Representer handling. | |
Methods for modifying the list of HFRepresenters attached to a controller. Attached representers receive the controllerDidChange: message when various properties of the controller change. A representer may only be attached to one controller at a time. Representers are retained by the controller. | |
| (NSArray *) | - representers |
| (void) | - addRepresenter: |
| (void) | - removeRepresenter: |
Property transactions | |
Methods for temporarily delaying notifying representers of property changes. There is a property transaction stack, and all property changes are collected until the last token is popped off the stack, at which point all representers are notified of all collected changes via representerChangedProperties:. To use this, call beginPropertyChangeTransaction, and record the token that is returned. Pass it to endPropertyChangeTransaction: to notify representers of all changed properties in bulk.
Tokens cannot be popped out of order - they are used only as a correctness check. | |
| (NSUInteger) | - beginPropertyChangeTransaction |
| (void) | - endPropertyChangeTransaction: |

Mouse selection | |
Methods to handle mouse selection. Representers that allow text selection should call beginSelectionWithEvent:forByteIndex: upon receiving a mouseDown event, and then continueSelectionWithEvent:forByteIndex: for mouseDragged events, terminating with endSelectionWithEvent:forByteIndex: upon receiving the mouse up. HFController will compute the correct selected ranges and propagate any changes via the HFControllerPropertyBits mechanism. | |

| (BOOL) | + prepareForChangeInFile:fromWritingByteArray: |
An HFController is the top point of ownership for a HexFiend object graph. It retains both its ByteArray (model) and its array of Representers (views).
You create an HFController via [[HFController alloc] init]. After that, give it an HFByteArray via setByteArray:, and some Representers via addRepresenter:. Then insert the Representers' views in a window, and you're done.
| - (NSArray *) representers |
Gets the current array of representers attached to this controller.
| - (void) addRepresenter: | (HFRepresenter *) | representer |
Adds a new representer to this controller.
| - (void) removeRepresenter: | (HFRepresenter *) | representer |
Removes an existing representer from this controller. The representer must be present in the array of representers.
| - (NSUInteger) beginPropertyChangeTransaction |
Begins delaying property change transactions. Returns a token that should be passed to endPropertyChangeTransactions:.
| - (void) endPropertyChangeTransaction: | (NSUInteger) | token |
Pass a token returned from beginPropertyChangeTransaction to this method to pop the transaction off the stack and, if the stack is empty, to notify Representers of all collected changes. Tokens cannot be popped out of order - they are used strictly as a correctness check.
| - (void) setByteArray: | (HFByteArray *) | val |
Sets the byte array for the HFController. The byte array must be non-nil.
| - (HFByteArray *) byteArray |
Returns the byte array for the HFController. In general, HFRepresenters should not use this to determine what bytes to display. Instead they should use copyBytes:range: or dataForRange: below.
| - (void) replaceByteArray: | (HFByteArray *) | newArray |
Replaces the entire byte array with a new one, preserving as much of the selection as possible. Unlike setByteArray:, this method is undoable, and intended to be used from representers that make a global change (such as Replace All).
| - (unsigned long long) totalLineCount |
Returns the number of lines on which the cursor may be placed. This is always at least 1, and is equivalent to (unsigned long long)(HFRoundUpToNextMultiple(contentsLength, bytesPerLine) / bytesPerLine)
| - (NSUInteger) bytesPerLine |
Indicates the number of bytes per line, which is a global property among all the line-oriented representers.
| - (CGFloat) lineHeight |
Returns the height of a line, in points. This is generally determined by the font. Representers that wish to align things to lines should use this.
| - (void) pulseSelection |
Begins selection pulsing (e.g. following a successful Find operation). Representers will receive callbacks indicating that HFControllerSelectionPulseAmount has changed.
| - (double) selectionPulseAmount |
Return the amount that the "Find pulse indicator" should show. 0 means no pulse, 1 means maximum pulse. This is useful for Representers that support find and replace.
| - (NSArray *) selectedContentsRanges |
Returns an array of HFRangeWrappers, representing the selected ranges. This method always contains at least one range. If there is no selection, then the result will contain a single range of length 0, with the location equal to the position of the cursor.
| - (void) setSelectedContentsRanges: | (NSArray *) | selectedRanges |
Explicitly set the selected contents ranges. Pass an array of HFRangeWrappers that meets the following criteria: The array must not be NULL. There always must be at least one selected range. If any range has length 0, there must be exactly one selected range. No range may extend beyond the contentsLength, with the exception of a single zero-length range, which may be at the end.
| - (IBAction) selectAll: | (id) | sender |
Selects the entire contents.
| - (unsigned long long) minimumSelectionLocation |
Returns the smallest value in the selected contents ranges, or the insertion location if the selection is empty.
| - (unsigned long long) maximumSelectionLocation |
Returns the largest HFMaxRange of the selected contents ranges, or the insertion location if the selection is empty.
| - (HFByteArray *) byteArrayForSelectedContentsRanges |
Convenience method for creating a byte array containing all of the selected bytes. If the selection has length 0, this returns an empty byte array.
| - (void) setBytesPerColumn: | (NSUInteger) | val |
| - (NSUInteger) bytesPerColumn |
| - (BOOL) inOverwriteMode |
Determines whether this HFController is in overwrite mode or not.
| - (void) setInOverwriteMode: | (BOOL) | val |
Sets whether we this HFController is in overwrite mode or not.
| - (BOOL) requiresOverwriteMode |
Returns YES if we must be in overwrite mode (because our backing data cannot have its size changed)
| - (HFFPRange) displayedLineRange |
Get the current displayed line range. The displayed line range is an HFFPRange (range of long doubles) containing the lines that are currently displayed.
The values may be fractional. That is, if only the bottom half of line 4 through the top two thirds of line 8 is shown, then the displayedLineRange.location will be 4.5 and the displayedLineRange.length will be 3.17 ( = 7.67 - 4.5). Representers are expected to be able to handle such fractional values.
| - (void) setDisplayedLineRange: | (HFFPRange) | range |
Sets the displayed line range. When setting the displayed line range, the given range must be nonnegative, and the maximum of the range must be no larger than the total line count. See the -displayedLineRange method for more information.
| - (void) maximizeVisibilityOfContentsRange: | (HFRange) | range |
Modify the displayedLineRange as little as possible so that as much of the given range as can fit is visible.
| - (void) centerContentsRange: | (HFRange) | range |
Modify the displayedLineRange as to center the given contents range. If the range is near the bottom or top, this will center as close as possible. If contents range is too large to fit, it centers the top of the range. contentsRange may be empty.
| - (NSFont *) font |
Get the current font.
| - (void) setFont: | (NSFont *) | font |
Set the current font.
| - (void) setUndoManager: | (NSUndoManager *) | manager |
Set the undo manager for this HFController. By default the undo manager for an HFController is nil. If one is not set, undo does not occur. This retains the undo manager.
| - (NSUndoManager *) undoManager |
Gets the undo manager for this HFController. By default the undo manager is nil. Undo will not be supported unless an undo manager is set.
| - (BOOL) editable |
Get the editable property, which determines whether the user can edit the document.
| - (void) setEditable: | (BOOL) | flag |
Set the editable property, which determines whether the user can edit the document.
| - (BOOL) shouldAntialias |
Returns whether text should be antialiased.
| - (void) setShouldAntialias: | (BOOL) | antialias |
Sets whether text should be antialiased.
| - (void) representer: | (HFRepresenter *) | rep | ||
| changedProperties: | (HFControllerPropertyBits) | properties | ||
Representer initiated property changes Called from a representer to indicate when some internal property of the representer has changed which requires that some properties be recalculated.
Callback for a representer-initiated change to some property. For example, if some property of a view changes that would cause the number of bytes per line to change, then the representer should call this method which will trigger the HFController to recompute the relevant properties.
| - (void) beginSelectionWithEvent: | (NSEvent *) | event | ||
| forByteIndex: | (unsigned long long) | byteIndex | ||
Begin a selection session, with a mouse down at the given byte index.
| - (void) continueSelectionWithEvent: | (NSEvent *) | event | ||
| forByteIndex: | (unsigned long long) | byteIndex | ||
Continue a selection session, whe the user drags over the given byte index.
| - (void) endSelectionWithEvent: | (NSEvent *) | event | ||
| forByteIndex: | (unsigned long long) | byteIndex | ||
End a selection session, with a mouse up at the given byte index.
| - (void) scrollWithScrollEvent: | (NSEvent *) | scrollEvent |
Trigger scrolling appropriate for the given scroll event.
| - (void) scrollByLines: | (long double) | lines |
Trigger scrolling by the given number of lines. If lines is positive, then the document is scrolled down; otherwise it is scrolled up.
| - (void) moveInDirection: | (HFControllerMovementDirection) | direction | ||
| byByteCount: | (unsigned long long) | amountToMove | ||
| withSelectionTransformation: | (HFControllerSelectionTransformation) | transformation | ||
| usingAnchor: | (BOOL) | useAnchor | ||
General purpose navigation function. Modify the selection in the given direction by the given number of bytes. The selection is modifed according to the given transformation. If useAnchor is set, then anchored selection is used; otherwise any anchor is discarded.
This has a few limitations:
| - (void) moveInDirection: | (HFControllerMovementDirection) | direction | ||
| withGranularity: | (HFControllerMovementGranularity) | granularity | ||
| andModifySelection: | (BOOL) | extendSelection | ||
Navigation designed for key events.
| - (void) moveToLineBoundaryInDirection: | (HFControllerMovementDirection) | direction | ||
| andModifySelection: | (BOOL) | extendSelection | ||
| - (BOOL) insertByteArray: | (HFByteArray *) | byteArray | ||
| replacingPreviousBytes: | (unsigned long long) | previousByteCount | ||
| allowUndoCoalescing: | (BOOL) | allowUndoCoalescing | ||
Replaces the selection with the given data. For something like a hex view representer, it takes two keypresses to create a whole byte; the way this is implemented, the first keypress goes into the data as a complete byte, and the second one (if any) replaces it. If previousByteCount > 0, then that many prior bytes are replaced, without breaking undo coalescing. For previousByteCount to be > 0, the following must be true: There is only one selected range, and it is of length 0, and its location >= previousByteCount
These functions return YES if they succeed, and NO if they fail. Currently they may fail only in overwrite mode, if you attempt to insert data that would require lengthening the byte array.
These methods are undoable.
| - (BOOL) insertData: | (NSData *) | data | ||
| replacingPreviousBytes: | (unsigned long long) | previousByteCount | ||
| allowUndoCoalescing: | (BOOL) | allowUndoCoalescing | ||
| - (void) deleteSelection |
Deletes the selection. This operation is undoable.
| - (void) deleteDirection: | (HFControllerMovementDirection) | direction |
If the selection is empty, deletes one byte in a given direction, which must be HFControllerDirectionLeft or HFControllerDirectionRight; if the selection is not empty, deletes the selection. Undoable.
| - (NSData *) dataForRange: | (HFRange) | range |
| - (void) copyBytes: | (unsigned char *) | bytes | ||
| range: | (HFRange) | range | ||
Copies data within the given HFRange into an in-memory buffer. This is equivalent to [[controller byteArray] copyBytes:bytes range:range].
| - (HFByteRangeAttributeArray *) byteRangeAttributeArray |
Convenience method that returns the attributes of the underlying byte array. You can message it directly to add and remove attributes. If you do so, be sure to call representer:changedProperties: with the HFControllerByteRangeAttributes bit
| - (HFByteRangeAttributeArray *) attributesForBytesInRange: | (HFRange) | range |
Returns the attributes for the given range. This is a union of the receiver's byteRangeAttributeArray properties and the properties returned by the byte array itself. range.length must be <= NSUIntegerMax.
| - (HFRange) rangeForBookmark: | (NSInteger) | bookmark |
Returns the range for the given bookmark. If there is no bookmark, returns {ULLONG_MAX, ULLONG_MAX}.
| - (void) setRange: | (HFRange) | range | ||
| forBookmark: | (NSInteger) | bookmark | ||
Sets the range for the given bookmark. Pass {ULLONG_MAX, ULLONG_MAX} to remove the bookmark. Undoable.
| - (NSIndexSet *) bookmarksInRange: | (HFRange) | range |
Returns an NSIndexSet of the bookmarks in the given range.
| - (unsigned long long) contentsLength |
Returns total number of bytes. This is equivalent to [[controller byteArray] length].
| + (BOOL) prepareForChangeInFile: | (NSURL *) | targetFile | ||
| fromWritingByteArray: | (HFByteArray *) | array | ||
Attempts to clear all dependencies on the given file (clipboard, undo, etc.) that could not be preserved if the file were written. Returns YES if we successfully prepared, NO if someone objected. This works by posting a HFPrepareForChangeInFileNotification. HFController does not register for this notification: instead the owners of the HFController are expected to register for HFPrepareForChangeInFileNotification and react appropriately.
| - (BOOL) clearUndoManagerDependenciesOnRanges: | (NSArray *) | ranges | ||
| inFile: | (HFFileReference *) | reference | ||
| hint: | (NSMutableDictionary *) | hint | ||
Attempts to break undo stack dependencies for writing the given file. If it is unable to do so, it will clear the controller's contributions to the stack. Returns YES if it successfully broke the dependencies, and NO if the stack had to be cleared.
