The embedded gui collection provides a class hierarchy for
creating graphical boxes within mred's editors with geometry
management that mirrors that of vertical-panel% and
horizontal-panel%

============================================================

The _aligned-pasteboard%_ class is derived from pasteboard%
It implements alignment-parent<%> and acts as the top of an
alignment<%> tree.

============================================================

_alignment<%> is derived from dllist<%> and requires the
following additional methods.

> (send an-alignment get-parent) -> (is-a?/c alignment-parent<%>)

The parent of the alignment in the tree.

> (send an-alignment set-min-sizes) -> void

Tells the alignment that its sizes should be calculated
      
> (send an-alignment align x-offset y-offset width height) -> void
  x-offset : nonnegative?
  y-offset : nonnegative?
  width : nonnegative?
  height : nonnegative?
      
Tells the alignment to align its children on the pasteboard
in the given rectangle defined by a width, height and a top
left corner point given as offsets into the pasteboards top
left corner.

> (send an-alignment get-min-width) -> nonnegative?

The minimum width this alignment must be
      
> (send an-alignment get-min-height) -> nonnegative?

The minimum height this alignment must be
      
> (send an-alignment stretchable-width value) -> void
  value : boolean?

Sets the property of stretchability in the x dimension

> (send an-alignment stretchable-width) -> boolean?

True if the alignment can be stretched in the x dimension
      
> (send an-alignment stretchable-height value) -> void
  value : boolean?

Sets the property of stretchability in the y dimension

> (send an-alignment stretchable-height) -> boolean?

True if the alignment can be stretched in the y dimension
      
> (send an-alignment show/hide show?) -> void
  show? : boolean?
  
Tells the alignment to show or hide its children
      
> (send an-alignment show show?) -> void
  show? : boolean?

Tells the alignment that its show state is the given value
and it should show or hide its children accordingly.

============================================================

_alignment-parent<%>_s implement the following methods.

> (send an-alignment-parent get-pasteboard) -> (is-a?/c pasteboard%)

The pasteboard that this alignment is being displayed to
      
> (send an-alignment-parent add-child child) -> void
  child : (is-a?/c alignment<%>)
  after : (union (is-a?/c alignment<%>) false?) = false

Add the given alignment as a child after the existing child
      
> (send an-alignment-parent delete-child child) -> void
  child : (is-a?/c alignment<%>)

Deletes a child from the the alignments
      
> (send an-alignment-parent is-shown?) -> boolean?

True if the alignment is being shown (accounting for its parent being shown)

============================================================

The _stretchable-snip<%>_ interface must be implemented
by any snip class who's objects will be stretchable when
inserted into an aligned-pasteboard<%> within a
snip-wrapper%.

> (send a-stretchable-snip get-aligned-min-width) -> nonnegative?

The minimum width that the snip can be resized to

> (send a-stretchable-snip get-aligned-min-height) -> nonnegative?

> (send a-stretchable-snip stretchable-width) -> boolean?

Whether or not the snip can be stretched in the X dimension

> (send a-stretchable-snip stretchable-height) -> boolean?

Whether or not the snip can be stretched in the Y dimension

============================================================

_dllist<%>_ is an interface which makes a class a
doubly-linked list and requires the following methods

> (send a-dlllist next) -> (is-a?/c dllist<%>)

The next item in the list

> (send a-dllist next new-next) -> void
  new-next : (is-a?/c dllist<%>)

Set the next field to be the given dllist

> (send a-dllist prev) -> (is-a?/c dllist<%>)

The previous item in the list

> (send a-dllist prev new-prev) -> void
  new-prev : (is-a?/c dllist<%>)

Set the previous field to be the given dllist

> (send a-dllist for-each f) -> void
  f : ((is-a?/c dllist<%>) . -> . void)

Applies f to every element of the dllist

> (send a-dllist map-to-list f) -> (listof any?)
  f : ((is-a?/c dllist<%>) . -> . any?)

A Scheme list of the results of applying f to every element
of the dllist.

============================================================

_vertical-alignment%_ and _horizontal-alignment%_ are
geometry management classes of the embedded-gui toolkit. They
implement alignment<%> and alignment-parent<%> and are
instantiated as follows

> (new vertical-alignment% (parent _) [(show? _)] [(after _)])
  parent : (is-a?/c alignment-parent<%>)
  show? : boolean? = true
  after : (union (is-a?/c alignment<%>) false?) = false

Inserts a new vertical alignment into the parent optionally
after a given alignment also in the parent. The alignment
can be initially shown or hidden.

============================================================

_snip-wrapper%_ is an alignment<%> that introduces a snip
into the alignment tree. snip%s are not instantiated with
a parent nor do they implement alignment<%>. snip-wrapper%
is an adapter for snip%s.

> (new snip-wrapper% (parent _) (snip _))
  parent : (is-a?/c alignment-parent<%>)
  snip : (is-a?/c snip%)

============================================================

_text-button-snip%_, button-snip%, and toggle-button-snip%
are three derivative snip% classes that act like buttons
when inserted into an editor.

Note: In order to allow the buttons to be pushed the editor
in which they appear must forward clicks to them properly.
(see click-forwarding-editor-mixin)

> (new text-button-snip% (label _) (callback _))
  label : string?
  callback : ((is-a?/c text-button-snip%) (is-a?/c event%) . -> . void)

> (new button-snip% (images _) (callback _))
  images : (pair string? string?)
  callback : ((is-a?/c button-snip%) (is-a?/c event%) . -> . void)

The images argument is a pair filenames to be load as the
button image. The car of the pair is the normal button and the
cdr of the pair is the depressed button image.

> (new toggle-button-snip% (images-off _) (images-on _) (turn-off _) (turn-on _) [(state _)])
  images-off : (pair string string)
  images-on : (pair string string)
  turn-on : ((is-a?/c toggle-button-snip%) (is-a?/c event%) . -> . void)
  turn-off : ((is-a?/c toggle-button-snip%) (is-a?/c event%) . -> . void)
  state : (symbols 'on 'off) = 'on

Like button-snip but given two pairs of images, images-on
and images-off, and two callback, turn-on and turn-off. The
initial can be passed as an argument but is by default on.

============================================================

_embedded-button%_, _embedded-text-button%_, and
_embedded-toggle-button%_ are button classes derived from
snip-wrapper% that wrap their corresponding snip% derivative
buttons from above. The embedded buttons implement
alignment<%> and take an addition parent init argument.

============================================================

The _embedded-message%_ is a label with no IO.

> (new embedded-message% (parent _) (label _))
  parent : (is-a?/c alignment-parent<%>)
  label : string?

============================================================

_fixed-width-label-snip_ makes it easy to align GUI elements
that are labeled with arbitrary strings.
fixed-width-label-snip is an abstract snip% class that takes
a list of strings, labels, and returns a snip% class. The
returned class may be instantiated with a string, label,
argument matching any of the strings in the list. The
resultant object is a snip% displaying label with a width as
wide as is required to display the longest string in labels.

============================================================

_vline%_ and _hline%_ are two graphical elements of the
alignment<%> hierarchy that display a vertical or horizontal
line across the region they are inserted into. They implement
alignment<%>.

> (new vline% (parent _))
  parent : (is-a?/c alignment-parent<%>)

============================================================

_stretchable-editor-snip-mixin_ gives an editor snip the
_stretchable-snip<%>_ interface allowing it to be stretched
to fit it's alignment-parent<%>'s alloted width. Stretchable
snips are useful as the snip of a snip-wrapper%.

_stretchable-editor-snip%_ is (stretcable-editor-snip-mixin editor-snip%)

> (new stretchable-editor-snip% [(stretchable-width _)] [(stretchable-height _)])
  stretchable-width : boolean? = true
  stretchable-height : boolean? = true

============================================================

_tabbable-text<%>_ is an interface for tabbing between
text%s. It requires the following methods.

> (send a-tabbable-text set-caret-owner) -> void

Takes the caret into the tabbable-text<%>

> (send a-tabbable-text set-ahead) -> void

The thunk to execute when tabbing ahead

> (send a-tabbable-text set-back) -> void

The thunk to execute when tabbing back

============================================================

_tabbable-text-mixin_ gives a text% the tabbable-text<%>
interface and gives it key bindings to tab ahead and back.

============================================================

The _set-tabbing_ function sets the tabbing order of
tabbable-text<%>s by setting each text's set-ahead and
set-back thunks to point to it's neighbor in the argument
list.

> (set-tabbing a-text ...)
  a-text : (is-a?/c tabbable-text<%>)

============================================================

The _grey-editor-snip-mixin_ and _grey-editor-mixin_ give an
editor-snip% and editor% a colored background indicating they
are disabled. The editor is not disabled by the mixin however,
and must be locked separately.

============================================================

The _single-line-text-mixin_ restricts a text to one line by
overriding its key bindings to do nothing on enter.

============================================================

The _cue-text-mixin_ gives a text% an instantiation argument
of a string that is displayed in the text% initially in grey.
This text disappears when the text gets focus. This is
useful for labeling texts without needing to take up space.

_cue-text%_ is (cue-text-mixin text%)

> (new cue-text% [(cue-text _)])
  cue-text : string? = ""
  color : string = "gray"
  behavior : (listof (symbols 'on-focus 'on-char)) = '(on-focus)

> (send a-cue-text clear-cue-text)

Clears the cue text, if it's still present.

============================================================

The following functions are useful for working with snips

> (snip-width snip) -> number?
  snip : (is-a?/c snip%)

The width of a snip in the parent pasteboard
    
> (snip-height snip)
  snip : (is-a?/c snip%)

The height of a snip in the parent pasteboard
  
> (snip-min-width snip)
  snip : (is-a?/c snip%)

The minimum width of the snip
  
> (snip-min-height snip)
  snip : (is-a?/c snip%)

The minimum height of the snip
  
> (snip-parent snip)
  snip : (is-a?/c snip%)

The pasteboard that contains the snip
  
> (fold-snip f init-acc snip) -> any?
  f : ((is-a?/c snip%) any? . -> . any?)
  init-acc : any?
  snip : (is-a?/c snip%)

The application of f on all snips from snip to the end in a
foldl foldr manner
  
> (for-each-snip f first-snip init-lists ...) -> void
  f : ((is-a?/c snip%) . -> . void)
  first-snip : (is-a?/c snip%)
  init-lists : (listof any?)

Applies the function to all the snips
  
> (map-snip f first-snip init-lists ...) -> (listof any?)
  f : ((is-a?/c snip%) . -> . any?)
  first-snip : (is-a?/c snip%)
  init-lists : (listof any?)

A list of f applied to each snip
  
> (stretchable-width? snip) -> boolean?
  snip : (is-a?/c snip%)

True if the snip can be resized in the x dimension
  
> (stretchable-height? snip) -> boolean?
  snip : (is-a?/c snip%)

True if the snip can be resized in the y dimension
