public interface AnnotatedOutput
extends Output

Interface for a binary output destination that may be augmented with textual annotations.

Method Summary

void	annotate(int amt, String msg) Add an annotation for a specified amount of subsequent output.
void	annotate(String msg) Add an annotation for the subsequent output.
boolean	annotates() Get whether this instance will actually keep annotations.
void	endAnnotation() End the most recent annotation.
int	getAnnotationWidth() Get the maximum width of the annotated output.
boolean	isVerbose() Get whether this instance is intended to keep verbose annotations.

Method Detail

annotates

boolean annotates()

Get whether this instance will actually keep annotations.

Returns:

true iff annotations are being kept

isVerbose

boolean isVerbose()

Get whether this instance is intended to keep verbose annotations. Annotators may use the result of calling this method to inform their annotation activity.

Returns:

true iff annotations are to be verbose

annotate

void annotate(String msg)

Add an annotation for the subsequent output. Any previously open annotation will be closed by this call, and the new annotation marks all subsequent output until another annotation call.

Parameters:

msg - non-null; the annotation message

annotate

void annotate(int amt,
              String msg)

Add an annotation for a specified amount of subsequent output. Any previously open annotation will be closed by this call. If there is already pending annotation from one or more previous calls to this method, the new call "consumes" output after all the output covered by the previous calls.

Parameters:

amt - >= 0; the amount of output for this annotation to cover

msg - non-null; the annotation message

endAnnotation

void endAnnotation()

End the most recent annotation. Subsequent output will be unannotated, until the next call to annotate(java.lang.String).

getAnnotationWidth

int getAnnotationWidth()

Get the maximum width of the annotated output. This is advisory: Implementations of this interface are encouraged to deal with too-wide output, but annotaters are encouraged to attempt to avoid exceeding the indicated width.

Returns:

>= 1; the maximum width
