more frame-sizing cleanups -------------------- ChangeLog entries follow: -------------------- man/ChangeLog addition: 2010-02-16 Ben Wing <ben@xemacs.org> * internals/internals.texi (Top): * internals/internals.texi (Modules for the Basic Displayable Lisp Objects): * internals/internals.texi (Creating a Window-System Type): * internals/internals.texi (Window and Frame Geometry): * internals/internals.texi (Intro to Window and Frame Geometry): * internals/internals.texi (The Frame): * internals/internals.texi (The Non-Client Area): * internals/internals.texi (The Client Area): * internals/internals.texi (The Paned Area): * internals/internals.texi (Text Areas): * internals/internals.texi (The Displayable Area): * internals/internals.texi (Which Functions Use Which?): * internals/internals.texi (The Redisplay Mechanism): Integrate the long comment in frame.c into the internals manual. src/ChangeLog addition: 2010-02-16 Ben Wing <ben@xemacs.org> * frame-impl.h: * frame-impl.h (FRAME_INTERNAL_BORDER_WIDTH): * frame-impl.h (FRAME_REAL_TOOLBAR_BOUNDS): * frame-impl.h (FRAME_REAL_TOP_TOOLBAR_BOUNDS): * frame-impl.h (FRAME_BOTTOM_BORDER_START): * frame-impl.h (FRAME_LEFT_BORDER_START): * frame-impl.h (FRAME_RIGHT_BORDER_START): * frame.c (frame_conversion_internal_1): * frame.c (change_frame_size_1): * redisplay-output.c (clear_left_border): * redisplay-output.c (clear_right_border): * redisplay-output.c (redisplay_clear_top_of_window): * redisplay-output.c (redisplay_clear_to_window_end): * redisplay-output.c (redisplay_clear_bottom_of_window): Rename FRAME_BORDER_* to FRAME_INTERNAL_BORDER_*. Add general FRAME_INTERNAL_BORDER_SIZE(). Add FRAME_REAL_TOOLBAR_BOUNDS() to encompass the entire size of the toolbar including its border. Add specific top/left/bottom/right versions of this macro. Rewrite FRAME_*_BORDER_START and FRAME_*_BORDER_END to take into use FRAME_REAL_*_TOOLBAR_BOUNDS(). Add some comments about existing problems in frame sizing and how they might be fixed. Simplify change_frame_size_1() using the macros just created.

This directory contains a number of XEmacs dynamic modules.  These
modules can be loaded directly with the command 'M-x load-module'.
However, the preferred method of loading a module is to issue a
"(require 'module-name)" command to the Lisp interpreter.  This will
store information so that a later "(unload-feature 'module-name)" can
succeed.

To compile one of these modules, simply enter the desired directory,
type 'configure', and then 'make'.  If you are building the module for
an installed XEmacs, then 'make install' will place the module in the
appropriate directory for XEmacs to find it later (assuming you have
permission to write to that directory).  A subsequent 'load-module' or
'require' will then load the module, as described above.

Each of these demonstrates different features and limitations of the
XEmacs module loading technology.  For a complete discussion on XEmacs
dynamic modules, please consult the XEmacs Module Writers Guide, which
can be found in the ../info directory.

For those wanting to get started with module writing, please see the
'sample' directory.  It contains two subdirectories: internal and
external.  The 'internal' subdirectory contains the framework needed to
migrate some core piece of XEmacs functionality into code that can
either be compiled into the core or built as a separate module.  The
'external' subdirectory contains the somewhat simpler framework needed
to build a module separately from XEmacs.  These should be considered
starting places for module writing.
