Editor window

    Editor is the basic part of whole Xelfi system. It is needed for writing non-visual classes and participates on the design of visual ones. That is why it important to understand to all its features well. So let us describe parts of its window in spite of their straightforward meaning:

    The name of Java class that is loaded in the editor is displayed in title bar and its source is shown in window area. The area has black background, normal text is displayed in white color and comments are green (but the colors are mutable and can be changed in options dialog). The filesystem path to edited source file is shown in the status line at bottom of the editor window. This path indicator is preceded by indicator of synchronization of file that can be in following states:

    • Synchronized means that the text in editor is same as the text that is saved in file on filesystem.
    • Modified signals that the content of the editor has been changed and differs with the file stored on the filesystem.
    The state of source can be altered by saving. Above the bottom line the position indicator is displayed. It shows two numbers separated by colon. The first counts the number of lines from the cursor to the top of text and the second number of rows to the begin of line. The rest of window is filled by scrollbars that show horizontal and vertical position in file.
