12098 | 53 Processing user input takes absolute priority over redisplay. If you |
54 call these functions when input is available, they do nothing | |
55 immediately, but a full redisplay does happen eventually---after all the | |
56 input has been processed. | |
57 | |
6598 | 58 Normally, suspending and resuming Emacs also refreshes the screen. |
59 Some terminal emulators record separate contents for display-oriented | |
60 programs such as Emacs and for ordinary sequential display. If you are | |
61 using such a terminal, you might want to inhibit the redisplay on | |
9009 | 62 resumption. |

152 If your buffer contains @emph{very} long lines, and you use |
12067 | 153 continuation to display them, just thinking about them can make Emacs |
12098 | 154 redisplay slow. The column computation and indentation functions also |
155 become slow. Then you might find it advisable to set | |
156 @code{cache-long-line-scans} to @code{t}. | |
12067 | 157 |
158 @defvar cache-long-line-scans | |
159 If this variable is non-@code{nil}, various indentation and motion | |
12098 | 160 functions, and Emacs redisplay, cache the results of scanning the |
161 buffer, and consult the cache to avoid rescanning regions of the buffer | |
162 unless they are modified. | |
12067 | 163 |
12098 | 164 Turning on the cache slows down processing of short lines somewhat. |

173 | |
12067 | 174 The @dfn{echo area} is used for displaying messages made with the |
6598 | 175 @code{message} primitive, and for echoing keystrokes. It is not the |
176 same as the minibuffer, despite the fact that the minibuffer appears | |
177 (when active) in the same place on the screen as the echo area. The | |
178 @cite{GNU Emacs Manual} specifies the rules for resolving conflicts | |
179 between the echo area and the minibuffer for use of that screen space | |
180 (@pxref{Minibuffer,, The Minibuffer, emacs, The GNU Emacs Manual}). | |
181 Error messages appear in the echo area; see @ref{Errors}. | |
182 | |
183 You can write output in the echo area by using the Lisp printing | |
184 functions with @code{t} as the stream (@pxref{Output Functions}), or as | |

306 This variable specifies how many lines to keep in the @samp{*Messages*} | |

308 keep. The value @code{nil} disables message logging entirely. Here's | |

339 In the simplest case, any non-@code{nil} @code{invisible} property makes | |

342 @code{invisible} property works. |
12067 | 343 |
344 More generally, you can use the variable @code{buffer-invisibility-spec} | |
345 to control which values of the @code{invisible} property make text | |
346 invisible. This permits you to classify the text into different subsets | |
347 in advance, by giving them different @code{invisible} values, and | |
348 subsequently make various subsets visible or invisible by changing the | |
349 value of @code{buffer-invisibility-spec}. | |
350 | |
351 Controlling visibility with @code{buffer-invisibility-spec} is | |
25875 | 352 especially useful in a program to display the list of entries in a |
353 database. It permits the implementation of convenient filtering | |
354 commands to view just a part of the entries in the database. Setting | |
355 this variable is very fast, much faster than scanning all the text in | |
356 the buffer looking for properties to change. | |
12067 | 357 |
358 @defvar buffer-invisibility-spec | |
359 This variable specifies which kinds of @code{invisible} properties | |
360 actually make a character invisible. | |
361 | |
362 @table @asis | |
363 @item @code{t} | |
364 A character is invisible if its @code{invisible} property is | |
365 non-@code{nil}. This is the default. | |

452 replaced this feature. |
12067 | 453 |
454 In the second variant, the choice of lines to hide is made | |
12098 | 455 automatically based on indentation. This variant is designed to be a |
12067 | 456 user-level feature. |
6598 | 457 |
458 The way you control explicit selective display is by replacing a | |
9009 | 459 newline (control-j) with a carriage return (control-m). The text that |
6598 | 460 was formerly a line following that newline is now invisible. Strictly |
461 speaking, it is temporarily no longer a line at all, since only newlines | |
462 can separate lines; it is now part of the previous line. | |
463 | |
464 Selective display does not directly affect editing commands. For | |
465 example, @kbd{C-f} (@code{forward-char}) moves point unhesitatingly into | |
466 invisible text. However, the replacement of newline characters with | |
467 carriage return characters affects some editing commands. For example, | |
468 @code{next-line} skips invisible lines, since it searches only for | |
469 newlines. Modes that use selective display can also define commands | |
470 that take account of the newlines, or that make parts of the text | |
471 visible or invisible. | |
472 | |
473 When you write a selectively displayed buffer into a file, all the | |
474 control-m's are output as newlines. This means that when you next read | |
475 in the file, it looks OK, with nothing invisible. The selective display | |
476 effect is seen only within Emacs. | |
477 | |
478 @defvar selective-display | |
479 This buffer-local variable enables selective display. This means that | |
480 lines, or portions of lines, may be made invisible. | |
481 | |
482 @itemize @bullet | |
483 @item | |
25875 | 484 If the value of @code{selective-display} is @code{t}, then the character |
485 control-m marks the start of invisible text; the control-m, and the rest | |
486 of the line following it, are not displayed. This is explicit selective | |
487 display. | |
6598 | 488 |
489 @item | |
490 If the value of @code{selective-display} is a positive integer, then | |
491 lines that start with more than that many columns of indentation are not | |
492 displayed. | |
493 @end itemize | |
494 | |
495 When some portion of a buffer is invisible, the vertical movement | |
496 commands operate as if that portion did not exist, allowing a single | |
497 @code{next-line} command to skip any number of invisible lines. | |
498 However, character movement commands (such as @code{forward-char}) do | |
499 not skip the invisible portion, and it is possible (if tricky) to insert | |
500 or delete text in an invisible portion. | |
501 | |
502 In the examples below, we show the @emph{display appearance} of the | |
503 buffer @code{foo}, which changes with the value of | |
504 @code{selective-display}. The @emph{contents} of the buffer do not | |
505 change. | |
506 | |
507 @example | |
508 @group | |
509 (setq selective-display nil) | |
510 @result{} nil | |

533 @end example | |
534 @end defvar | |
535 | |
536 @defvar selective-display-ellipses | |
537 If this buffer-local variable is non-@code{nil}, then Emacs displays | |
538 @samp{@dots{}} at the end of a line that is followed by invisible text. | |
539 This example is a continuation of the previous one. | |
540 | |
541 @example | |
542 @group | |
543 (setq selective-display-ellipses t) | |

571 particular line, or @code{nil} if the arrow feature is not in use. | |
29471 | 572 On a graphical display the contents of the string are ignored; instead a |

6598 | 574 @end defvar |
575 | |
576 @defvar overlay-arrow-position | |
9009 | 577 This variable holds a marker that indicates where to display the overlay |
29471 | 578 arrow. It should point at the beginning of a line. On a non-graphical |
579 display the arrow text | |
9009 | 580 appears at the beginning of that line, overlaying any text that would |
581 otherwise appear. Since the arrow is usually short, and the line | |
582 usually begins with indentation, normally nothing significant is | |
583 overwritten. | |
6598 | 584 |
9009 | 585 The overlay string is displayed only in the buffer that this marker |
6598 | 586 points into. Thus, only one buffer can have an overlay arrow at any |
587 given time. | |

675 This normal hook is run by @code{with-output-to-temp-buffer} after |
42082 | 676 displaying the temporary buffer. When the hook runs, the temporary buffer |
677 is current, and the window it was displayed in is selected. This hook | |
678 is normally set up with a function to make the buffer read only, and | |
679 find function names and variable names in it, provided the major mode | |
680 is Help mode. | |

683 @defun momentary-string-display string position &optional char message | |
684 This function momentarily displays @var{string} in the current buffer at | |
685 @var{position}. It has no effect on the undo list or on the buffer's | |
686 modification status. | |
687 | |
688 The momentary display remains until the next input event. If the next | |
689 input event is @var{char}, @code{momentary-string-display} ignores it | |
690 and returns. Otherwise, that event remains buffered for subsequent use | |
691 as input. Thus, typing @var{char} will simply remove the string from | |
692 the display, while typing (say) @kbd{C-f} will remove the string from | |
693 the display and later (presumably) move point forward. The argument | |
694 @var{char} is a space by default. | |
695 | |
696 The return value of @code{momentary-string-display} is not meaningful. | |
697 | |

6598 | 793 @table @code |
794 @item priority | |
795 @kindex priority @r{(overlay property)} | |
796 This property's value (which should be a nonnegative number) determines | |
797 the priority of the overlay. The priority matters when two or more | |
798 overlays cover the same character and both specify a face for display; | |
799 the one whose @code{priority} value is larger takes priority over the | |
800 other, and its face attributes override the face attributes of the lower | |
801 priority overlay. | |
802 | |
803 Currently, all overlays take priority over text properties. Please | |
804 avoid using negative priority values, as we have not yet decided just | |
805 what they should mean. | |

6598 | 866 @item modification-hooks |
867 @kindex modification-hooks @r{(overlay property)} | |
868 This property's value is a list of functions to be called if any | |
869 character within the overlay is changed or if text is inserted strictly | |
12067 | 870 within the overlay. |
871 | |
872 The hook functions are called both before and after each change. | |
873 If the functions save the information they receive, and compare notes | |
874 between calls, they can determine exactly what change has been made | |
875 in the buffer text. | |
876 | |
877 When called before a change, each function receives four arguments: the | |
878 overlay, @code{nil}, and the beginning and end of the text range to be | |

879 modified. |
6598 | 880 |
12067 | 881 When called after a change, each function receives five arguments: the |
882 overlay, @code{t}, the beginning and end of the text range just | |
883 modified, and the length of the pre-change text replaced by that range. | |
884 (For an insertion, the pre-change length is zero; for a deletion, that | |
885 length is the number of characters deleted, and the post-change | |
12098 | 886 beginning and end are equal.) |

2005 Here are additional functions for creating and working with faces. |

2007 @defun make-face name | |
2008 This function defines a new face named @var{name}, initially with all | |
2009 attributes @code{nil}. It does nothing if there is already a face named | |
2010 @var{name}. | |
2011 @end defun | |

2015 @end defun | |
2016 | |
2017 @defun copy-face old-face new-name &optional frame new-frame | |
2018 This function defines the face @var{new-name} as a copy of the existing | |
2019 face named @var{old-face}. It creates the face @var{new-name} if that | |
2020 doesn't already exist. | |
2021 | |
2022 If the optional argument @var{frame} is given, this function applies | |
2023 only to that frame. Otherwise it applies to each frame individually, | |
2024 copying attributes from @var{old-face} in each frame to @var{new-face} | |
2025 in the same frame. | |
2026 | |
2027 If the optional argument @var{new-frame} is given, then @code{copy-face} | |
2028 copies the attributes of @var{old-face} in @var{frame} to @var{new-name} | |

2049 default face if each attribute is either the same as that of the default | |

2600 @item laplace | |
2601 @itemx emboss | |
2602 Specifies the Laplace edge detection algorithm, which blurs out small | |
2603 differences in color while highlighting larger differences. People | |
2604 sometimes consider this useful for displaying the image for a | |
2605 ``disabled'' button. | |
2606 | |
2607 @item (edge-detection :matrix @var{matrix} :color-adjust @var{adjust}) | |
2608 Specifies a general edge-detection algorithm. @var{matrix} must be | |
2609 either a nine-element list or a nine-element vector of numbers. A pixel | |
2610 at position @math{x/y} in the transformed image is computed from | |
2611 original pixels around that position. @var{matrix} specifies, for each | |
2612 pixel in the neighborhood of @math{x/y}, a factor with which that pixel | |
2613 will influence the transformed pixel; element @math{0} specifies the | |
2614 factor for the pixel at @math{x-1/y-1}, element @math{1} the factor for | |
2615 the pixel at @math{x/y-1} etc., as shown below: | |
2616 @iftex | |
2617 @tex | |
2618 $$\pmatrix{x-1/y-1 & x/y-1 & x+1/y-1 \cr | |
2619 x-1/y & x/y & x+1/y \cr | |
2620 x-1/y+1& x/y+1 & x+1/y+1 \cr}$$ | |

2627 x-1/y+1 x/y+1 x+1/y+1) | |
2628 @end display | |
2629 @end ifnottex | |
2630 | |
2631 The resulting pixel is computed from the color intensity of the color | |
2632 resulting from summing up the RGB values of surrounding pixels, | |
2633 multiplied by the specified factors, and dividing that sum by the sum | |
2634 of the factors' absolute values. | |

2671 | |
2672 @item :mask @var{mask} | |
2673 If @var{mask} is @code{heuristic} or @code{(heuristic @var{bg})}, build | |
2674 a clipping mask for the image, so that the background of a frame is | |
2675 visible behind the image. If @var{bg} is not specified, or if @var{bg} | |
2676 is @code{t}, determine the background color of the image by looking at | |
2677 the four corners of the image, assuming the most frequently occurring | |
2678 color from the corners is the background color of the image. Otherwise, | |
2679 @var{bg} must be a list @code{(@var{red} @var{green} @var{blue})} | |
2680 specifying the color to assume for the background of the image. | |
2681 | |
2682 If @var{mask} is nil, remove a mask from the image, if it has one. Images | |
2683 in some formats include a mask which can be removed by specifying | |
2684 @code{:mask nil}. | |

28792 | 2723 @item :data @var{data} |
2724 The value, @var{data}, specifies the contents of the image. | |
2725 There are three formats you can use for @var{data}: | |
2726 | |
2727 @itemize @bullet | |
2728 @item | |
2729 A vector of strings or bool-vectors, each specifying one line of the | |
2730 image. Do specify @code{:height} and @code{:width}. | |
2731 | |
2732 @item | |
2733 A string containing the same byte sequence as an XBM file would contain. | |
2734 You must not specify @code{:height} and @code{:width} in this case, | |
2735 because omitting them is what indicates the data has the format of an | |
2736 XBM file. The file contents specify the height and width of the image. | |
2737 | |
2738 @item | |
2739 A string or a bool-vector containing the bits of the image (plus perhaps | |
2740 some extra bits at the end that will not be used). It should contain at | |
2741 least @var{width} * @code{height} bits. In this case, you must specify | |
2742 @code{:height} and @code{:width}, both to indicate that the string | |
2743 contains just the bits rather than a whole XBM file, and to specify the | |
2744 size of the image. | |
