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. |

147 If your buffer contains @emph{very} long lines, and you use |
12067 | 148 continuation to display them, just thinking about them can make Emacs |
12098 | 149 redisplay slow. The column computation and indentation functions also |
150 become slow. Then you might find it advisable to set | |
151 @code{cache-long-line-scans} to @code{t}. | |
12067 | 152 |
153 @defvar cache-long-line-scans | |
154 If this variable is non-@code{nil}, various indentation and motion | |
12098 | 155 functions, and Emacs redisplay, cache the results of scanning the |
156 buffer, and consult the cache to avoid rescanning regions of the buffer | |
157 unless they are modified. | |
12067 | 158 |
12098 | 159 Turning on the cache slows down processing of short lines somewhat. |

168 | |
12067 | 169 The @dfn{echo area} is used for displaying messages made with the |
6598 | 170 @code{message} primitive, and for echoing keystrokes. It is not the |
171 same as the minibuffer, despite the fact that the minibuffer appears | |
172 (when active) in the same place on the screen as the echo area. The | |
173 @cite{GNU Emacs Manual} specifies the rules for resolving conflicts | |
174 between the echo area and the minibuffer for use of that screen space | |
175 (@pxref{Minibuffer,, The Minibuffer, emacs, The GNU Emacs Manual}). | |
176 Error messages appear in the echo area; see @ref{Errors}. | |
177 | |
178 You can write output in the echo area by using the Lisp printing | |
179 functions with @code{t} as the stream (@pxref{Output Functions}), or as | |

301 This variable specifies how many lines to keep in the @samp{*Messages*} | |
302 buffer. The value @code{t} means there is no limit on how many lines to | |
303 keep. The value @code{nil} disables message logging entirely. Here's | |
304 how to display a message and prevent it from being logged: | |

315 which specifies the | |
12098 | 316 number of seconds to wait before echoing. If the user types a prefix |
317 key (such as @kbd{C-x}) and then delays this many seconds before | |

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

337 @code{invisible} property works. |
12067 | 338 |
339 More generally, you can use the variable @code{buffer-invisibility-spec} | |
340 to control which values of the @code{invisible} property make text | |
341 invisible. This permits you to classify the text into different subsets | |
342 in advance, by giving them different @code{invisible} values, and | |
343 subsequently make various subsets visible or invisible by changing the | |
344 value of @code{buffer-invisibility-spec}. | |
345 | |
346 Controlling visibility with @code{buffer-invisibility-spec} is | |
25875 | 347 especially useful in a program to display the list of entries in a |
348 database. It permits the implementation of convenient filtering | |
349 commands to view just a part of the entries in the database. Setting | |
350 this variable is very fast, much faster than scanning all the text in | |
351 the buffer looking for properties to change. | |
12067 | 352 |
353 @defvar buffer-invisibility-spec | |
354 This variable specifies which kinds of @code{invisible} properties | |
355 actually make a character invisible. | |
356 | |
357 @table @asis | |
358 @item @code{t} | |
359 A character is invisible if its @code{invisible} property is | |
360 non-@code{nil}. This is the default. | |

447 replaced this feature. |
12067 | 448 |
449 In the second variant, the choice of lines to hide is made | |
12098 | 450 automatically based on indentation. This variant is designed to be a |
12067 | 451 user-level feature. |
6598 | 452 |
453 The way you control explicit selective display is by replacing a | |
9009 | 454 newline (control-j) with a carriage return (control-m). The text that |
6598 | 455 was formerly a line following that newline is now invisible. Strictly |
456 speaking, it is temporarily no longer a line at all, since only newlines | |
457 can separate lines; it is now part of the previous line. | |
458 | |
459 Selective display does not directly affect editing commands. For | |
460 example, @kbd{C-f} (@code{forward-char}) moves point unhesitatingly into | |
461 invisible text. However, the replacement of newline characters with | |
462 carriage return characters affects some editing commands. For example, | |
463 @code{next-line} skips invisible lines, since it searches only for | |
464 newlines. Modes that use selective display can also define commands | |
465 that take account of the newlines, or that make parts of the text | |
466 visible or invisible. | |
467 | |
468 When you write a selectively displayed buffer into a file, all the | |
469 control-m's are output as newlines. This means that when you next read | |
470 in the file, it looks OK, with nothing invisible. The selective display | |
471 effect is seen only within Emacs. | |
472 | |
473 @defvar selective-display | |
474 This buffer-local variable enables selective display. This means that | |
475 lines, or portions of lines, may be made invisible. | |
476 | |
477 @itemize @bullet | |
478 @item | |
25875 | 479 If the value of @code{selective-display} is @code{t}, then the character |
480 control-m marks the start of invisible text; the control-m, and the rest | |
481 of the line following it, are not displayed. This is explicit selective | |
482 display. | |
6598 | 483 |
484 @item | |
485 If the value of @code{selective-display} is a positive integer, then | |
486 lines that start with more than that many columns of indentation are not | |
487 displayed. | |
488 @end itemize | |
489 | |
490 When some portion of a buffer is invisible, the vertical movement | |
491 commands operate as if that portion did not exist, allowing a single | |
492 @code{next-line} command to skip any number of invisible lines. | |
493 However, character movement commands (such as @code{forward-char}) do | |
494 not skip the invisible portion, and it is possible (if tricky) to insert | |
495 or delete text in an invisible portion. | |
496 | |
497 In the examples below, we show the @emph{display appearance} of the | |
498 buffer @code{foo}, which changes with the value of | |
499 @code{selective-display}. The @emph{contents} of the buffer do not | |
500 change. | |
501 | |
502 @example | |
503 @group | |
504 (setq selective-display nil) | |

528 @end example | |
529 @end defvar | |
530 | |
531 @defvar selective-display-ellipses | |
532 If this buffer-local variable is non-@code{nil}, then Emacs displays | |
533 @samp{@dots{}} at the end of a line that is followed by invisible text. | |
534 This example is a continuation of the previous one. | |
535 | |
536 @example | |
537 @group | |
538 (setq selective-display-ellipses t) | |
539 @result{} t | |
540 | |

557 | |
558 The @dfn{overlay arrow} is useful for directing the user's attention | |
559 to a particular line in a buffer. For example, in the modes used for | |
560 interface to debuggers, the overlay arrow indicates the line of code | |
561 about to be executed. | |
562 | |
563 @defvar overlay-arrow-string | |
9009 | 564 This variable holds the string to display to call attention to a |
565 particular line, or @code{nil} if the arrow feature is not in use. | |
29471 | 566 On a graphical display the contents of the string are ignored; instead a |
567 glyph is displayed in the fringe area to the left of the display area. | |
6598 | 568 @end defvar |
569 | |
570 @defvar overlay-arrow-position | |
9009 | 571 This variable holds a marker that indicates where to display the overlay |
29471 | 572 arrow. It should point at the beginning of a line. On a non-graphical |
573 display the arrow text | |
9009 | 574 appears at the beginning of that line, overlaying any text that would |
575 otherwise appear. Since the arrow is usually short, and the line | |
576 usually begins with indentation, normally nothing significant is | |
577 overwritten. | |
6598 | 578 |
9009 | 579 The overlay string is displayed only in the buffer that this marker |
6598 | 580 points into. Thus, only one buffer can have an overlay arrow at any |
581 given time. | |
582 @c !!! overlay-arrow-position: but the overlay string may remain in the display | |
583 @c of some other buffer until an update is required. This should be fixed | |
584 @c now. Is it? | |

677 @defun momentary-string-display string position &optional char message | |
678 This function momentarily displays @var{string} in the current buffer at | |
679 @var{position}. It has no effect on the undo list or on the buffer's | |
680 modification status. | |
681 | |
682 The momentary display remains until the next input event. If the next | |
683 input event is @var{char}, @code{momentary-string-display} ignores it | |
684 and returns. Otherwise, that event remains buffered for subsequent use | |
685 as input. Thus, typing @var{char} will simply remove the string from | |
686 the display, while typing (say) @kbd{C-f} will remove the string from | |
687 the display and later (presumably) move point forward. The argument | |
688 @var{char} is a space by default. | |
689 | |
690 The return value of @code{momentary-string-display} is not meaningful. | |

788 @item priority | |
789 @kindex priority @r{(overlay property)} | |
790 This property's value (which should be a nonnegative number) determines | |
791 the priority of the overlay. The priority matters when two or more | |
792 overlays cover the same character and both specify a face for display; | |
793 the one whose @code{priority} value is larger takes priority over the | |
794 other, and its face attributes override the face attributes of the lower | |
795 priority overlay. | |
796 | |
797 Currently, all overlays take priority over text properties. Please | |

6598 | 860 @item modification-hooks |
861 @kindex modification-hooks @r{(overlay property)} | |
862 This property's value is a list of functions to be called if any | |
863 character within the overlay is changed or if text is inserted strictly | |
12067 | 864 within the overlay. |
865 | |
866 The hook functions are called both before and after each change. | |
867 If the functions save the information they receive, and compare notes | |
868 between calls, they can determine exactly what change has been made | |
869 in the buffer text. | |
870 | |
871 When called before a change, each function receives four arguments: the | |
872 overlay, @code{nil}, and the beginning and end of the text range to be | |

873 modified. |
6598 | 874 |
12067 | 875 When called after a change, each function receives five arguments: the |
876 overlay, @code{t}, the beginning and end of the text range just | |
877 modified, and the length of the pre-change text replaced by that range. | |
878 (For an insertion, the pre-change length is zero; for a deletion, that | |
879 length is the number of characters deleted, and the post-change | |
12098 | 880 beginning and end are equal.) |

12067 | 896 The @code{invisible} property can make the text in the overlay |

25875 | 1478 The background stipple, a bitmap. |
1479 | |
1480 The value can be a string; that should be the name of a file containing | |
1481 external-format X bitmap data. The file is found in the directories | |
1482 listed in the variable @code{x-bitmap-file-path}. | |
1483 | |
1484 Alternatively, the value can specify the bitmap directly, with a list of | |
1485 the form @code{(@var{width} @var{height} @var{data})}. Here, | |
1486 @var{width} and @var{height} specify the size in pixels, and @var{data} | |
1487 is a string containing the raw bits of the bitmap, row by row. Each row | |
1488 occupies @math{(@var{width} + 7) / 8} consecutie bytes in the string | |
1489 (which should be a unibyte string for best results). | |

1947 This function defines the face @var{new-name} as a copy of the existing | |
1948 face named @var{old-face}. It creates the face @var{new-name} if that | |
1949 doesn't already exist. | |
1950 | |
1951 If the optional argument @var{frame} is given, this function applies | |
1952 only to that frame. Otherwise it applies to each frame individually, | |
1953 copying attributes from @var{old-face} in each frame to @var{new-face} | |
1954 in the same frame. | |
1955 | |
1956 If the optional argument @var{new-frame} is given, then @code{copy-face} | |
1957 copies the attributes of @var{old-face} in @var{frame} to @var{new-name} | |

29151 | 2494 The @code{:ascent} property specifies the amount of the image's |
2495 height to use for its ascent---that is, the part above the baseline. | |
2496 The value, @var{ascent}, must be a number in the range 0 to 100, or | |
2497 the symbol @code{center}. | |

2522 @item laplace | |
2523 @itemx emboss | |
2524 Specifies the Laplace edge detection algorithm, which blurs out small | |
2525 differences in color while highlighting larger differences. People | |
2526 sometimes consider this useful for displaying the image for a | |
2527 ``disabled'' button. | |
2528 | |
2529 @item (edge-detection :matrix @var{matrix} :color-adjust @var{adjust}) | |
2530 Specifies a general edge-detection algorithm. @var{matrix} must be | |
2531 either a nine-element list or a nine-element vector of numbers. A pixel | |
2532 at position @math{x/y} in the transformed image is computed from | |
2533 original pixels around that position. @var{matrix} specifies, for each | |
2534 pixel in the neighborhood of @math{x/y}, a factor with which that pixel | |
2535 will influence the transformed pixel; element @math{0} specifies the | |
2536 factor for the pixel at @math{x-1/y-1}, element @math{1} the factor for | |
2537 the pixel at @math{x/y-1} etc., as shown below: | |
2538 @iftex | |
2539 @tex | |
2540 $$\pmatrix{x-1/y-1 & x/y-1 & x+1/y-1 \cr | |
2541 x-1/y & x/y & x+1/y \cr | |
2542 x-1/y+1& x/y+1 & x+1/y+1 \cr}$$ | |

2550 @end display | |
2551 @end ifnottex | |
2552 | |
2553 The resulting pixel is computed from the color intensity of the color | |
2554 resulting from summing up the RGB values of surrounding pixels, | |
2555 multiplied by the specified factors, and dividing that sum by the sum | |
2556 of the factors' absolute values. | |

2594 @item :mask @var{mask} | |
2595 If @var{mask} is @code{heuristic} or @code{(heuristic @var{bg})}, build | |
2596 a clipping mask for the image, so that the background of a frame is | |
2597 visible behind the image. If @var{bg} is not specified, or if @var{bg} | |
2598 is @code{t}, determine the background color of the image by looking at | |
2599 the four corners of the image, assuming the most frequently occurring | |
2600 color from the corners is the background color of the image. Otherwise, | |
2601 @var{bg} must be a list @code{(@var{red} @var{green} @var{blue})} | |
2602 specifying the color to assume for the background of the image. | |
2603 | |
2604 If @var{mask} is nil, remove a mask from the image, if it has one. Images | |
2605 in some formats include a mask which can be removed by specifying | |
2606 @code{:mask nil}. | |

2646 The value, @var{data}, specifies the contents of the image. | |

2648 | |
2649 @itemize @bullet | |
2650 @item | |
2651 A vector of strings or bool-vectors, each specifying one line of the | |
2652 image. Do specify @code{:height} and @code{:width}. | |
2653 | |
2654 @item | |
2655 A string containing the same byte sequence as an XBM file would contain. | |
2656 You must not specify @code{:height} and @code{:width} in this case, | |
2657 because omitting them is what indicates the data has the format of an | |
2658 XBM file. The file contents specify the height and width of the image. | |
2659 | |
2660 @item | |
2661 A string or a bool-vector containing the bits of the image (plus perhaps | |
2662 some extra bits at the end that will not be used). It should contain at | |
2663 least @var{width} * @code{height} bits. In this case, you must specify | |
2664 @code{:height} and @code{:width}, both to indicate that the string | |
2665 contains just the bits rather than a whole XBM file, and to specify the | |
2666 size of the image. | |
