Eli Barzilay c0a8a01222 Changed @itemize{...} to @itemize[...] (done after comparing the doc
tree and verifying that there are no changes).
(Also fixed a few bugs that were in the code)

@(require "common.ss")
@definterface/title[area<%> ()]{
An @scheme[area<%>] object is either a window or a windowless
container for managing the position and size of other areas. An
@scheme[area<%>] can be a container, a containee, or both. The only
areas without a parent are top-level windows.
All @scheme[area<%>] classes accept the following named instantiation
arguments:
@itemize[
@item{@indexed-scheme[min-width] --- default is the initial graphical minimum width; passed to
@method[area<%> min-width]}
@item{@indexed-scheme[min-height] --- default is the initial graphical minimum height; passed to
@method[area<%> min-height]}
@item{@indexed-scheme[stretchable-width] --- default is class-specific; passed to
@method[area<%> stretchable-width]}
@item{@indexed-scheme[stretchable-height] --- default is class-specific; passed to
@method[area<%> stretchable-height]}
]
@defmethod[(get-graphical-min-size)
(values (integer-in 0 10000)
(integer-in 0 10000))]{
Returns the area's graphical minimum size as two values: the minimum
width and the minimum height (in pixels).
See @|geomdiscuss| for more information. Note that the return value
@italic{does not} depend on the area's
@method[area<%> min-width] and
@method[area<%> min-height] settings.
}
@defmethod[(get-parent)
(or/c (is-a?/c area-container<%>) false/c)]{
Returns the area's parent. A top-level window may have no parent (in
which case @scheme[#f] is returned), or it may have another top-level
window as its parent.
}
@defmethod[(get-top-level-window)
(or/c (is-a?/c frame%) (is-a?/c dialog))]{
Returns the area's closest frame or dialog ancestor. For a frame or
dialog area, the frame or dialog itself is returned.
}
@defmethod*[([(min-width)
(integer-in 0 10000)]
[(min-width [w (integer-in 0 10000)])
void?])]{
Gets or sets the area's minimum width (in pixels) for geometry
management.
The minimum width is ignored when it is smaller than the area's
@tech{graphical minimum width}, or when it is smaller
than the width reported by
@method[area-container<%> container-size] if the area is a container. See @|geomdiscuss| for more information.
An area's initial minimum width is its graphical minimum width. See
also
@method[area<%> get-graphical-min-size] .
When setting the minimum width, if @scheme[w] is smaller than the
internal hard minimum, @|MismatchExn|.
}
@defmethod*[([(min-height)
(integer-in 0 10000)]
[(min-height [h (integer-in 0 10000)])
void?])]{
Gets or sets the area's minimum height for geometry management.
The minimum height is ignored when it is smaller than the area's
@tech{graphical minimum height}, or when it is smaller
than the height reported by
@method[area-container<%> container-size] if the area is a container. See @|geomdiscuss| for more information.
An area's initial minimum height is its graphical minimum height. See
also
@method[area<%> get-graphical-min-size] .
When setting the minimum height (in pixels); if @scheme[h] is smaller
than the internal hard minimum, @|MismatchExn|.
}
@defmethod*[([(stretchable-height)
boolean?]
[(stretchable-height [stretch? any/c])
void?])]{
Gets or sets the area's vertical stretchability for geometry
management. See @|geomdiscuss| for more information.
}
@defmethod*[([(stretchable-width)
boolean?]
[(stretchable-width [stretch? any/c])
void?])]{
Gets or sets the area's horizontal stretchability for geometry
management. See @|geomdiscuss| for more information.
