Interface NbDocument.PositionBiasable

All Superinterfaces:: Document

Enclosing interface:: NbDocument

public static interface NbDocument.PositionBiasable
extends Document

Enhanced version of document that provides better support for holding and working with biased positions. It adds one new method createPosition(int, javax.swing.text.Position.Bias) that creates a position that moves either to the left or to the right when an insertion is performed at it.

If a document implements this interface, the new method is used in NbDocument.createPosition(javax.swing.text.Document, int, javax.swing.text.Position.Bias). If not, special support for the position is created.
