See @|admindiscuss| for information about the role of administrators.
The @scheme[editor-admin%] class is never instantiated directly. It
is not even instantiated through derived classes by most programmers;
each @scheme[editor-canvas%] and @scheme[editor-snip%] object
creates its own administrator. However, it may be useful to derive a
new instance of this class to display editors in a new context. Also,
it may be useful to call the methods of an existing administrator
from an owned editor.
To create a new @scheme[editor-admin%] class, all methods described
here must be overridden. They are all invoked by the administrator's
editor.
@defconstructor[()]{
Creates a (useless) editor administrator.

@methspec{
Returns either the drawing context into which the editor is displayed,
or the context into which it is currently being drawn. When the
editor is not embedded, the returned context is always the drawing
content into which the editor is displayed. If the editor is not
displayed, @scheme[#f] is returned.
The origin of the drawing context is also returned, translated into
the local coordinates of the editor. For an embedded editor, the
returned origin is reliable only while the editor is being drawn, or
while it receives a mouse or keyboard event.

Same as @method[editor-admin% get-view] unless the editor is visible

@methspec{
Gets the visible region of the editor within its @techlink{display} (in
editor coordinates), or the overall size of the viewing region in the
editor's top-level @techlink{display} (for an embedded editor).
If the @techlink{display} is an editor canvas, see also
@method[area-container<%> reflow-container]. The viewing area within
an editor canvas is not the full client area of the canvas, because
an editor canvas installs a whitespace border around a displayed
editor within the client area.
The calculation of the editor's visible region is based on the current
size and scrollbar values of the top-level @techlink{display}. For an
editor canvas @techlink{display}, the region reported by
@method[editor-admin% get-view] does not depend on whether the canvas
is hidden, obscured by other windows, or moved off the edge of the
screen.
@boxisfillnull[(scheme x) @elem{the left edge of the visible region in editor coordinates}]
@boxisfillnull[(scheme y) @elem{the top edge of the visible region in editor coordinates}]
@boxisfillnull[(scheme w) @elem{the width of the visible region, which may be larger than the editor itself}]
@boxisfillnull[(scheme h) @elem{the height of the visible region, which may be larger than the editor itself}]
If an editor is fully visible and @scheme[full?] is @scheme[#f], then
@scheme[x] and @scheme[y] will both be filled with @scheme[0].
If @scheme[full?] is a true value, then the returned area is the view
area of the top-level @techlink{display} for the editor. This result
is different only when the editor is embedded in another editor; in
that case, the @scheme[x] and @scheme[y] values may be meaningless,
because they are in the coordinate system of the immediate editor
within the top-level @techlink{display}.

Called by the editor to request a refresh to its displayed
representation. When the administrator decides that the displayed
should be refreshed, it calls the editor's @method[editor<%> refresh]
method.
The @scheme[localx], @scheme[localy], @scheme[w], and @scheme[h]
arguments specify a region of the editor to be updated (in editor
coordinates).

@defmethod[(refresh-delayed?)

@defmethod[(resized [refresh? any/c])
void?]{
@methspec{
Called by the editor to notify its @techlink{display} that the
editor's size or scroll count has changed, so the scrollbars need to
be adjusted to reflect the new size. The editor generally needs to be
updated after a resize, but the editor decides whether the update
should occur immediately. If @scheme[refresh?] is not @scheme[#f],
then the editor is requesting to be updated immediately.

[bias (one-of/c 'start 'end 'none) 'none])
boolean?]{
@methspec{
Called by the editor to request scrolling so that the given region is
visible. The editor generally needs to be updated after a scroll, but
the editor decides whether the update should occur immediately.
The @scheme[localx], @scheme[localy], @scheme[w], and @scheme[h]
arguments specify a region of the editor to be made visible by the
scroll (in editor coordinates).
If @scheme[refresh?] is not @scheme[#f], then the editor is requesting
to be updated immediately.
The @scheme[bias] argument is one of:
@itemize[
@item{@scheme['start] --- if the range doesn't fit in the visible area, show the top-left region}
@item{@scheme['none] --- no special scrolling instructions}
@item{@scheme['end] --- if the range doesn't fit in the visible area, show the bottom-right region}
]
The return value is @scheme[#t] if the @techlink{display} is scrolled,
@scheme[#f] if not (either because the requested region is already
visible, because the @techlink{display} has zero size, or because the
editor is currently printing).
If an editor has multiple @techlink{displays}, then if any display
currently has the keyboard focus, it is scrolled. Otherwise, the
``primary owner'' of the editor (see @method[editor-canvas%
call-as-primary-owner]) is scrolled.

@defmethod[(update-cursor)

Queues an update for the cursor in the @techlink{display} for this
editor. The actual cursor used will be determined by calling the
editor's @method[editor<%> adjust-cursor] method.
