Recognition
About the Recognition System 9-19
displays a picker from which the user can choose recognition behaviors that you
specify. When this picker is collapsed, the appearance of the button indicates the
current recognition settings for the view or views that it controls. Figure 9-8 shows
the appearance of typical
protoRecToggle view when it is collapsed and when
it is expanded to display the pick list of recognizers it can enable.
Figure 9-8 Use of protoRecToggle view in the Notes application
The default picker provides all of the items shown in Figure 9-8 in the order
illustrated. You can specify that this picker display a subset of these items in the
order you specify.
The topmost item in the picker indicates the recognizer that the recToggle view
enables by default; unless you specify otherwise, the recToggle view enables the
text recognizer by default, as shown in the figure.
You can also provide code that restores the user’s most recent recToggle setting
or initializes the recToggle to a predetermined setting each time your
application opens.
The picker’s Preferences item opens the Handwriting Recognition user preferences
slip by default.
For more information on protoRecToggle views, see Chapter 10, “Recognition:
Advanced Topics,” as well as the description of this prototype in Newton
Programmer’s Reference .
Flag-Naming Conventions 9
This section describes conventions used to name recognition-related view flags, as
well as the significance of the use of the words
Field and Allowed in flag names.
The Entry Flags area of the Newton Toolkit (NTK) view editor actually sets view
flags. The distinction that Newton Toolkit makes between “view flags” and “entry
flags” is an artifact of the way certain views create child views dynamically at
run time.
For example, when the user taps a protoLabelInputLine view, it creates and
opens a clParagraphView child that is the input line view in which text
