Returns YES
if aPoint is
inside the region. Subclasses define regions by
overriding this method.

Initializes a new instance and sets the container size to aSize.
Querying the region
Returns
YES
if the region for this container is
a rectangle as large as the container size, otherwise
NO
. For simple rectangular regions, the
text system can apply certain optimizations.
NSTextContainer always returns
YES
. Subclasses that define more
complex regions must return NO
.
Returns the layout manager of this text container.
Description forthcoming.
This is the main method used by the text system for querying the region and flowing text in it. It takes a proposed line fragment rectangle and, if possible, splits it into a valid line fragment rectangle, and a remaining rectangle that can be used in subsequent calls to this method. sweepDir is the direction that text moves inside the lines, and moveDir is the direction lines move in, or NSLineDoesntMove if the line may not move. The line sweep and line movement may not both be in the same dimension, ie. both be vertical, or both be horizontal. The method returns the first (according to the sweep direction) valid line fragment rectangle in the proposed rectangle. This line fragment rectangle is a sub-rectangle of the proposed rectangle in the sweep direction, and has the same size in the other direction. (Ie. if the sweep direction is left, the line fragment rectangle must have the same height as the proposed rectangle.) If there is no valid line fragment rectangle in the proposed rectangle, the proposed rectangle may be moved in the line movement direction until there is one. If no valid line fragment rectangle can be returned, the method returns NSZeroRect. The remaining rectangle should be set to the potentially valid part of the proposed rectangle, after moving in the line movement direction, that remains after the first line fragment rectangle. The proposed rectangle may be any rectangle; in particular, it may extend outside the container size. The remaining rectangle does not have to be or contain a valid line fragment rectangle. Subclasses define regions by overriding this method. Note: The TextContainerExample in the text system example collection (TODO: link) contains an example implementation of an NSTextContainer subclass that defiens a non-trivial region, as well as an interactive demonstration of this method. It can also be used as a simple test of custom subclasses. Note: Although a correct NSTextContainer implementation must handle all line sweep and movement directions, the current standard typesetter will only call this method with sweep right, and no movement or movement down. Relying on this makes writing a subclass easier, but it is not safe.
Managing the text network
A text container
may be attached to one layout manager and one text
view. The text container is retained by the layout
manager, and retains the text view.
Replaces the layout manager of this text container
with aLayoutManager. This is done without
changing the rest of the text network, so
aLayoutManager will be connected to the
text storage and text containers that the current
layout manager is connected to.
The container size
A text container has a
container size. The region defined by the text
container must be a subset of the rectangle of
this size with it's top-left corner in the origin.
Subclasses do not have to support arbitrary
sizes, and may choose to ignore
-setContainerSize:
completely. However, the size returned by
-containerSize
must be valid.
Description forthcoming.
This method should not be called directly. It is called by the layout manager when the layout manager of a text container changes.
Line fragment padding
The line fragment padding
is an amount of space left empty at each end of a line
fragment rectangle by the standard typesetter. The
default is 0.0.
Sets the NSTextView for this text container. Note that a text view should be attached to a text container only if the text container is attached to a layout manager that can handle text views (eg. NSLayoutManager). The text view is retained by the text container.
Automatic resizing
A text container can be
set to automatically track the width and/or height of
its NSTextView (TODO: frame? bounds?). For more
information, see the documentation on
automatic resizing in NSTextView. (TODO: link)
When enabled, the automatic resizing is done by
calling
[NSTextContainer -setContainerSize:]
with the new size whenever the text view is resized.
Returns the NSTextView attached to this text
container, or nil
if there is none.
