/* jwidget_poly_csize_t: Determine the natural content size of a widget
This function is called during layout. It should set the natural size of the
content box of the widget in (w->w) and (w->h). If the widget has a layout,
this function will not be called; instead, the layout will determine the
natural content size. Thus, this function is mostly useful for content
widgets and not useful for containers.
Implementations of this function should use jwidget_msize() on the children
to position their margin box within the widget's content box. The size set
by this function needs not be in the minimum/maximum range of the widget. */
typedef void jwidget_poly_csize_t(void *w);
/* jwidget_poly_layout_t: Layout a widget after its size has been set
This function is called during the second phase of the layout process, if
the widget has no layout. The margin-box size allocated to the widget has
been set in (w->w) and (w->h); the widget must now position its contents and
children. If the widget has a layout, the layout's specialized function is
called instead of this one. */
typedef void jwidget_poly_layout_t(void *w);
/* jwidget_poly_render_t: Render a widget
This function is called during rendering after the widget's geometry is
drawn. (x,y) are the coordinates of the content box. This function must
render widget-specific visuals; there is no clipping, so the widget should
honor its width and height.
This function should call jwidget_render() for all children that need to be
rendered. jwidget_render() handles the geometry and takes as parameters the
coordinates of the margin box, so it can be called as:
jwidget_render(child, x + child->x, y + child->y).
It will draw the geometry and call the polymorphic renderer of the child at
its content-box coordinates. Normally you can ignore geometry altogether. */
typedef void jwidget_poly_render_t(void *w, int x, int y);
/* jwidget_poly_event_t: Handle an event
This function is called when an event is targeted at a widget, including for
key events. This function is somewhat of a catch-all function for dynamic
occurrences. The widget should either accept the event, do something with
it, and return true, or refuse the event, do nothing and return false. This
is influences events that propagate, such as key events. */

/* jwidget_poly_destroy_t: Destroy a widget's specific resources
This function must destroy the widget-specific resources. It is called by
jwidget_destroy(), which follows it by freeing the widget's standard data
and destroying the children. This function can be NULL if there are no
widget-specific resources to free. */

/* j_register_widget(): Register a new widget type
This function returns a new widget type ID to pass to jwidget_init() when
creating widgets of the custom type. Returns -1 if registration fails. The
polymorphic structure must outlive all widgets of the custom type.
If (inherits) is non-NULL, the new type will inherit from the widget type
with the provided name. All NULL functions in (poly) will be replaced by the
parent type's functions. This mechanism only works if widgets are declared
in inheritance order, which is normally enforced by constructor priority. */

/* j_register_event(): Register a new event type
This function returns a new ID to set in the (type) field of jevent objects.
The ID is unique, and can be trusted to be always valid (unless you register
more than 64k events in which case you asked for the trouble). */

/* jwidget_init(): Initialize a widget
This function should be called in the constructor for the subclassed widget
type, preferably as soon as possible. It initializes common widget
attributes, sets the widget type, and declares the parent.
A subclassed widget type must have a jwidget as a first member (so that the
address of any instance of the subclassed widget is a valid pointer to
jwidget), and that jwidget must be initialized with jwidget_init().
@w Widget to initialize
@type Type ID, as returned by j_register_widget()
@parent Parent, same as in jwidget_create() */

/* jwidget_msize(): Compute and apply the natural size of a widget's margin-box
This function computes the widget's natural margin-box size. It determines
the natural content size with the csize() function of either the layout or
the widget type, then adds the geometry.
The margin-box size is stored in the (w) and (h) attributes of the widget.
This function should only be called during the first phase of the layout,
to implement subclassed csize() functions. Usually, the parent will
implement a customn csize() function by combining the position and msize()
of its children. */

/* jwidget_emit(): Emit an upwards event from this widget
This function walks up the tree until it finds a jscene that can store the
event. If there is no jscene in the tree, the event is ignored. The (source)
field can be omitted and will be set to the widget's address by default. */

/* jwidget_event(): Send a downwards event to a widget
This function calls the polymorphic event function of the targeted widget to
