+Customizing the Text Widget

+ Customizing the Text Widget
+.XE
+.IN "Text widget" "customizing" "@DEF@"
+.LP
+The remainder of this chapter will describe customizing the Text
+widget. The Text widget may be customized by subclassing, or by
+creating new sources and sinks. Subclassing is described in
+detail in Chapter 7; this section will describe only those things that
+are specific to the Text widget. Attributes of the Text widget base
+class and creating new sources and sinks will be discussed.
+.LP
+The Text widget is made up of a number of different pieces, with the
+Text widget as the base widget class. It and the AsciiText widget are
+the only true "widgets" in the Text widget family. The other pieces
+(sources and sinks) are X Toolkit objects and have no window
+associated with them. No source or sink is useful unless assigned to
+a Text widget.
+.LP
+Each of the following pieces of the Text widget has a specific purpose,
+and will be, or has been, discussed in detail in this chapter:
+.IN "Text widget" ""
+.IP \fBText\fP 15
+This is the glue that binds everything else together. This widget reads
+the text data from the source, and displays the information in the sink.
+All translations and actions are handled in the Text widget itself.
+.IN "TextSink object" ""
+.IP \fBTextSink\fP 15
+This object is responsible for displaying and clearing the drawing area.
+It also reports the configuration of the window that contains the
+drawing area. The TextSink does not have its own window; instead it does
+its drawing on the Text widget's window.
+.IN "TextSrc object" ""
+.IP \fBTextSrc\fP 15
+This object is responsible for reading, editing and searching through the
+text buffer.
+.IN "AsciiSink object" ""
+.IP \fBAsciiSink\fP 15
+This object is a subclass of the TextSink and knows how to display
+ASCII text. Support has been added to display any 8-bit character set, given
+the font.
+.IN "MultiSink object" ""
+.IP \fBMultiSink\fP 15
+This object is a subclass of the TextSink and knows how to display
+font sets.
+.IN "AsciiSrc object" ""
+.IP \fBAsciiSrc\fP 15
+This object is a subclass of the TextSrc and knows how to read strings
+and files.
+.IN "MultiSrc object" ""
+.IP \fBMultiSrc\fP 15
+This object is a subclass of the TextSrc and knows how to read strings
+and multibyte files, converting them to wide characters based on locale.
+.IN "AsciiText widget" ""
+.IP \fBAsciiText\fP 15
+This widget is a subclass of the Text widget. When created, the AsciiText
+automatically creates and attaches either an AsciiSrc and AsciiSink, or a
+MultiSrc and MultiSink, to itself. The AsciiText provides the simplest
+interface to the Athena Text widgets.
