12098 | 67 Processing user input takes absolute priority over redisplay. If you |
68 call these functions when input is available, they do nothing | |
69 immediately, but a full redisplay does happen eventually---after all the | |
70 input has been processed. | |
71 | |
6598 | 72 Normally, suspending and resuming Emacs also refreshes the screen. |
73 Some terminal emulators record separate contents for display-oriented | |
74 programs such as Emacs and for ordinary sequential display. If you are | |
75 using such a terminal, you might want to inhibit the redisplay on | |
9009 | 76 resumption. |

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

171 @defvar cache-long-line-scans | |
172 If this variable is non-@code{nil}, various indentation and motion | |
12098 | 173 functions, and Emacs redisplay, cache the results of scanning the |
174 buffer, and consult the cache to avoid rescanning regions of the buffer | |
175 unless they are modified. | |
12067 | 176 |
12098 | 177 Turning on the cache slows down processing of short lines somewhat. |

12067 | 187 The @dfn{echo area} is used for displaying messages made with the |

189 same as the minibuffer, despite the fact that the minibuffer appears | |
190 (when active) in the same place on the screen as the echo area. The | |
191 @cite{GNU Emacs Manual} specifies the rules for resolving conflicts | |
192 between the echo area and the minibuffer for use of that screen space | |
193 (@pxref{Minibuffer,, The Minibuffer, emacs, The GNU Emacs Manual}). | |

12067 | 547 |
548 More generally, you can use the variable @code{buffer-invisibility-spec} | |
549 to control which values of the @code{invisible} property make text | |
550 invisible. This permits you to classify the text into different subsets | |
551 in advance, by giving them different @code{invisible} values, and | |
552 subsequently make various subsets visible or invisible by changing the | |
553 value of @code{buffer-invisibility-spec}. | |
554 | |
555 Controlling visibility with @code{buffer-invisibility-spec} is | |
25875 | 556 especially useful in a program to display the list of entries in a |
557 database. It permits the implementation of convenient filtering | |
558 commands to view just a part of the entries in the database. Setting | |
559 this variable is very fast, much faster than scanning all the text in | |

670 replaced this feature. |
12067 | 671 |
672 In the second variant, the choice of lines to hide is made | |
12098 | 673 automatically based on indentation. This variant is designed to be a |
12067 | 674 user-level feature. |
6598 | 675 |
676 The way you control explicit selective display is by replacing a | |
9009 | 677 newline (control-j) with a carriage return (control-m). The text that |
6598 | 678 was formerly a line following that newline is now invisible. Strictly |
679 speaking, it is temporarily no longer a line at all, since only newlines | |
680 can separate lines; it is now part of the previous line. | |
681 | |
682 Selective display does not directly affect editing commands. For | |
683 example, @kbd{C-f} (@code{forward-char}) moves point unhesitatingly into | |
684 invisible text. However, the replacement of newline characters with | |
685 carriage return characters affects some editing commands. For example, | |
686 @code{next-line} skips invisible lines, since it searches only for | |
687 newlines. Modes that use selective display can also define commands | |
688 that take account of the newlines, or that make parts of the text | |
689 visible or invisible. | |
690 | |
691 When you write a selectively displayed buffer into a file, all the | |
692 control-m's are output as newlines. This means that when you next read | |
693 in the file, it looks OK, with nothing invisible. The selective display | |
694 effect is seen only within Emacs. | |
695 | |
696 @defvar selective-display | |
697 This buffer-local variable enables selective display. This means that | |

698 lines, or portions of lines, may be made invisible. |
6598 | 699 |
700 @itemize @bullet | |
701 @item | |
25875 | 702 If the value of @code{selective-display} is @code{t}, then the character |
703 control-m marks the start of invisible text; the control-m, and the rest | |
704 of the line following it, are not displayed. This is explicit selective | |
705 display. | |
6598 | 706 |
707 @item | |
708 If the value of @code{selective-display} is a positive integer, then | |
709 lines that start with more than that many columns of indentation are not | |
710 displayed. | |
711 @end itemize | |
712 | |
713 When some portion of a buffer is invisible, the vertical movement | |
714 commands operate as if that portion did not exist, allowing a single | |
715 @code{next-line} command to skip any number of invisible lines. | |
716 However, character movement commands (such as @code{forward-char}) do | |
717 not skip the invisible portion, and it is possible (if tricky) to insert | |
718 or delete text in an invisible portion. | |
719 | |
720 In the examples below, we show the @emph{display appearance} of the | |
721 buffer @code{foo}, which changes with the value of | |
722 @code{selective-display}. The @emph{contents} of the buffer do not | |
723 change. | |
724 | |
725 @example | |

753 | |
754 @defvar selective-display-ellipses | |
755 If this buffer-local variable is non-@code{nil}, then Emacs displays | |
756 @samp{@dots{}} at the end of a line that is followed by invisible text. | |
757 This example is a continuation of the previous one. | |
758 | |
759 @example | |
760 @group | |
761 (setq selective-display-ellipses t) | |

780 | |
781 The @dfn{overlay arrow} is useful for directing the user's attention | |
782 to a particular line in a buffer. For example, in the modes used for | |
783 interface to debuggers, the overlay arrow indicates the line of code | |
784 about to be executed. | |
785 | |
786 @defvar overlay-arrow-string | |
9009 | 787 This variable holds the string to display to call attention to a |
788 particular line, or @code{nil} if the arrow feature is not in use. | |
29471 | 789 On a graphical display the contents of the string are ignored; instead a |
790 glyph is displayed in the fringe area to the left of the display area. | |
6598 | 791 @end defvar |
792 | |
793 @defvar overlay-arrow-position | |
9009 | 794 This variable holds a marker that indicates where to display the overlay |
29471 | 795 arrow. It should point at the beginning of a line. On a non-graphical |
796 display the arrow text | |
9009 | 797 appears at the beginning of that line, overlaying any text that would |
798 otherwise appear. Since the arrow is usually short, and the line | |
799 usually begins with indentation, normally nothing significant is | |
800 overwritten. | |
6598 | 801 |
9009 | 802 The overlay string is displayed only in the buffer that this marker |
6598 | 803 points into. Thus, only one buffer can have an overlay arrow at any |
804 given time. | |
805 @c !!! overlay-arrow-position: but the overlay string may remain in the display | |
806 @c of some other buffer until an update is required. This should be fixed | |
807 @c now. Is it? | |

834 The string @var{buffer-name} specifies the temporary buffer, which | |
835 need not already exist. The argument must be a string, not a buffer. | |
836 The buffer is erased initially (with no questions asked), and it is | |
837 marked as unmodified after @code{with-output-to-temp-buffer} exits. | |
838 | |
839 @code{with-output-to-temp-buffer} binds @code{standard-output} to the | |
840 temporary buffer, then it evaluates the forms in @var{forms}. Output | |
841 using the Lisp output functions within @var{forms} goes by default to | |
842 that buffer (but screen display and messages in the echo area, although | |
843 they are ``output'' in the general sense of the word, are not affected). | |

894 This normal hook is run by @code{with-output-to-temp-buffer} after |
42082 | 895 displaying the temporary buffer. When the hook runs, the temporary buffer |
896 is current, and the window it was displayed in is selected. This hook | |
897 is normally set up with a function to make the buffer read only, and | |
898 find function names and variable names in it, provided the major mode | |
899 is Help mode. | |

902 @defun momentary-string-display string position &optional char message | |
903 This function momentarily displays @var{string} in the current buffer at | |
904 @var{position}. It has no effect on the undo list or on the buffer's | |
905 modification status. | |
906 | |
907 The momentary display remains until the next input event. If the next | |
908 input event is @var{char}, @code{momentary-string-display} ignores it | |
909 and returns. Otherwise, that event remains buffered for subsequent use | |
910 as input. Thus, typing @var{char} will simply remove the string from | |
911 the display, while typing (say) @kbd{C-f} will remove the string from | |
912 the display and later (presumably) move point forward. The argument | |
913 @var{char} is a space by default. | |
914 | |
915 The return value of @code{momentary-string-display} is not meaningful. | |

1109 (For an insertion, the pre-change length is zero; for a deletion, that | |

2244 This function defines the face @var{new-name} as a copy of the existing | |
2245 face named @var{old-face}. It creates the face @var{new-name} if that | |
2246 doesn't already exist. | |
2247 | |
2248 If the optional argument @var{frame} is given, this function applies | |
2249 only to that frame. Otherwise it applies to each frame individually, | |
2250 copying attributes from @var{old-face} in each frame to @var{new-face} | |
2251 in the same frame. | |
2252 | |
2253 If the optional argument @var{new-frame} is given, then @code{copy-face} | |
2254 copies the attributes of @var{old-face} in @var{frame} to @var{new-name} | |

2962 @item laplace | |
2963 @itemx emboss | |
2964 Specifies the Laplace edge detection algorithm, which blurs out small | |
2965 differences in color while highlighting larger differences. People | |
2966 sometimes consider this useful for displaying the image for a | |
2967 ``disabled'' button. | |
2968 | |
2969 @item (edge-detection :matrix @var{matrix} :color-adjust @var{adjust}) | |
2970 Specifies a general edge-detection algorithm. @var{matrix} must be | |
2971 either a nine-element list or a nine-element vector of numbers. A pixel | |
2972 at position @math{x/y} in the transformed image is computed from | |
2973 original pixels around that position. @var{matrix} specifies, for each | |
2974 pixel in the neighborhood of @math{x/y}, a factor with which that pixel | |
2975 will influence the transformed pixel; element @math{0} specifies the | |
2976 factor for the pixel at @math{x-1/y-1}, element @math{1} the factor for | |
2977 the pixel at @math{x/y-1} etc., as shown below: | |
2978 @iftex | |
2979 @tex | |
2980 $$\pmatrix{x-1/y-1 & x/y-1 & x+1/y-1 \cr | |
2981 x-1/y & x/y & x+1/y \cr | |

2990 @end display | |
2991 @end ifnottex | |
2992 | |
2993 The resulting pixel is computed from the color intensity of the color | |
2994 resulting from summing up the RGB values of surrounding pixels, | |
2995 multiplied by the specified factors, and dividing that sum by the sum | |
2996 of the factors' absolute values. | |

3036 a clipping mask for the image, so that the background of a frame is | |
3037 visible behind the image. If @var{bg} is not specified, or if @var{bg} | |
3038 is @code{t}, determine the background color of the image by looking at | |
3039 the four corners of the image, assuming the most frequently occurring | |
3040 color from the corners is the background color of the image. Otherwise, | |
3041 @var{bg} must be a list @code{(@var{red} @var{green} @var{blue})} | |

3084 @table @code |
28792 | 3085 @item :data @var{data} |
3086 The value, @var{data}, specifies the contents of the image. | |
3087 There are three formats you can use for @var{data}: | |
3088 | |
3089 @itemize @bullet | |
3090 @item | |
3091 A vector of strings or bool-vectors, each specifying one line of the | |
3092 image. Do specify @code{:height} and @code{:width}. | |
3093 | |
3094 @item | |
3095 A string containing the same byte sequence as an XBM file would contain. | |
3096 You must not specify @code{:height} and @code{:width} in this case, | |
3097 because omitting them is what indicates the data has the format of an | |
3098 XBM file. The file contents specify the height and width of the image. | |
3099 | |
3100 @item | |
3101 A string or a bool-vector containing the bits of the image (plus perhaps | |
3102 some extra bits at the end that will not be used). It should contain at | |
3103 least @var{width} * @code{height} bits. In this case, you must specify | |
3104 @code{:height} and @code{:width}, both to indicate that the string | |
3105 contains just the bits rather than a whole XBM file, and to specify the | |
3106 size of the image. | |

3437 @deffn Command blink-matching-open |
6598 | 3438 This function is the default value of @code{blink-paren-function}. It |
3439 assumes that point follows a character with close parenthesis syntax and | |
3440 moves the cursor momentarily to the matching opening character. If that | |
3441 character is not already on the screen, it displays the character's | |
3442 context in the echo area. To avoid long delays, this function does not | |
3443 search farther than @code{blink-matching-paren-distance} characters. | |

3840 Emacs works with several window systems, most notably the X Window | |
3841 System. Both Emacs and X use the term ``window'', but use it | |
3842 differently. An Emacs frame is a single window as far as X is | |
3843 concerned; the individual Emacs windows are not known to X at all. | |
