ConnectCmd, CopyCmd, CutCmd, DeleteCmd, DupCmd, MobilityCmd, PasteCmd,
RedoCmd, ReplaceCmd, SlctAllCmd, UndoCmd \- editing commands
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B #include <Unidraw/Commands/edit.h>
.SH DESCRIPTION
The Unidraw library defines several commands that offer common
component editing functionality.  ConnectCmd is a non-interpretive
command that connects two connectors.  CopyCmd copies selected
components onto its clipboard (if it defines one) or onto the global
clipboard.  CutCmd, DeleteCmd, DupCmd, and PasteCmd are purely
interpretive commands that are always interpreted by their editor's
component. MobilityCmd gives selected components the opportunity to
set their mobility based on the value it provides.  UndoCmd and
RedoCmd are non-interpretive commands that simply undo and redo the
last command that affected their editor's component.  ReplaceCmd
replaces selected components with the component it stores.  Finally,
SlctAllCmd is a non-interpretive command that selects all the
components displayed in its editor.
.SH CONNECTCMD PUBLIC OPERATIONS
.TP
.B "ConnectCmd("
.ns
.TP
.B "    ControlInfo*,"
.ns
.TP
.B "    Connector* source = nil, Connector* target = nil"
.ns
.TP
.B ")"
.ns
.TP
.B "ConnectCmd(Editor* = nil, Connector* = nil, Connector* = nil)"
The ConnectCmd constructor optionally takes two connectors as
parameters, the \fIsource\fP and the \fItarget\fP.  When executed, it
will call Connect on \fIsource\fP with \fItarget\fP as its argument.
It will also set the source's mobility to floating.
.TP
.B "void GetConnectors(Connector*& source, Connector*& target)"
Return the connectors supplied in the constructor.
.SH COPYCMD PUBLIC OPERATIONS
.TP
.B "CopyCmd(ControlInfo*, Clipboard* = nil)"
.ns
.TP
.B "CopyCmd(Editor* = nil, Clipboard* = nil)"
Create a CopyCmd instance, optionally specifying a clipboard in which
to store copied components.
.TP
.B "virtual void Execute()"
Execute does nothing if no components are selected. Otherwise, Execute
places a copy of the selected components onto the CopyCmd's clipboard
if is non-nil or else onto the global clipboard (obtained from the
catalog).
.TP
.B "virtual boolean Reversible()"
CopyCmd is not reversible.
.SH CUTCMD PUBLIC OPERATIONS
.TP
.B "CutCmd(ControlInfo*, Clipboard* = nil)"
.ns
.TP
.B "CutCmd(Editor* = nil, Clipboard* = nil)"
Create a CutCmd instance, optionally specifying a clipboard in which
to store the components that were cut.
.TP
.B "virtual void Execute()"
.ns
.TP
.B "virtual void Unexecute()"
CutCmd redefines these operations to let the editor's component
interpret it.  Execute will set the value of the \fI_executed\fP
protected member variable to \fItrue\fP as a side effect.  Similarly,
Unexecute will reset the value to \fIfalse\fP as a side effect.
.SH DELETECMD PUBLIC OPERATIONS
.TP
.B "DeleteCmd(ControlInfo*, Clipboard* = nil)"
.ns
.TP
.B "DeleteCmd(Editor* = nil, Clipboard* = nil)"
Create a DeleteCmd instance, optionally specifying a clipboard in which
to store the components that were deleted.
.TP
.B "virtual void Execute()"
.ns
.TP
.B "virtual void Unexecute()"
DeleteCmd redefines these operations to let the editor's component
interpret it. Execute will set the value of the \fI_executed\fP
protected member variable to \fItrue\fP as a side effect.  Similarly,
Unexecute will reset the value to \fIfalse\fP as a side effect.
.SH DUPCMD PUBLIC OPERATIONS
.TP
.B "DupCmd(ControlInfo*, Clipboard* = nil)"
.ns
.TP
.B "DupCmd(Editor* = nil, Clipboard* = nil)"
Create a DupCmd instance, optionally specifying a clipboard in which
to store the components that were duplicated.
.TP
.B "virtual void Execute()"
.ns
.TP
.B "virtual void Unexecute()"
DupCmd redefines these operations to let the editor's component
interpret it. Execute will set the value of the \fI_executed\fP
protected member variable to \fItrue\fP as a side effect.  Similarly,
Unexecute will reset the value to \fIfalse\fP as a side effect.
.SH MOBILITYCMD PUBLIC OPERATIONS
.TP
.B "MobilityCmd(ControlInfo*, Mobility = Fixed)"
.ns
.TP
.B "MobilityCmd(Editor* = nil, Mobility = Fixed)"
Create a MobilityCmd instance, optionally specifying the mobility that
interpreting components may use.
.TP
.B "Mobility GetMobility()"
Return the mobility specified in the constructor.
.SH PASTECMD PUBLIC OPERATIONS
.TP
.B "PasteCmd(ControlInfo*, Clipboard* = nil)"
.ns
.TP
.B "PasteCmd(Editor* = nil, Clipboard* = nil)"
Create a PasteCmd instance, optionally specifying a clipboard in which
to store the components that will be pasted.
.TP
.B "virtual void Execute()"
.ns
.TP
.B "virtual void Unexecute()"
PasteCmd redefines these operations to let the editor's component
interpret it.  Execute will set the value of the \fI_executed\fP
protected member variable to \fItrue\fP as a side effect.  Similarly,
Unexecute will reset the value to \fIfalse\fP as a side effect.
.TP
.B "virtual boolean Reversible()"
PasteCmd is reversible if either its clipboard or the global clipboard
is non-empty.
.SH REDOCMD PUBLIC OPERATIONS
.TP
.B "RedoCmd(ControlInfo*)"
.ns
.TP
.B "RedoCmd(Editor* = nil)"
Construct a new RedoCmd.
.TP
.B "virtual boolean Reversible()"
RedoCmd is not reversible.
.SH REPLACECMD PUBLIC OPERATIONS
.TP
.B "ReplaceCmd(ControlInfo*, GraphicComp* replacement = nil)"
.ns
.TP
.B "ReplaceCmd(Editor* = nil, GraphicComp* replacement = nil)"
Create a new ReplaceCmd, optionally supplying the GraphicComp that
will replace those that are selected.
.TP
.B "GraphicComp* GetReplacement()"
Return the replacement GraphicComp supplied in the constructor.
.SH SLCTALLCMD PUBLIC OPERATIONS
.TP
.B "SlctAllCmd(ControlInfo*)"
.ns
.TP
.B "SlctAllCmd(Editor* = nil)"
Construct a new SlctAllCmd.
.TP
.B "virtual boolean Reversible()"
SlctAllCmd is not reversible.
.SH UNDOCMD PUBLIC OPERATIONS
.TP
.B "UndoCmd(ControlInfo*)"
.ns
.TP
.B "UndoCmd(Editor* = nil)"
Construct a new UndoCmd.
.TP
.B "virtual boolean Reversible()"
UndoCmd is not reversible.
