is not a syntax object, it is given the
  source location of the `(unsyntax expr)'.

  The `code' syntactic form expands to a use of `typeset-code'. The
  `datum's are not merely syntax-quoted, because then the compiled
  form of the call would loose source information. Instead, `code'
  expands to an expression that preserves expansion-time
  source-location information.
