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.
