| | Nah, it would make more sense to hack it into my own. I have some rather esoteric needs in this plugin or I would not have reinvented the wheel. :-/ | | Top |

| | I enhanced the plugin a few times. Now it can handle embedded newlines when you go to add more lines. You can also change the font interactively. |

| The plugin is my old Previewer plugin which I use to simulate game commands. (Yay color codes, special syntactual identifiers or other complicated MUSH commands.)
It goes out of its way to resemble MUSHclient's own rendering as much as humanly possible. On its own that should not be too hard, but since I also combine this with applying spell-checking, red 'Word squiggles' to match misspelled words as well as the tracking of positions in the command window, the implementation tends to get rather complicated on a lot of different layers.
In theory, I ought to be able to split things like wrapping, rendering, spell-checking and other such happy stuff into perfectly individual functions... but they end up relying on each other just a bit too often in more or less subtle ways.
Besides, if I end up implementing it, I probably need to do so in a way that supports my architecture where all the visual stuff has been split off into its own module for maximum visual customizability. Which means I need to go back to figuring out how all of that worked, how it needs to change to support scrolling, and finally cry over the fact it probably wasn't worth it.
That plugin basically implements the client and server at the same time. It is an utter nightmare, yet I keep coming back to it every so often. xD | | Top |

| If you have a function that draws the text (with whatever level of complexity) then scrolling basically just offsets the Y starting point (ie. you start drawing above the window).
So instead of starting at Y=0, you start at Y=-400 or whatever so that you don't actually see the part you have scrolled past.
Having done that you just draw a scroll bar with a thumb in the appropriate place. |
