71 call these functions when input is available, they do nothing | |
72 immediately, but a full redisplay does happen eventually---after all the | |

76 Some terminal emulators record separate contents for display-oriented | |
77 programs such as Emacs and for ordinary sequential display. If you are | |

164 If your buffer contains @emph{very} long lines, and you use |
12067 | 165 continuation to display them, just thinking about them can make Emacs |
12098 | 166 redisplay slow. The column computation and indentation functions also |
167 become slow. Then you might find it advisable to set | |
168 @code{cache-long-line-scans} to @code{t}. | |

170 @defvar cache-long-line-scans | |
171 If this variable is non-@code{nil}, various indentation and motion | |
12098 | 172 functions, and Emacs redisplay, cache the results of scanning the |
173 buffer, and consult the cache to avoid rescanning regions of the buffer | |
174 unless they are modified. | |
12067 | 175 |
12098 | 176 Turning on the cache slows down processing of short lines somewhat. |

718 More generally, you can use the variable @code{buffer-invisibility-spec} | |
719 to control which values of the @code{invisible} property make text | |
720 invisible. This permits you to classify the text into different subsets | |
721 in advance, by giving them different @code{invisible} values, and | |
722 subsequently make various subsets visible or invisible by changing the | |
723 value of @code{buffer-invisibility-spec}. | |
724 | |
725 Controlling visibility with @code{buffer-invisibility-spec} is | |
25875 | 726 especially useful in a program to display the list of entries in a |
727 database. It permits the implementation of convenient filtering | |
728 commands to view just a part of the entries in the database. Setting | |

969 The string @var{buffer-name} specifies the temporary buffer, which | |
970 need not already exist. The argument must be a string, not a buffer. | |
971 The buffer is erased initially (with no questions asked), and it is | |
972 marked as unmodified after @code{with-output-to-temp-buffer} exits. | |
973 | |
974 @code{with-output-to-temp-buffer} binds @code{standard-output} to the | |
975 temporary buffer, then it evaluates the forms in @var{forms}. Output | |
976 using the Lisp output functions within @var{forms} goes by default to | |
977 that buffer (but screen display and messages in the echo area, although | |
978 they are ``output'' in the general sense of the word, are not affected). | |

1029 This normal hook is run by @code{with-output-to-temp-buffer} after |
42082 | 1030 displaying the temporary buffer. When the hook runs, the temporary buffer |
1031 is current, and the window it was displayed in is selected. This hook | |
1032 is normally set up with a function to make the buffer read only, and | |
1033 find function names and variable names in it, provided the major mode | |
1034 is Help mode. | |

1038 This function momentarily displays @var{string} in the current buffer at | |
1039 @var{position}. It has no effect on the undo list or on the buffer's | |
1040 modification status. | |
1041 | |
1042 The momentary display remains until the next input event. If the next | |
1043 input event is @var{char}, @code{momentary-string-display} ignores it | |
1044 and returns. Otherwise, that event remains buffered for subsequent use | |
1045 as input. Thus, typing @var{char} will simply remove the string from | |
1046 the display, while typing (say) @kbd{C-f} will remove the string from | |
1047 the display and later (presumably) move point forward. The argument | |
1048 @var{char} is a space by default. | |
1049 | |
1050 The return value of @code{momentary-string-display} is not meaningful. | |

1096 | |
1097 You can use @dfn{overlays} to alter the appearance of a buffer's text on | |
12098 | 1098 the screen, for the sake of presentation features. An overlay is an |
1099 object that belongs to a particular buffer, and has a specified | |
1100 beginning and end. It also has properties that you can examine and set; | |
1101 these affect the display of the text within the overlay. | |
6598 | 1102 |
54023 | 1103 An overlays uses markers to record its beginning and end; thus, |
1104 editing the text of the buffer adjusts the beginning and end of each | |
1105 overlay so that it stays with the text. When you create the overlay, | |
1106 you can specify whether text inserted at the beginning should be | |
1107 inside the overlay or outside, and likewise for the end of the overlay. | |

1370 This property's value is a list of functions to be called if any | |
1371 character within the overlay is changed or if text is inserted strictly | |
12067 | 1372 within the overlay. |

1374 The hook functions are called both before and after each change. | |
1375 If the functions save the information they receive, and compare notes | |

1377 in the buffer text. | |

1385 modified, and the length of the pre-change text replaced by that range. | |
1386 (For an insertion, the pre-change length is zero; for a deletion, that | |
1387 length is the number of characters deleted, and the post-change | |
12098 | 1388 beginning and end are equal.) |

29151 | 3664 The @code{:ascent} property specifies the amount of the image's |
3665 height to use for its ascent---that is, the part above the baseline. | |
3666 The value, @var{ascent}, must be a number in the range 0 to 100, or | |
3667 the symbol @code{center}. | |
3668 | |
3669 If @var{ascent} is a number, that percentage of the image's height is | |
3670 used for its ascent. | |
3671 | |
3672 If @var{ascent} is @code{center}, the image is vertically centered | |
3673 around a centerline which would be the vertical centerline of text drawn | |
3674 at the position of the image, in the manner specified by the text | |
3675 properties and overlays that apply to the image. | |
3676 | |
3677 If this property is omitted, it defaults to 50. | |

3693 @itemx emboss | |
3694 Specifies the Laplace edge detection algorithm, which blurs out small | |
3695 differences in color while highlighting larger differences. People | |
3696 sometimes consider this useful for displaying the image for a | |
3697 ``disabled'' button. | |
3698 | |
3699 @item (edge-detection :matrix @var{matrix} :color-adjust @var{adjust}) | |
3700 Specifies a general edge-detection algorithm. @var{matrix} must be | |
3701 either a nine-element list or a nine-element vector of numbers. A pixel | |
3702 at position @math{x/y} in the transformed image is computed from | |
3703 original pixels around that position. @var{matrix} specifies, for each | |
3704 pixel in the neighborhood of @math{x/y}, a factor with which that pixel | |
3705 will influence the transformed pixel; element @math{0} specifies the | |
3706 factor for the pixel at @math{x-1/y-1}, element @math{1} the factor for | |
3707 the pixel at @math{x/y-1} etc., as shown below: | |
3708 @iftex | |
3709 @tex | |
3710 $$\pmatrix{x-1/y-1 & x/y-1 & x+1/y-1 \cr | |

3720 @end display | |
3721 @end ifnottex | |
3722 | |
3723 The resulting pixel is computed from the color intensity of the color | |
3724 resulting from summing up the RGB values of surrounding pixels, | |
3725 multiplied by the specified factors, and dividing that sum by the sum | |
3726 of the factors' absolute values. | |

3767 visible behind the image. If @var{bg} is not specified, or if @var{bg} | |
3768 is @code{t}, determine the background color of the image by looking at | |
3769 the four corners of the image, assuming the most frequently occurring | |
3770 color from the corners is the background color of the image. Otherwise, | |
3771 @var{bg} must be a list @code{(@var{red} @var{green} @var{blue})} | |

3851 @table @code |
28792 | 3852 @item :data @var{data} |
3853 The value, @var{data}, specifies the contents of the image. | |
3854 There are three formats you can use for @var{data}: | |
3855 | |
3856 @itemize @bullet | |
3857 @item | |
3858 A vector of strings or bool-vectors, each specifying one line of the | |
3859 image. Do specify @code{:height} and @code{:width}. | |
3860 | |
3861 @item | |
3862 A string containing the same byte sequence as an XBM file would contain. | |
3863 You must not specify @code{:height} and @code{:width} in this case, | |
3864 because omitting them is what indicates the data has the format of an | |
3865 XBM file. The file contents specify the height and width of the image. | |
3866 | |
3867 @item | |
3868 A string or a bool-vector containing the bits of the image (plus perhaps | |
3869 some extra bits at the end that will not be used). It should contain at | |
3870 least @var{width} * @code{height} bits. In this case, you must specify | |
3871 @code{:height} and @code{:width}, both to indicate that the string | |
3872 contains just the bits rather than a whole XBM file, and to specify the | |
3873 size of the image. | |

4562 @deffn Command blink-matching-open |
6598 | 4563 This function is the default value of @code{blink-paren-function}. It |
4564 assumes that point follows a character with close parenthesis syntax and | |
4565 moves the cursor momentarily to the matching opening character. If that | |
4566 character is not already on the screen, it displays the character's | |
4567 context in the echo area. To avoid long delays, this function does not | |
4568 search farther than @code{blink-matching-paren-distance} characters. | |

4611 The usual display conventions define how to display each character | |
4612 code. You can override these conventions by setting up a display table | |
4613 (@pxref{Display Tables}). Here are the usual display conventions: | |
4614 | |
4615 @itemize @bullet | |
4616 @item | |
4617 Character codes 32 through 126 map to glyph codes 32 through 126. | |
4618 Normally this means they display as themselves. | |
4619 | |
4620 @item | |
4621 Character code 9 is a horizontal tab. It displays as whitespace | |
4622 up to a position determined by @code{tab-width}. | |
4623 | |
4624 @item | |
4625 Character code 10 is a newline. | |
4626 | |
4627 @item | |
4628 All other codes in the range 0 through 31, and code 127, display in one | |
9009 | 4629 of two ways according to the value of @code{ctl-arrow}. If it is |
6598 | 4630 non-@code{nil}, these codes map to sequences of two glyphs, where the |

4631 first glyph is the @acronym{ASCII} code for @samp{^}. (A display table can |
6598 | 4632 specify a glyph to use instead of @samp{^}.) Otherwise, these codes map |
