Method Detail

setLimit

public static int setLimit(int newLimit)

replaceText

public static void replaceText(TextBuffer target,
                               int offset,
                               int length,
                               char[] data)

Replaces text in the target TextBuffer with the input data with the smallest changes possible. In particular, this will use the compare algorithm to determine the smallest changes (to the TextBuffer) to make to the TextBuffer to, in effect, replace the target region of text with the input data text.Used when it's important to preserve OffsetMark's in the TextBuffer.

Parameters:

target - The TextBuffer we'll be making changes to.

offset - The start offset of the target region in "target".

length - The length of the target region in "target".

data - The new characters that we'll be inserting into "target".
