          Description

Interface Summary
ContextListener Implemented by everything that can affect appearance through the graphics context, especially structural behaviors, lenses, spans.
EventListener Classes can implement this in order to be able to seize the grab.
 

Class Summary
Behavior The Behavior is the primary way to extend the system.
Browser This class implements a browser window.
CHashMap<V> Map that canonicalizes keys that are of type String to all lowercase
CLGeneral Generic context modifier, for runtime creation of new spans and structure, as by style sheets.
Context Graphics context object passed from node to node.
CursorMark Blinking cursor.
DocInfo Record of various data about a Document, for parameters for loading and for reports of general information for various behaviors.
Document An independent document, generally with content subtree, stylesheet, URI (not URL), Layers of behaviors that implementing genre- or document-specific functionality, and document-wide variables.
ESISNode Simple tree node for use in building parse tree: attributes, children, write linearized tree to string.
INode Internal nodes have children.
IScrollPane An internal node that scrolls its content as necessary.
Layer Special behavior type that groups (1) behaviors (which can be nested Layer's) and (2) data trees of ESISNodes, and dispatches (round robin) protocol events over its collection.
Leaf Leaf nodes are words of text, XDOC words, images, and so on.
Mark (Leaf, offset) pair.
MediaAdaptor Superclass for media adaptors: behaviors that parse some concrete document format and build a document tree.
Meta  
Multivalent Execute application startup, and act as a central repository for resources shared among all browser windows.
Node Base class for nodes of the document tree (both user interface and content), providing common tree manipulation methods as well as implementing before and after phases of tree walk protocols, calling another method that can be easily overridden.
SemanticEvent A semantic event, as opposed to a low-level mouse and keyboard events, defines a logical action, such as opening a new document.
Span A Span (aka Range aka Tk tag), such as a hyperlink or executable copy editor mark, is a linear range of content that can control appearance and receives events.
StyleSheet Map structural name pattern into ContextListener to add to Context's list of active behaviors.
SystemEvents Default implentation of standard set of system events: open document, load layer, and more.
TreeEvent TreeEvent's and all events defined by Java itself, such as those describing mouse and keyboard events, are low-level events.
VObject Objects with a name and attributes.
 

Exception Summary
ParseException MediaAdaptors should return this when encountering an unfixable/unrecoverable parsing error.
