class:: Document
redirect:: implementationClass
summary:: Editor-specific text document editing
categories:: Frontends
related:: Classes/EmacsDocument, Classes/ScelDocument
description::
The Document class represents a text document within the context of your text editing environment. You can use the class to programmatically create, modify, and query these documents.
Document used to be an abstract class, meaning it didn't provide all the functionality itself, but instead relied on subclasses to complete the functionality. One such subclass was CocoaDocument. Although CocoaDocument was available only to macOS and had an ad hoc interface, it possessed many additional features like code animation and rich text.
In SuperCollider 3.6, Document changed a bit and now the "abstract class" descriptor is only partially true. The SuperCollider IDE provides its own version of the Document class. The Emacs editor still supplies link::Classes/ScelDocument:: (which links to link::Classes/EmacsDocument::) as a subclass of Document. As an unfortunate byproduct of the history of Document, there are inconsistencies in the APIs of SCIDE's Document and Emacs' ScelDocument. This help file describes that of SCIDE.
Future versions of SuperCollider will aim to fix these API inconsistencies and restore the functionality of CocoaDocument.
subsection:: Setting the Environment
By default code::envir:: it is set to the current link::Classes/Environment::. However, you can make it use its own link::Classes/Environment:: also. Thus, e.g., if you were to set the link::Classes/Environment:: variable code::~myVar = 12:: in the current link::Classes/Environment::, you can create a new Document window in which that link::Classes/Environment:: variable is not set.

Changing the default look of documents can be done with the help of the link::#*initAction:: method. Run the following example once. Afterwards all newly created documents will have a dark grey background. To make this change happen every time you start SuperCollider, put the code inside your startup.scd file (and optionally wrap it in a code::{}.defer(0.1):: ).
code::
(
Document.listener.background = Color.red; //a special color for post document
Document.listener.bounds = Rect(1, 461, 620, 567); //move and resize post document
Document.initAction = {|doc| //function to run for every new document
doc.background = Color.grey(0.1, 0.9);
doc.bounds = Rect(0, 119, 1280, 659);
doc.selectedBackground = Color(0.4, 0.05, 0.18);
doc.stringColor = Color.grey(0.9);
};
