public interface IVerticalRuler
- extends
IVerticalRulerInfo
This interface defines a visual component which may serve text viewers as an
annotation presentation area. Implementers of this interface have to define
the presentation modus. This can either depend on the connected viewer's view
port or not. If the modus is view port dependent the ruler only shows those
annotations that are attached to document regions that are visible in the
view port. If independent, the presented annotations can also be attached to
invisible document regions.
This interfaces comprises three contracts:
- The vertical ruler retrieves the annotations it presents from an
annotation model.
- The ruler is a visual component which must be integrated in a hierarchy
of SWT controls.
- The ruler provides interested clients with mapping and interaction
information. This covers the mapping between coordinates of the ruler's
control and line numbers based on the connected text viewer's document (see
IVerticalRulerInfo
).
In order to provide backward compatibility for clients of
IVerticalRuler
, extension interfaces are used as a means of
evolution. The following extension interfaces exist:
Clients may implement this interface or use the default implementation
provided by
CompositeRuler
and
VerticalRuler
.
