NAME

       TextComp, TextView, TextGraphic, PSText - multiline text component subject, view, structured graphic, and
       PostScript external representation

SYNOPSIS

       #include <Unidraw/Components/text.h>

DESCRIPTION

       TextComp  is  a GraphicComp that defines a piece of multiline text.  It uses a TextGraphic (a subclass of
       Label) to store its graphical attributes.  TextView is a GraphicView for displaying the text.  PSText  is
       a PostScriptView that externalizes the subject's information in PostScript form.

TEXTCOMP PUBLIC OPERATIONS

       TextComp(TextGraphic* = nil)
              The constructor takes an optional TextGraphic that defines the attributes of the text.

       virtual void Interpret(Command*)
       virtual void Uninterpret(Command*)
              TextComp redefines (Un)interpret to ignore BrushCmd and PatternCmd and to (un)interpret FontCmd.

       TextGraphic* GetText()
              Return  the  TextGraphic  that  defines the text component's attributes.  GetText is simply a more
              specific form of the GetGraphic operation.

TEXTVIEW PUBLIC OPERATIONS

       TextView(TextComp* = nil)
              Create an TextView, optionally supplying the subject.

       virtual void Interpret(Command*)
              TextView interprets AlignToGridCmd to align its lower-left to the grid.

       virtual Manipulator* CreateManipulator(
          Viewer*, Event&, Transformer*, Tool*
       )

       virtual void InterpretManipulator(Manipulator*)
              TextView redefines its response to manipulation with a GraphicCompTool. GraphicCompTool  will  let
              the  user position and type out the component's text using TextManip. Positioning of the text will
              be influenced by gravity, if any. TextView also defines a response to the ReshapeTool to  let  the
              user edit the text.  The subject is actually replaced (via ReplaceCmd) with a new TextComp subject
              positioned at the original TextComp's location but reflecting the edited text.

       TextComp* GetTextComp()
              Return the subject.

TEXTVIEW PROTECTED OPERATIONS

       virtual boolean TextChanged()
              Return whether the text in the subject is any different from that in the view.

TEXTGRAPHIC PUBLIC OPERATIONS

       TextGraphic(const char*, int h, Graphic* = nil)
       TextGraphic(const char*, Graphic*)
              Create  a TextGraphic, specifying its text, optional inter-line spacing, and optional graphic from
              which to obtain default graphics attributes.  TextGraphic  stores  a  copy  of  the  given  string
              (behavior  it  inherits  from  Label).  If inter-line spacing is not specified, then lines will be
              separated to reflect the font height reported by PSFont.

       void SetLineHeight(int)
       int GetLineHeight()
              Explicitly set and get the inter-line spacing.

       virtual boolean operator == (TextGraphic&)
       virtual boolean operator != (TextGraphic&)
              Report whether the given graphic contains or does not contain an identical copy  of  the  text  in
              this

PSTEXT PUBLIC OPERATIONS

       PSText(TextComp* = nil)
              Construct a PostScript external representation of the given subject, if any.

PSTEXT PROTECTED OPERATIONS

       const char* Filter(const char* string, int length)
              Filter  excapes embedded control or other special characters that would cause syntax errors in the
              PostScript output.
