;;; Commentary:

;; This is the strokes package.  It is intended to allow the user to
;; control Emacs by means of mouse strokes.  Once strokes is loaded, you
;; can always get help be invoking `strokes-help':

;; > M-x strokes-help

;; and you can learn how to use the package.  A mouse stroke, for now,
;; can be defined as holding the shift key and the middle button, for
;; instance, and then moving the mouse in whatever pattern you wish,
;; which you have set Emacs to understand as mapping to a given
;; command.  For example, you may wish the have a mouse stroke that
;; looks like a capital `C' which means `copy-region-as-kill'.  Treat
;; strokes just like you do key bindings.  For example, Emacs sets key
;; bindings globally with the `global-set-key' command.  Likewise, you
;; can do

;; > M-x strokes-global-set-stroke

;; to interactively program in a stroke.  It would be wise to set the
;; first one to this very command, so that from then on, you invoke
;; `strokes-global-set-stroke' with a stroke.  Likewise, there may
;; eventually be a `strokes-local-set-stroke' command, also analogous
;; to `local-set-key'.

;; You can always unset the last stroke definition with the command

;; > M-x strokes-unset-last-stroke

;; and the last stroke that was added to `strokes-global-map' will be
;; removed.

;; Other analogies between strokes and key bindings are as follows:

;;    1) To describe a stroke binding, you can type

;;       > M-x strokes-describe-stroke

;;       analogous to `describe-key'.  It's also wise to have a stroke,
;;       like an `h', for help, or a `?', mapped to `describe-stroke'.

;;    2) stroke bindings are set internally through the Lisp function
;;       `strokes-define-stroke', similar to the `define-key' function.
;;       some examples for a 3x3 stroke grid would be

;;       (strokes-define-stroke c-mode-stroke-map
;;                      '((0 . 0) (1 . 1) (2 . 2))
;;                      'kill-region)
;;       (strokes-define-stroke strokes-global-map
;;                      '((0 . 0) (0 . 1) (0 . 2) (1 . 2) (2 . 2))
;;                      'list-buffers)

;;       however, if you would probably just have the user enter in the
;;       stroke interactively and then set the stroke to whatever he/she
;;       entered.  The Lisp function to interactively read a stroke is
;;       `strokes-read-stroke'.  This is especially helpful when you're
;;       on a fast computer that can handle a 9x9 stroke grid.

;;       NOTE: only global stroke bindings are currently implemented,
;;       however mode- and buffer-local stroke bindings may eventually
;;       be implemented in a future version.

;; The important variables to be aware of for this package are listed
;; below.  They can all be altered through the customizing package via

;; > M-x customize

;; and customizing the group named `strokes'.  You can also read
;; documentation on the variables there.

;; `strokes-minimum-match-score' (determines the threshold of error that
;; makes a stroke acceptable or unacceptable.  If your strokes aren't
;; matching, then you should raise this variable.

;; `strokes-grid-resolution' (determines the grid dimensions that you use
;; when defining/reading strokes.  The finer the grid your computer can
;; handle, the more you can do, but even a 3x3 grid is pretty cool.)
;; The default value (9) should be fine for most decent computers.
;; NOTE: This variable should not be set to a number less than 3.

;; `strokes-use-strokes-buffer' will allow you to hide the strokes
;; buffer when doing simple strokes.  This is a speedup for slow
;; computers as well as people who don't want to see their strokes.

;; If you find that your mouse is accelerating too fast, you can
;; execute an X command to slow it down.  A good possibility is

;; % xset m 5/4 8

;; which seems, heuristically, to work okay, without much disruption.

;; Whenever you load in the strokes package, you will be able to save
;; what you've done upon exiting Emacs.  You can also do

;; > M-x strokes-prompt-user-save-strokes

;; and it will save your strokes in your `strokes-file'.

;; Note that internally, all of the routines that are part of this
;; package are able to deal with complex strokes, as they are a superset
;; of simple strokes.  However, the default of this package will map
;; S-mouse-2 to the command `strokes-do-stroke', and M-mouse-2 to
;; `strokes-do-complex-stroke'.  Complex strokes are terminated
;; with mouse button 3.

;; You can also toggle between strokes mode by simple typing

;; > M-x strokes-mode

;; I hope that, with the help of others, this package will be useful
;; in entering in pictographic-like language text using the mouse
;; (i.e. Korean).  Japanese and Chinese are a bit trickier, but I'm
;; sure that with help it can be done.  The next version will allow
;; the user to enter strokes which "remove the pencil from the paper"
;; so to speak, so one character can have multiple strokes.

;; NOTE (Oct 7, 2006): The URLs below seem to be invalid!!!

;; You can read more about strokes at:

;; http://www.mit.edu/people/cadet/strokes-help.html

;; If you're interested in using strokes for writing English into Emacs
;; using strokes, then you'll want to read about it on the web page above
;; or just download from http://www.mit.edu/people/cadet/strokes-abc.el,
;; which is nothing but a file with some helper commands for inserting
;; alphanumerics and punctuation.

;; Great thanks to Rob Ristroph for his generosity in letting me use
;; his PC to develop this, Jason Johnson for his help in algorithms,
;; Euna Kim for her help in Korean, and massive thanks to the helpful
;; guys on the help instance on athena (zeno, jered, amu, gsstark,
;; ghudson, etc) Special thanks to Steve Baur, Kyle Jones, and Hrvoje
;; Nikšić for all their help.  And special thanks to Dave Gillespie
;; for all the elisp help--he is responsible for helping me use the cl
;; macros at (near) max speed.

;; Tasks: (what I'm getting ready for future version)...
;; 2) use 'strokes-read-complex-stroke for Korean, etc.
;; 4) buffer-local 'strokes-local-map, and mode-stroke-maps would be nice
;; 6) add some hooks, like `strokes-read-stroke-hook'
;; 7) See what people think of the factory settings.  Should I change
;;    them?  They're all pretty arbitrary in a way.  I guess they
;;    should be minimal, but computers are getting lots faster, and
;;    if I choose the defaults too conservatively, then strokes will
;;    surely disappoint some people on decent machines (until they
;;    figure out M-x customize).  I need feedback.
;; Other: I always have the most beta version of strokes, so if you
;;        want it just let me know.

;; Fixme: Use pbm instead of xpm for pixmaps to work generally.

the value of `strokes-grid-resolution', since a higher grid resolution
will correspond to more sample points, and thus more distance
measurements.  Usually, this is not a problem since you first set
`strokes-grid-resolution' based on what your computer seems to be able
to handle (though the defaults are usually more than sufficient), and
then you can set `strokes-minimum-match-score' to something that works

------------------------------------------------------------

** Strokes...

The strokes package allows you to define strokes, made with
the mouse or other pointer device, that Emacs can interpret as
corresponding to commands, and then executes the commands.  It does
character recognition, so you don't have to worry about getting it
right every time.

Strokes also allows you to compose documents graphically.  You can
fully edit documents in Chinese, Japanese, etc. based on Emacs
strokes.  Once you've done so, you can ASCII compress-and-encode them
and then safely save them for later use, send letters to friends
\(using Emacs, of course).  Strokes will later decode these documents,
extracting the strokes for editing use once again, so the editing
cycle can continue.

To toggle strokes-mode, invoke the command

> M-x strokes-mode

** Strokes for controlling the behavior of Emacs...

When you're ready to start defining strokes, just use the command

> M-x strokes-global-set-stroke

You will see a ` *strokes*' buffer which is waiting for you to enter in
your stroke.  When you enter in the stroke, you draw with button 1 or
button 2, and then end with button 3.  Next, you enter in the command
which will be executed when that stroke is invoked.  Simple as that.
For now, try to define a stroke to copy a region.  This is a popular
edit command, so type

> M-x strokes-global-set-stroke

Then, in the ` *strokes*' buffer, draw the letter `C' (for `copy')
and then, when it asks you to enter the command to map that to, type

> copy-region-as-kill

That's about as hard as it gets.
Remember: paint with button 1 or button 2 and then end with button 3.

If ever you want to know what a certain strokes maps to, then do

> M-x strokes-describe-stroke

and you can enter in any arbitrary stroke.  Remember: The strokes
package lets you program in simple and complex (multi-lift) strokes.
The only difference is how you *invoke* the two.  You will most likely
use simple strokes, as complex strokes were developed for
Chinese/Japanese/Korean.  So the shifted middle mouse button (S-mouse-2)
will invoke the command `strokes-do-stroke'.

If ever you define a stroke which you don't like, then you can unset
it with the command

> M-x strokes-unset-last-stroke

You can always get an idea of what your current strokes look like with
the command

> M-x strokes-list-strokes

Your strokes will be displayed in alphabetical order (based on command
names) and the beginning of each simple stroke will be marked by a
color dot.  Since you may have several simple strokes in a complex
stroke, the dot colors are arranged in the rainbow color sequence,
`ROYGBIV'.  If you want a listing of your strokes from most recent
down, then use a prefix argument:

> C-u M-x strokes-list-strokes

Your strokes are stored as you enter them.  They get saved into the
file specified by the `strokes-file' variable, along with other strokes
configuration variables.  You will be prompted to save them when you
exit Emacs, or you can save them with

> M-x strokes-prompt-user-save-strokes

Your strokes get loaded automatically when you enable `strokes-mode'.
You can also load in your user-defined strokes with

> M-x strokes-load-user-strokes

** Strokes for pictographic editing...

If you'd like to create graphical files with strokes, you'll have to
be running a version of Emacs with XPM support.  You use the binding
to `strokes-compose-complex-stroke' to start drawing your strokes.
These are just complex strokes, and thus continue drawing with mouse-1
or mouse-2 and end with mouse-3.  Then the stroke image gets inserted
into the buffer.  You treat it somewhat like any other character,
which you can copy, paste, delete, move, etc.  When all is done, you
may want to send the file, or save it.  This is done with

> M-x strokes-encode-buffer

Likewise, to decode the strokes from a strokes-encoded buffer you do

> M-x strokes-decode-buffer

** A few more important things...

o The command `strokes-do-complex-stroke' is invoked with M-mouse-2,
  so that you can execute complex strokes (i.e. with more than one lift)
  if preferred.

o Strokes are a bit computer-dependent in that they depend somewhat on
  the speed of the computer you're working on.  This means that you
  may have to tweak some variables.  You can read about them in the
  commentary of `strokes.el'.  Better to just use \\[apropos] and read their
  docstrings.  All variables/functions start with `strokes'.  The one
  variable which many people wanted to see was
  `strokes-use-strokes-buffer' which allows the user to use strokes
  silently--without displaying the strokes.  All variables can be set
  by customizing the group `strokes' via \\[customize-group]."))
