CHAPTER 8

Text and Ink Input and Display

8-6 Using Text

Compatibility 8

One of the signiﬁcant advances in software functionality in the Newton 2.0 system

is the capacity to process ink in most views, which includes deferred recognition

and the ability to mix text and ink together in rich string. This expands the behavior

provided by Newton 1.x machines, which generally process written input

immediately for recognition and display the resulting word in a typeface.

These additional capabilities made it necessary to extend the Recognition menu.

The Newton 2.0 Recognition menu adds more input options and replaces the

toggling Recognizer buttons of the Newton 1.x status bar.

The Newton 2.0 system also behaves slightly differently when merging text into

paragraph views. When caret insertion writing mode is disabled, paragraphs no

longer automatically insert carriage returns or tabs. This is true regardless of

whether the user is entering text or ink words.

With Newton System 2.0, you can include images in your edit views. Edit views

(clEditView) can now contain picture views (

clPictureView) as child views

Any ink written on a 1.x machine can be dragged into a Newton System 2.0

paragraph and automatically converted into an ink word.

Notes, text, or ink moved from a Newton 1.x to a Newton with the 2.0 system

works correctly without any intervention. However, the reverse is not true: you

cannot insert a a card with 2.0 or later data into a 1.x machine.

The expando protos have become obsolete. These are

protoExpandoShell,

protoDateExpando, protoPhoneExpando, and protoTextExpando.

These protos are still supported for 1.x application compatibility, but should not be

used in new applications.

Using Text 8

This section describes how to use various features of text input and display on the

Newton and provides examples of some of these features.

Using Views and Protos for Text Input and Display 8

This section describes the different views and protos to use in your applications for

text input and display.

General Input Views 8

The clEditView view class is used for a view that can display and/or accept text

and graphic data. Views of the

clEditView class contain no data directly;
