public static java.awt.Rectangle getLineWidthUpTo(RSyntaxTextArea textArea,
                                                  javax.swing.text.Segment s,
                                                  int p0,
                                                  int p1,
                                                  javax.swing.text.TabExpander e,

                                                  int x0)
                                           throws javax.swing.text.BadLocationException
Returns the bounding box (in the current view) of a specified position in the model. This method is designed for line-wrapped views to use, as it allows you to specify a "starting position" in the line, from which the x-value is assumed to be zero. The idea is that you specify the first character in a physical line as p0, as this is the character where the x-pixel value is 0.

Parameters:
textArea - The text area containing the text.
s - A segment in which to load the line. This is passed in so we don't have to reallocate a new Segment for each call.
p0 - The starting position in the physical line in the document.
p1 - The position for which to get the bounding box in the view.
e - How to expand tabs.
rect - The rectangle whose x- and width-values are changed to represent the bounding box of p1. This is reused to keep from needlessly reallocating Rectangles.
x0 - The x-coordinate (pixel) marking the left-hand border of the text. This is useful if the text area has a border, for example.
Returns:
The bounding box in the view of the character p1.
Throws:
javax.swing.text.BadLocationException - If p0 or p1 is not a valid location in the specified text area's document.
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - If p0 and p1 are not on the same line.

getMatchingBracketPosition

public static java.awt.Point getMatchingBracketPosition(RSyntaxTextArea textArea,
                                                        java.awt.Point input)
Returns the location of the bracket paired with the one at the current caret position.

Parameters:
textArea - The text area.
input - A point to use as the return value. If this is null, a new object is created and returned.
Returns:
A point representing the matched bracket info. The "x" field is the offset of the bracket at the caret position (either just before or just after the caret), and the "y" field is the offset of the matched bracket. Both "x" and "y" will be -1 if there isn't a matching bracket (or the caret isn't on a bracket).

getNextImportantToken

public static final Token getNextImportantToken(Token t,
                                                RSyntaxTextArea textArea,
                                                int line)
Returns the next non-whitespace, non-comment token in a text area.

Parameters:
t - The next token in this line's token list.
textArea - The text area.
line - The current line index (the line index of t).
Returns:
The next non-whitespace, non-comment token, or null if there isn't one.

                                     throws javax.swing.text.BadLocationException
Provides a way to determine the next visually represented model location at which one might place a caret. Some views may not be visible, they might not be in the same order found in the model, or they just might not allow access to some of the locations in the model.

NOTE: You should only call this method if the passed-in javax.swing.text.View is an instance of TokenOrientedView and javax.swing.text.TabExpander; otherwise, a ClassCastException could be thrown.

Parameters:
pos - the position to convert >= 0
a - the allocated region in which to render
direction - the direction from the current position that can be thought of as the arrow keys typically found on a keyboard. This will be one of the following values:

  • SwingConstants.EAST
  • SwingConstants.NORTH
  • SwingConstants.SOUTH
Returns:
the location within the model that best represents the next location visual position
Throws:
javax.swing.text.BadLocationException
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if direction doesn't have one of the legal values above

x - the X coordinate >= 0
Returns:
the position >= 0 if the request can be computed, otherwise a value of -1 will be returned.
