Syntax checking/Visualisation

back to Syntax checking page

Proof of concept from May 23.

Meeting of the 12.05.06, Visualsation Team

Summary of the important classes with little description of the features we plan to use:

Src\library\editor\text_window\text\tokens\common\editor_token.e

• most important class
• all the other tokens inherit from this Class
• implement a boolean "is_correct”, who indicates if the token is syntacticly correct or not.
• color, position and other stuff is saved here too.

editor_token_text.e

• top token class for all text-related tokens
• width -> the size of the token in pixel
• display_with_colors: this should be the feature we could hook to do draw our underlining

Src\library\editor\text_window\editor\text_window\interface\text_panel.e

• container containing tokens

Next Steps are to implement the boolean (shouldn't be that hard), find a way to get the information from the parser group (define an API), use the information and set the boolean and in the end draw the underline.

TEXT_OBSERVER, EDITABLE_TEXT_PANEL.on_char may be relevant for parser hook too!
