The goal of this commit is to make painting faster by reducing the
number of strings to paint. To this end, it is necessary to include
spaces in row elements.
Also importantly, this commit should fix existing problems with line
breaking in chinese text.
* TextMetrics::breakRow: do not do anything special for word separators.
* Row::add: when adding a character to a row element, keep the string
width updated. If need be, it is possible to tweak this by updating
every 10 characters, for example.
* GuiFontMetrics::breakAt (new): use QTextLayout to break text either
at word boundary or at an arbitrary width.
* Row::Element::breakAt: use the above method.
* Row::shortenIfNeeded: simplify now that because there is no need for
handling separator elements. This will be taken care of by the
improved breakAt.
Two things remain to be done:
* remove all traces of separator row element
* re-implement text justification.
In breakRow set left and right margin properly for RTL paragraphs.
Remove corresponding code from ComputeRowMetrics.
In row painter, check the use of left and right margin depending on
context. The problem in the original text is that the various
leftMargin() methods actually represent right margin for RTL
paragraphs. This should be fixed eventually.
The document iterator now skips math insets and insets like notes where spell check is disabled.
The continuous spell checking is part of the row painter drawing and the spell check disabled state
has to be passed down recursively while doing the inset painting.
* Remove the UndoKind parameter in the general interface
* move recordUndoInset to Cursor
* remove one variant of Undo::recordUndo.
* get rid of Text::recUndo.
The computation of length on screen depend in particular of the computation of the size of an em. Many places of the code used to rely on the width of the M character, which is not really correct:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Em_%28typography%29
In digital typography, the best value to use is the point size of the font.
* Implement FontMetrics::em(), which returns the value in pixels of the EM unit.
Convert code to use it.
* Introduce Length::inPixel(MetricsBase const &), which takes the textwidth and em information from the MetricsBase object. Convert code to use it.
* Fix several places where Length::inPixel is used without a proper em value.
* add mathed_font_em() helper function. It should eventually be removed like some other functions in MathSupport.
* Add dummy implementation of FontMetrics to tex2lyx for linking purposes.
There are several places in the code where a row is painted with drawing disabled in the painter. The goal is only to recompute inset positions.
Such a case happens in BufferView::checkCursorScrollOffset, as part of the horizontal scrolling patch. Note that this particular piece of code should eventually be removed, since it is a performance problem.
It makes sense to consider that only a real painting of a row should change its status. However, I would not be surprised if this change would break other things.
Fixes: #9388

This implement horizontal scrolling of rows to allow editing insets
(math, tabular...) that are larger then the screen. The scrolling happens
as the cursor moves, in order to make sure that the cursor is always visible.
This effectively closes an 11 years old bug.
This feature is the result of the work of Hashini Senaratne as part of
Google Summer of Code 2013. The code has been cleaned-up for inclusion
and remaining bugs have been fixed.
Fixes bug: #1083.
* When doing a redraw with drawing disabled (to set inset positions properly), take horizontal scroll offset in account
* reset horizontal scroll offset when it is smaller than the left margin.
* when drawing a paragraph, do not modify x globally, only for the row that is offset.
[This commit is the output of the "horizontal scrolling" GSoC 2013
project, by Hashini Senaratne. The code has been cleaned up, some
variables have been renamed and moved from the Cursor class to
BufferView::Private. This is the base from which I (jmarc) will polish
the feature for landing on master.
Below is the original commit log of Hashini, updated to reflect the
changes that have been done.]
This feature also applicable for other insets; graphics and labels.
This implementation is capable of scrolling a single row when reaching
its content which is beyond the screen limits, using left and right
arrow keys.
The attribute 'horiz_scroll_offset_' introduced in the
BufferView::Private class plays a main role in horizontal scrolling of
the wide rows that grow beyond the screen limits. This attribute
represents by how much pixels the current row that the text cursor
lies in should be get scrolled.
The main logic that is responsible for drawing the scrolled rows is
within the BufferView class, BufferView::checkCursorScrollOffset.
* The main logic is called via BufferView::draw.
* What this does is set the horiz_scroll_offset_ attribute in in order to
show the position that the text cursor lies in.
* To make sure that BufferView::draw gets involved when Update flag is
FitCursor, necessary changes are made in BufferView::processUpdateFlags.
Basically what the logic that used to set the horiz_scroll_offset_
does is,
* The row which the text cursor lies in is identified by a
CursorSlice that points to the beginning of the row. This is the
'rowSlice' variable used in BufferView::checkCursorScrollOffset. Acessors
are added to obtain this variable. Here row objects were not used to
identify the current row, because it appears that row objects can
disappear when doing a decoration update for example. This means that
comparing row pointers is not a good idea, because they can change
without notice.
* Stop calculations of horiz_scroll_offset_ variable, if metrics have not been
computed yet. Otherwise the calls to TextMetrics::parMetrics, calls
redoParagraph and may change the row heigths. Therefore vertical scrolling
feature may get disturbed. This is avoided.
* Using BufferView::::setCurrentRowSlice resets horiz_scroll_offset_
when changing cursor row. This is done in order to prevent unwanted
scrolling that happens when changing the selected row using up and
down arrow keys.
* Recompute inset positions before checking scoll offset of the row, by
painting the row insets with drawing disabled. This is done because the
position of insets is computed within the drawing procedure.
* Current x position of the text cursor is compared with the
horiz_scroll_offset_ value and the other variables like row.width(),
bv.workWidth(). Compute the new horiz_scroll_offset_ value in order
to show where the text cursor lies in. The basics conditions that we
check before recomputing it are, if the text cursor lies rightward to
the current right screen boundary, if the text cursor lies leftward
to the current left screen boundary, if the text cursor lies within
screen boundaries but the length of the row is less than the left
boundary of the screen (this happens when we delete some content of
the row using delete key or backspace key).
* Change update strategy when scrooll offset has changed. This allows to
redraw the row when no drawing was scheduled. By doing so, it was
possible to redraw a wide row when moving to the leftmost position of the
wide row, from the leftmost position of the row below, using the left
arrow key.
In TextMetrics::drawParagraph it is checked whether the current row is
what is drawing now. If it is so, the value used to the x value of the row
for drawing is adapted according to BufferView::horizScrollOffset.
The method used to pass boundary() was fixed to get row when cursor was in
a nested inset. This matter is considered in Cursor::textRow and it is
modified accordingly.
GuiWorkArea::Private::showCursor() is modified to show the cursor position
in a scrolled row.
All the code that is run before row metrics have been computed should use int arithmetic. After metrics have been computed, we still need doubles because fully justified rows use double for Row::Element::extra.
Rename Row::x to Row::left_margin and change its type to int.
Rename Row::Element::width() to full_width(). In some places of the code, use dim.wid (the int version without the extra separator) because metrics have not been computed.
Let Row::Element::x2pos take a int& argument instead of double&
Let Row::Element::breakAt take a int argument instead of double
The problem was that some parts of the code assume that the right margin is part of the width of the row. This is not the case, only the left margin (Row::x) is counted.
The code has been fixed and documented to reflect this.
This can only be done where splitting of string is identical in row breaking and display. It will be possible to reintroduce this when row painting uses the tokenized row information.
This variable was introduced to guard against any bad consequence of the then-new right-to-left
languages support. Let's be bold and get rid of it altogether!
Now right to left support is always enabled.
This commits (tries to) reintroduce properly the code that was reverted at the beginning of this branch. This had to be done because these patches interefered with the big refactoring of TextMetrics.cpp.
This commit reintroduces the changes to TextMetrics.cpp contained in c668ebf6, c85dbfea9 and 061509bf.
Moreover, breaks row at insets when there is no suitable separator.
Also make the code of Row::shorten_if_needed somewhat simpler by using
iterators and factoring the code.
Fixes: #9120
All these problems are related to what happens at the extreme points of rows
* since VIRTUAL elements have a width but no contents, they have to
be treated specially at some places. It would have been better to
avoid testing for them explicitly, but I did not find a way.
* Improve and cleanup the code in breakRow and fix in passing a crash
when clicking on the right of an incomplete MARGIN_MANUAL
paragraph.
* improve the computation of row width in TextMetrics::computeRowMetrics.
* handle properly the case where a position if not found on the row
in both cursorX and getPosNearX (actually, this happens when
selecting).
* Some code cleanup and comments.
* fix handling of boundary situations in Row::Elements::x2pos;
* fix handling of boundary situations in TextMetrics::getColumnNearX;
* make sure to always use Font::isVisibleRightToLeft instead of Font::isRightToLeft;
* Improve debug messages.
The horizontal position of the inset was not taken in account.
The rounding is not always the same as with the old code, but this
is not really important.
Additional changes:
* improve debug output of rows
* remove Bidi& argument of the RowPainter constructor, since it is always
an empty Bifi that is passed. This means that the Bidi class is not
used at all any more in TextMetrics.cpp. The only remaining user is
RowPainter.
Break words longer than the screen width. The code is more complicated
than I would like, but I have no better idea right now.
Implement properly the notion of a row broken by a display inset. This is useful in different places.
Also fix a bug with last line of a paragraph spotted by Kornel.
Use proper font everywhere for end-of-par marker
Fix getColumnNearX for RTL text and for centered/right-justified paragraphs.
Let computeRowMetrics update the row width.
* convert cursorX to new scheme; old computation is still there for the sake of comparison.
* use Row to compute separator width in computeRowMetrics; again, the old code is retained for now.
* Get rid of rowWidth()
* Row now contains a vector of Elements
* replace Row::dump by a proper << operator
* the width is updated as elements are added
* breakRow is reimplmented to use this infrastructure
Collect properly all strings to compute string metrics
Some changes with respect to existing code
- end of paragraph font is now the one of the text
- words longer than a line are not broken anymore. I think this is not useful if we have horizontal scrollbar
Other than that, the code is still compatible with rowWidth and friends.
Do not assert if an inset separator is the only item of a List
environment. Although it is a weird thing to do, both GUI and
latex output can deal with it.
This fixes a crash in examples/fa/splash.lyx when selecting text
representing menu entries. This happens because menu names are in LTR
English, while the inset itself is in RTL.
The problem is that the current code relies on the fact that
1. getColumnNearX and checkInsetHit share the same idea about cursor
position.
2. pos and pos + 1 are in general consecutive on screen.
It seems that 1. is wrong here (for reasons I did not try to
understand); the second assumption is definitely false with
bi-directional text. This makes editXY very fragile.
The new code should be more robust in this respect. The logic is:
* if checkInsetHit finds an inset, use its position,
* otherwise, ask getColumnNearX for the cursor position.
Fixes: #9142
When deciding whether a paragraph should be indented or not, LyX
only takes into account default layouts. This is wrong, because
an environment could be nested into another one and thus a following
paragraph would not be "default". With this patch all paragraphs
after an environment are correctly indented, independently of
whether their layouts are "default" or not.
The latex output (which was modeled following the previous wrong
assumption) is also correspondingly adapted.
If a new paragraph is created just before a nested environment,
the indentation of the nested environment is not computed
correctly because the parindent of the previous layout would
also be erroneously taken into account. This would cause the
nested environment to move back and forth when something is
added to the new paragraph.
LyX fails to indent on screen a standard paragraph when it is
nested into an environment. The fix is a one-liner but the diff
is larger because it also fixes a previous wrong indentantion
in the source ;)
If a layout has NextNoIndent set to true, the following paragraph
is not indented on screen. LyX checks the previous layout for that
style parameter to decide whether to indent or not. Of course,
what matters is the latex output and the on-screen representation
should match this output. Now, when a layout has NextNoIndent==true,
the latex output is correctly not indented, while the on-screen
representation may fail to match this output. This can occur when,
for example, a standard paragraph is nested in the previous layout,
because LyX would check the property of the nested layout instead
of the container layout. Thus, LyX should check the property of a
previous layout at the same depth for correctly deciding whether
a paragraph has to be indented or not.
See also http://www.lyx.org/trac/ticket/9055#comment:12 for an
example document where the previous scenario actually occurs.
The algorithm used for breaking a paragraph in LaTeX export is changed
for avoiding spurious blank lines causing too much vertical space.
This change is tied to the introduction of a new inset (with two
different specializations) helping in either outputing LaTeX paragraph
breaks or separating environments in LyX. Both of the above goals were
previously achieved by the ---Separator--- layout and can now be
accomplished by the new inset in a more natural way. As an example,
after leaving an environment by hitting the Return key for two times,
a third return automatically inserts a parbreak inset, which is
equivalent to the old separator layout, i.e., it also introduces a
blank line in the output. If this blank line is not wanted, the
parbreak separator can be changed to a plain separator by a right
click of the mouse. Of course, an environment can still be separated
by the following one by using the Alt+P+Return shortcut (or the
corresponding menu key), but now the plain separator inset is used
instead of the old separator layout, such that no blank line occurs in
the LaTeX output.
Old documents are converted such that the LaTeX output remains unchanged.
As a result of this conversion, the old separator layout is replaced by
the new parbreak inset, which may also appear in places where the old
algorithm was introducing blank lines while the new one is not.
Note that not all blank lines were actually affecting the LaTeX output,
because a blank line is simply ignored by the TeX engine when it occurs
in the so called "vertical mode" (e.g., after an alignment environment).
The old ---Separator--- layout is now gone and old layout files using it
are also automatically converted.
Round trip conversions between old and new format should leave a document
unchanged. This means that the new behavior about paragraph breaking is
not "carried back" to the old format. Indeed, this would need introducing
special LaTeX commands in ERT that would accumulate in roundtrip
conversions, horribly cluttering the document. So, when converting a
modified document to old formats, the LaTeX output may slightly differ in
vertical spacing if the document is processed by an old version of LyX.
In other words, forward compatibility is guaranteed, but not backwards.
TextMetrics::getColumnNearX (x -> pos translation) has special code to
ignore spaces at the beginning of a row, but neither the display code
nor TextMetrics::cursorX (pos->x translation) follow this logic. One
might argue that spaces should actually be ignored (like LaTeX does),
but this leads to UI issues and is probably too difficult to
implement.
An iterator is typicall incremented passed the valid data into the 'end'
state. However, if this means that other functions are called with invalid
parameter, we should fix this.
This explains why fontSpan was called with pos==size() while this was not
expected to happen.

Fixes bug #7111: Assertion with undo and InsetBibitem
* add Paragraph::brokenBiblio(), with tells whether there is something to fix.
* rename Paragraph::checkBiblio to fixBiblio; simplify it greatly by using
InsetList methods
* In TextMetrics::redoParagraph, call recordUndo before fixBiblio (only when
there is something to fix obviously)
Special care is taken to update cursor only when it makes sense. Note
that there are cases where undo information is not recorded (current
cursor not in the slice where action happens)
While cppcheck did not turn out any suspicious error messages, using
the "performance" flag highlighted several nitpicks in three categories
* do not use it++ for iterators, ++it is better
* do not use size() to test for emptyness, empty() is here
* do not use "const T" as a function parameter, "const & T" is better
I doubt that any of these is a real performance problem, but the code is cleaner anyway.

As long as leftMargin() is not correctly implemented for
MARGIN_RIGHT_ADDRESS_BOX, we should also not do this here. Otherwise, long
rows will be painted off the screen and will not be editable.
If we are in rtl text, we *need* to check whether the first character is a
space. We can't use the rtl variable for this because this is only
computed on the last row.
This bug was introduced in [0a137e31/lyxgit] to fix the computation for
freespacing paragraphs. We better can just check whether the paragraph is
freespacing or not.
tells LyX not to show BLOCK text as justified, but still keeps
the usual paragraph indentation.

DispatchResult to store a flag that tells us whether we need a buffer
update or not.
So: If you find a missing one, go to an appropriate place in the
dispatch and call cur.forceBufferUpdate() or, if you don't have a cursor
but do have a DispatchResult, call dr.forceBufferUpdate().
There is one remaining call I could not move, in
TextMetrics::redoParagraph. But this looks like an emergency call when
the macro context has not been set. There are also a couple calls that
are connected with buffer creation that I commented out, since the same
call is done again almost immediately. But I'm not positive about those.
Now the nice thing would be to do the same for updateMacros().
