DESCRIPTION
       This  library  supports	frames	of  editable  text in a single font on
       raster displays, such as in sam(1) and rio(1).	Frames	may  hold  any
       character  except NUL (0).  Long lines are folded and tabs are at fixed
       intervals.

       The user-visible data structure, a Frame, is defined in <frame.h>:

	      typedef struct Frame Frame;
	      struct Frame
	      {
		    Font      *font;	      /* of chars in the frame */
		    Display   *display;	      /* on which frame appears */
		    Image     *b;	      /* on which frame appears */
		    Image     *cols[NCOL];    /* text and background colors */
		    Rectangle r;	      /* in which text appears */
		    Rectangle entire;	      /* of full frame */
		    Frbox     *box;
		    ulong     p0, p1;	      /* selection */
		    ushort    nbox, nalloc;
		    ushort    maxtab;	      /* max size of tab, in pixels */
		    ushort    nchars;	      /* # runes in frame */
		    ushort    nlines;	      /* # lines with text */
		    ushort    maxlines;	      /* total # lines in frame */
		    ushort    lastlinefull;   /* last line fills frame */
		    ushort    modified;	      /* changed since frselect() */
		    Image     *tick;	      /* typing tick */
		    Image     *tickback;      /* saved image under tick */
		    int	      ticked;	      /* flag: is tick onscreen? */
	      };

       Frbox is an internal type and is not used by the interface.  P0 and  p1
       may  be	changed by the application provided the selection routines are
       called afterwards to maintain a consistent display.  Maxtab  determines
       the  size  of  tab  stops.   Frinit sets it to 8 times the width of a 0
       (zero) character in the font; it may be	changed	 before	 any  text  is
       added to the frame.  The other elements of the structure are maintained
       by the library and should not be modified directly.

       The text within frames is not directly addressable; instead frames  are
       designed	 to work alongside another structure that holds the text.  The
       typical application is to display a section of a longer	document  such
       as  a text file or terminal session.  Usually the program will keep its
       own copy of the text in the window (probably as an array of Runes)  and
       pass components of this text to the frame routines to display the visi‐
       ble portion.  Only the text that is visible is held by the  Frame;  the
       application must check maxlines, nlines, and lastlinefull to determine,
       for example, whether new text needs to be appended at the  end  of  the
       Frame after calling frdelete (q.v.).

       There  are  no  routines in the library to allocate Frames; instead the
       interface assumes that Frames will be components of larger  structures.
       Frinit  prepares	 the  Frame f so characters drawn in it will appear in
       the single Font ft.  It then calls frsetrects and  frinittick  to  ini‐
       tialize	the geometry for the Frame.  The Image b is where the Frame is
       to be drawn; Rectangle r defines the limit of the portion of the	 Image
       the  text  will	occupy.	  The  Image pointer may be null, allowing the
       other routines to be called to maintain the associated  data  structure
       in, for example, an obscured window.

       The array of Images cols sets the colors in which text and borders will
       be drawn.  The background of the frame will be drawn in cols[BACK]; the
       background of highlighted text in cols[HIGH]; borders and scroll bar in
       cols[BORD];  regular  text  in  cols[TEXT];  and	 highlighted  text  in
       cols[HTEXT].

       Frclear	frees  the  internal  structures associated with f, permitting
       another frinit or frsetrects on the Frame.  It does not clear the asso‐
       ciated  display.	  If  f	 is to be deallocated, the associated Font and
       Image must be freed separately.	The resize argument should be non-zero
       if  the	frame  is  to  be redrawn with a different font; otherwise the
       frame will maintain some data structures associated with the font.

       To resize a Frame, use frclear and frinit and then frinsert  (q.v.)  to
       recreate	 the display.  If a Frame is being moved but not resized, that
       is, if the shape of its containing rectangle is unchanged, it is suffi‐
       cient  to  use draw(2) to copy the containing rectangle from the old to
       the new location and then call frsetrects to establish the  new	geome‐
       try.   (It  is  unnecessary to call frinittick unless the font size has
       changed.)  No redrawing is necessary.

       Frames hold text as runes, not as bytes.	 Frptofchar returns the	 loca‐
       tion of the upper left corner of the p'th rune, starting from 0, in the
       Frame f.	 If f holds fewer than p runes, frptofchar returns  the	 loca‐
       tion  of the upper right corner of the last character in f.  Frcharofpt
       is the inverse: it returns the index of the closest rune whose  image's
       upper left corner is up and to the left of pt.

       Frinsert	 inserts  into	Frame  f  starting  at	rune index p the runes
       between r0 and r1.  If a NUL (0)	 character  is	inserted,  chaos  will
       ensue.	Tabs  and  newlines  are handled by the library, but all other
       characters, including control  characters,  are	just  displayed.   For
       example, backspaces are printed; to erase a character, use frdelete.

       Frdelete	 deletes  from the Frame the text between p0 and p1; p1 points
       at the first rune beyond the deletion.

       Frselect tracks the mouse to select a contiguous string of text in  the
       Frame.	When  called, a mouse button is typically down.	 Frselect will
       return when the button state has changed (some  buttons	may  still  be
       down) and will set f->p0 and f->p1 to the selected range of text.

       Programs that wish to manage the selection themselves have several rou‐
       tines to help.  They involve the maintenance of the `tick', the	verti‐
       cal  line  indicating a null selection between characters, and the col‐
       ored region representing a non-null selection.  Frtick draws (if up  is
       non-zero)  or  removes  (if up is zero) the tick at the screen position
       indicated by pt.	 Frdrawsel repaints a section of the frame,  delimited
       by  character  positions	 p0  and  p1,  either with plain background or
       entirely highlighted, according to the flag highlighted,	 managing  the
       tick appropriately.  The point pt0 is the geometrical location of p0 on
       the screen; like all of the selection-helper routines' Point arguments,
       it  must	 be  a	value generated by frptofchar.	Frdrawsel0 is a lower-
       level routine, taking as arguments a background color, back,  and  text
       color,  text.   It  assumes  that  the  tick  is being handled (removed
       beforehand, replaced afterwards, as required) by its caller.  Frselect‐
       paint  uses  a solid color, col, to paint a region of the frame defined
       by the Points p0 and p1.
