NAME

       EditorInfo - stores information about an editor's contents

SYNOPSIS

       #include <Unidraw/editorinfo.h>

DESCRIPTION

       An  EditorInfo object is a UMap that stores a list of strings and/or string tuples.  Application-specific
       editors can use these objects to store information  about  what  components,  commands,  and  tools  they
       incorporate  in their interface.  The programmer can write out this information with a catalog object and
       read it back in later.  The application can then let  the  user  change  the  editor's  configuration  by
       editing  the  catalog-generated  file.   For example, an EditorInfo object could have a list of names for
       tools in the editor's interface that have been saved with the catalog. When the application is restarted,
       the EditorInfo object can be read first, and then the catalog  can  reconstruct  the  tools  given  their
       names.

PUBLIC OPERATIONS

       EditorInfo()
              Construct an EditorInfo instance.

       void Register(const char* name, const char* info = ``'')
       void UnregisterName(const char*)
       void UnregisterInfo(const char*)
       boolean Registered(const char* name)
              Register  enters  a name or name-info tuple into the EditorInfo object.  UnregisterName removes an
              entry whose name string matches the given one, while UnregisterInfo removes an  entry  whose  info
              string  matches  the  given  one.  The Registered operation returns whether or not an entry with a
              matching name exists.

       const char* GetName(const char* info)
       const char* GetInfo(const char* name)
              Name-info tuple lookup operations. The GetName operation returns the name corresponding to a given
              info string, while the GetInfo operation returns the info string for a given name.

       const char* GetName(int index)
       const char* GetInfo(int index)
              Name or info strings can be accessed by an index that  reflects  the  order  in  which  they  were
              registered.  These operations return the name or info string for a given index.
