An "annotation" is a pixmap or string that is not part of a buffer's text but is displayed next to a particular location in a buffer. Annotations can be displayed intermixed with text, in any whitespace at the beginning or end of a line, or in a special area at the left or right side of the frame called a "margin", whose size is controllable. Annotations are implemented using extents (*note Extents::); but you can work with annotations without knowing how extents work. (my original reason for using them was that they were simply easier to use) --=20 "Ninjas aren't dangerous. They're more afraid of you than you are of them." --=-=-=--
