## Class TextArea

- java.lang.Object
- - java.awt.Component
  - - java.awt.Container
    - - javax.swing.JComponent
      - - org.gjt.sp.jedit.textarea.TextArea

- All Implemented Interfaces:
    java.awt.image.ImageObserver, java.awt.MenuContainer, java.io.Serializable
  Direct Known Subclasses:
    JEditEmbeddedTextArea, JEditTextArea, StandaloneTextArea

      public abstract class TextArea
      extends javax.swing.JComponent

  Abstract TextArea component. The concrete instance used by jEdit itself is called the JEditTextArea. This class uses a minimal set of jEdit APIs because it is the base class of the JEditEmbeddedTextArea and StandaloneTextArea, so it needs to be embeddable and separable.
