addHighlight

public Object addHighlight(int p0,
                           int p1,
                           Highlighter.HighlightPainter p)
                    throws BadLocationException
Adds a highlight to the view. Returns a tag that can be used to refer to the highlight.

Parameters:
p0 - the start offset of the range to highlight >= 0
p1 - the end offset of the range to highlight >= p0
p - the painter to use to actually render the highlight
Returns:
an object that can be used as a tag to refer to the highlight
Throws:

public void changeHighlight(Object tag,
                            int p0,
                            int p1)
                     throws BadLocationException
Changes a highlight.

Parameters:
tag - the highlight tag
p0 - the beginning of the range >= 0
p1 - the end of the range >= p0
Throws:
BadLocationException - if the specified location is invalid

getHighlights

public Highlighter.Highlight[] getHighlights()

paintLayeredHighlights

public void paintLayeredHighlights(Graphics g,
                                   int p0,
                                   int p1,
                                   Shape viewBounds,
                                   JTextComponent editor,
                                   View view)
When leaf Views (such as LabelView) are rendering they should call into this method. If a highlight is in the given region it will be drawn immediately.

Specified by:
paintLayeredHighlights in class LayeredHighlighter
Parameters:
g - Graphics used to draw
p0 - starting offset of view
p1 - ending offset of view
viewBounds - Bounds of View
editor - JTextComponent
view - View instance being rendered

setDrawsLayeredHighlights

public void setDrawsLayeredHighlights(boolean newValue)
If true, highlights are drawn as the Views draw the text. That is the Views will call into paintLayeredHighlight which will result in a rectangle being drawn before the text is drawn (if the offsets are in a highlighted region that is). For this to work the painter supplied must be an instance of LayeredHighlightPainter.


getDrawsLayeredHighlights

public boolean getDrawsLayeredHighlights()
