@(require "common.ss")
@defclass/title[string-snip% snip% ()]{
An instance of @scheme[string-snip%] is created automatically when
text is inserted into a text editor. See also @xmethod[text%
on-new-string-snip].
@defconstructor*/make[(([allocsize nonnegative-exact-integer? 0])
([s string?]))]{
Creates a string snip whose initial content is @scheme[s], if
supplied, empty otherwise. In the latter case, the optional
@scheme[allocsize] argument is a hint about how much storage space
for text should be initially allocated by the snip.
}
@defmethod[(insert [s string?]
[len nonnegative-exact-integer?]
[pos nonnegative-exact-integer? 0])
void?]{
Inserts @scheme[s] (with length @scheme[len]) into the snip at relative
@techlink{position} @scheme[pos] within the snip.
}
@defmethod[(read [len nonnegative-exact-integer?]
[f (is-a?/c editor-stream-in%)])
void?]{
Reads the snip's data from the given stream.
The @scheme[len] argument specifies the maximum length of the text to
be read. (When a text snip is written to a file, the very first
field is the length of the text contained in the snip.) This method
is usually invoked by the text snip class's @method[snip-class% read]
method.
