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

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

Editor instances are created with no undo stack, so no undo operations
 will be recorded unless @method[editor<%> set-max-undo-history] is
 used to change the size of the undo 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 @racket[#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 @racket[#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.

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.

@defmethod[(begin-edit-sequence [undoable? any/c #t]
                                [interrupt-streak? any/c #t])
           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 deeply. 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 @racket[undoable?] flag is @racket[#f], then the changes made
 in the sequence cannot be reversed through the @method[editor<%>
 undo] method. See @elemref["ed-seq-undo"]{below} for more information
 on undo. The @racket[undoable?] flag is only effective for the outermost
 @method[editor<%> begin-edit-sequence] when nested sequences are
 used. Note that, for a @racket[text%] object, the character-inserting
 version of @method[text% insert] interferes with sequence-based undo
 groupings.

If the @racket[interrupt-streak?] flag is @racket[#f] and the sequence is
 outermost, then special actions before and after the sequence count
 as consecutive actions. For example, @method[editor<%> kill]s just before 
 and after the sequence are appended in the clipboard.

@elemtag["ed-seq-undo"]{@italic{Undo details:}} The behavior of @racket[undoable?] as @racket[#f] is
 implemented by not adding entries to an undo log. For example, suppose that
 an @litchar{a} is inserted into the editor, a @litchar{b}
 is inserted, and then an un-undoable edit sequence begins,
 and the @litchar{a} is colored red, and then the edit sequence ends.
 An undo will remove the @litchar{b}, leaving the @litchar{a}
 colored red. 

 As another example, in the following interaction,
 @method[editor<%> undo] removes the @litchar{a}
 instead of the @litchar{b}:

 @racket[#f] to indicate that any directory is fine.

Note that the @racket[directory] argument cannot be a string; it must
 be a path value or @racket[#f].

@methimpl{

Calls the global @racket[get-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.

@index['("keyboard focus" "snips")]{Returns} the snip within the

 @racket[#f] if the editor does not delegate the focus.

The returned snip might be an @racket[editor-snip%] object. In that
 case, the embedded editor might delegate the focus to one of its own
 snips. However, the @method[editor<%> get-focus-snip] method returns
 only the @racket[editor-snip%] object, because it is the focus-owning

 threshold is compared with the @racket[draw-caret] argument to
 @method[editor<%> refresh] and if the argument is as least as large
 as the threshold (but larger than @indexed-racket['show-caret]), the
 selection is drawn as inactive.

@defmethod[(get-max-undo-history)
           (or/c (integer-in 0 100000) 'forever)]{

Returns the maximum number of undoables that will be remembered by the
 editor. Note that undoables are counted by insertion, deletion,
 etc. events, not by the number of times that @method[editor<%> undo]
 can be called; a single @method[editor<%> undo] call often reverses
 multiple events at a time (such as when the user types a stream of
 characters at once).

When an editor is in preserve-all-history mode (see @method[editor<%>

Returns the maximum visible area into which the editor is currently
 being displayed, according to the editor's administrators. If the
 editor has only one @techlink{display}, the result is the same as for
 @method[editor<%> get-view-size]. Otherwise, the maximum width and

If @racket[bottom-right?] is not @racket[#f], the values in the
 @racket[x] and @racket[y] boxes are for the snip's bottom right

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

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

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

@itemize[

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

           void?]{

Calls @method[editor<%> on-display-size] unless the editor is

@defmethod[#:mode pubment 
           (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.

@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 @racket[before?] argument is @racket[#t] when the method is called just
 before painting the contents of the editor or @racket[#f] when it is
 called after painting. The @racket[left], @racket[top], @racket[right], and
 @racket[bottom] arguments specify which region of the editor is being
 repainted, in editor coordinates. To get the coordinates for
 @racket[dc], offset editor coordinates by adding (@racket[dx], @racket[dy]).
 See @|drawcaretdiscuss| for information about @racket[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|). The @method[editor<%>
 on-paint] method is called during a refresh; see
 @secref["editorthreads"].

Prints the editor. 

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

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

The @racket[output-mode] setting
 determines whether the output is generated directly as a PostScript
 file, generated directly as a PDF file, or generated
 using the platform-specific standard printing mechanism. The possible
 values are

@itemize[

 @item{@racket['standard] --- print using the platform-standard
 mechanism (via a @racket[printer-dc%])}

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

 @item{@racket['pdf] --- print to a PDF file (via a
 @racket[pdf-dc%])}

]

If @racket[parent] is not @racket[#f], it is used as the parent window
 for configuration dialogs (for either PostScript or platform-standard
 printing). If @racket[parent] is @racket[#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 @racket[force-ps-page-bbox?] argument is used for PostScript
 and PDF printing, and is used as the third initialization argument when
 creating the @racket[post-script-dc%] or @racket[pdf-dc%] instance. Unless it is
 @racket[#f], the bounding-box of the resulting PostScript/PDF file is set
 to the current paper size.

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

The printing margins are determined by @method[ps-setup%
 get-editor-margin] in the current @racket[ps-setup%] object (as
 determined by @racket[current-ps-setup]), but they are ignored when
 @racket[as-eps?] is true.

indicated page is printed, where pages are numbered from
@racket[1]. If @racket[page-number] is @racket[0], then the
entire content of the editor is printed on a single page.
When @racket[page-number] is negative, then the editor content is

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

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

The @racket[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, @racket[#t] is returned,
 otherwise @racket[#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 a text editor has
padding (see @method[text% set-padding]), then the padding is added to
the given @techlink{location} before forwarding to the
administrator. If the editor has no administrator, @racket[#f] is
returned.

}


@defmethod[(scroll-line-location [pos exact-nonnegative-integer?])
           (and/c real? (not/c negative?))]{

Maps a vertical scroll position to a vertical @techlink{location}
 within the editor.

For @racket[text%] objects: @|FCA| @|EVD|

}


@defmethod[(scroll-to [snip (is-a?/c snip%)]
                      [localx real?]

                      [bias (or/c 'start 'end 'none) 'none])
           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,
 @racket[#t] is returned, otherwise @racket[#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 @racket[localx], @racket[localy], @racket[width], and @racket[height]
 arguments specify the area that needs to be visible in @racket[snip]'s
 coordinate system.

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

}


@defmethod[(select-all)
           void?]{

Selects all data in the editor

}

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

Sets the active canvas for this editor. (See @method[editor<%>
 get-active-canvas].)

Normally, this method is called only by @xmethod[editor-canvas%
 on-focus] in an editor canvas that is displaying an editor.

}

@defmethod[(set-admin [admin (or/c (is-a?/c editor-admin%) #f)])
           void?]{

Sets the editor's administrator. This method is only called by an
 administrator.

@Unmonitored[@elem{The administrator of an editor} @elem{by the
system} @elem{the administrator changes} @elem{@method[editor<%>
get-admin]}]

                            [domain (or/c 'immediate 'display 'global) 'immediate])
           void?]{

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

If @racket[#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{@racket['immediate] --- only set the focus owner within the
 editor}

 @item{@racket['display] --- make this editor or the new focus
 owner get the keyboard focus among the editors in this editor's
 @techlink{display} (if this is an embedded editor)}

 @item{@racket['global] --- make this editor or the new focus
 owner get the keyboard focus among all elements in the editor's frame}

@defmethod[(set-cursor [cursor (or/c (is-a?/c cursor%) #f)]
                       [override? any/c #t])
           void?]{

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

If the custom cursor is @racket[#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<%>
 adjust-cursor] for more information about the default selection.

An embedding editor's custom cursor can override the cursor of an
 embedded editor---even if the embedded editor has the caret---if
 the cursor is specified as an overriding cursor.

}


@defmethod[(set-filename [filename (or/c path-string? #f)]
                         [temporary? any/c #f])
           void?]{

Sets the filename to @racket[filename]. If @racket[filename] is
 @racket[#f] or @racket[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].

This method is also called when the filename changes through any
 method (such as @method[editor<%> load-file]).

}


@defmethod[(set-inactive-caret-threshold [threshold (or/c 'no-caret 'show-inactive-caret 'show-caret)])
           void?]{

Sets the threshold for painting an inactive selection.  See
 @method[editor<%> get-inactive-caret-threshold] for more information.

}


@defmethod[(set-keymap [keymap (or/c (is-a?/c keymap%) #f) #f])
           void?]{

Sets the current keymap for the editor. A @racket[#f] argument removes
 all key mapping.

}


@defmethod[(set-load-overwrites-styles [overwrite? any/c])
           void?]{

Determines whether named styles in the current style list are replaced
 by @method[editor<%> load-file] when the loaded file contains style
 specifications.

See also @method[editor<%> get-load-overwrites-styles] and
 @method[editor<%> read-from-file].

}


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

Sets the maximum display height for the contents of the editor.  A
 value less or equal to @racket[0] indicates that there is no maximum.

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

}


@defmethod[(set-max-undo-history [count (or/c exact-nonnegative-integer? 'forever)])
           void?]{

Sets the maximum number of undoables that will be remembered by the
 editor. The default is @racket[0], which disables undo.  The symbol
 @indexed-racket['forever] is accepted as a synonym for a very large
 number.

When an editor is in preserve-all-history mode (see @method[editor<%>
 set-undo-preserves-all-history]), then any non-@racket[0] value is
 treated the same as @racket['forever].

}


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

Sets the maximum display width for the contents of the editor; zero or
 @racket['none] indicates that there is no maximum.  In a text editor,
 having no maximum disables automatic line breaking, and the minimum
 (positive) maximum width depends on the width of the autowrap
 bitmap. The maximum width of a text editor includes its left and
 right padding (see @method[text% set-padding]) and its autowrap
 bitmap (see @method[text% set-autowrap-bitmap]).

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

}

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

When @racket[modified?] is @racket[#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 @racket[#f]), the undoer is
 disabled.

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

Finally, if @racket[modified?] is @racket[#f] and the internal
 modify-counter is set to @racket[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[(set-undo-preserves-all-history [on? any/c]) void?]{

When @racket[on?] is true, configures the editor to preserve all
editing history, including operations that have been undone, as long
as the maximum undo history is non-zero (see @method[editor<%>
set-max-undo-history]).  Otherwise, operations that are undone (and not
redone) before another operation are lost from the editor's history.

The default mode is determined by the @Resource{emacs-undo} preference
(see @secref["mredprefs"]).

@history[#:added "1.1"]}


@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 or
 @racket['forever].

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[(undo-preserves-all-history?) boolean?]{

Reports whether the editor is in preserve-all-history mode.
See @method[editor<%> set-undo-preserves-all-history] for more information.

@history[#:added "1.1"]}


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

Gets or sets a boolean that controls if files are saved in
@racket['text] or @racket['binary] mode (as in @racket[open-input-file]'s
@racket[#:mode] argument). This flag is consulted only when the
format is @racket['text] or @racket['text-force-cr]. 
See @method[editor<%> load-file] for information on 
formats.

The setting is consulted by
@method[editor<%> save-file] after @method[editor<%> on-save-file] is
called.

Overriding this method is a reliable way to detect changes to the internal
boolean.

@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
 @racket[#t] if there are no errors, @racket[#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 @racket[#t] if there are no errors, @racket[#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.
