The following generic functions comprise the stream text cursor protocol. Any extended output stream class must implement methods for these generic functions.
stream-text-cursor [Generic Function]
(setf stream-text-cursor) [Generic Function]
Summary: Returns (or sets) the text cursor object for the stream stream .
stream-cursor-position [Generic Function]
Summary: Returns the current text cursor position for the extended output stream stream as two integer values, the x and y positions.
(setf* stream-cursor-position) [Generic Function]
Summary: Sets the text cursor position of the extended output stream stream to x and y . x and y are in device units, and must be integers. For the details of setf* , see C.4, Multiple-Value Setf
stream-increment-cursor-position [Generic Function]
Summary: Moves the text cursor position of the extended output stream stream relatively, adding dx to the x coordinate and dy to the y coordinate. Either of dx or dy may be nil , meaning the the x or y cursor position will be unaffected. Otherwise, dx and dy must be integers.
