                               Component host)
Repaint the given line range.

Parameters:
line0 - the starting line number to repaint. This must be a valid line number in the model.
line1 - the ending line number to repaint. This must be a valid line number in the model.
a - the region allocated for the view to render into
host - the component hosting the view (used to call repaint)

drawLine

protected void drawLine(int lineIndex,
                        Graphics g,

g - the Graphics context
x - the starting X position >= 0
y - the starting Y position >= 0

drawSelectedText

                        throws BadLocationException
Renders the given range in the model as selected text. This is implemented to render the text in the color specified in the hosting component. It assumes the highlighter will render the selected background.

Parameters:

y - the starting Y coordinate >= 0
p0 - the beginning position in the model >= 0
p1 - the ending position in the model >= 0

protected int drawUnselectedText(Graphics g,
                                 int x,
                                 int y,

                          throws BadLocationException
Renders the given range in the model as normal unselected text. Uses the foreground or disabled color to render the text.

Parameters:
g - the graphics context
x - the starting X coordinate >= 0
y - the starting Y coordinate >= 0
p0 - the beginning position in the model >= 0
p1 - the ending position in the model >= 0
Returns:
the X location of the end of the range >= 0
Throws:
BadLocationException - if the range is invalid

getLineBuffer

the buffer

getPreferredSpan

public float getPreferredSpan(int axis)

Overrides:
getPreferredSpan in class View
Parameters:
axis - may be either View.X_AXIS or View.Y_AXIS
Returns:
the span the view would like to be rendered into >= 0. Typically the view is told to render into the span that is returned, although there is no guarantee. The parent may choose to resize or break the view.

getTabSize

protected int getTabSize()
Returns the tab size set for the document, defaulting to 8.

Returns:
the tab size

insertUpdate

public void insertUpdate(DocumentEvent changes,

a - the current allocation of the view
f - the factory to use to rebuild if the view has children

lineToRect

protected Rectangle lineToRect(Shape a,

Determine the rectangle that represents the given line.

Parameters:

nextTabStop

public float nextTabStop(float x,
                         int tabOffset)
Returns the next tab stop position after a given reference position. This implementation does not support things like centering so it ignores the tabOffset argument.

the tab stop, measured in points >= 0

paint

public void paint(Graphics g,

Overrides:
removeUpdate in class View
Parameters:
changes - the change information from the associated document
a - the current allocation of the view
f - the factory to use to rebuild if the view has children

setSize

public void setSize(float width,

changes
a
f

updateMetrics

protected void updateMetrics()
Checks to see if the font metrics and longest line are up-to-date.
