Re: How to determine what face is associated with a bit of text?

From: skip(a)pobox.com Date: Mon, 7 Apr 2008 08:40:54 -0500 I'm having trouble figuring out what face is used to render a particular bit of text. See the attached PNG. I'm particularly interested in the hard-to-read green text. (This was clipped from an ipython comint buffer.) Given a random bit of text is there some way to determine the face used to render it? Thanks, You can do M-x list-faces-display (or edit-faces), which lists all of the defined faces. Or you can use this: (global-set-key [(control button3)] 'describe-face-at-mouse-point) (defun describe-face-at-mouse-point (event) (interactive "*e") (let ((point (save-excursion (save-window-excursion (mouse-set-point event) (point))))) (describe-face-at-point point))) (defun describe-face-at-point (&optional point) "Return face used at point." (interactive) (let ((face (get-char-property (or point (point)) 'face))) (if (listp face) (progn (message (format "Full value: %s" (prin1-to-string face))) (setq face (car face)))) (hyper-describe-face face))) -jeff _______________________________________________ XEmacs-Beta mailing list XEmacs-Beta(a)xemacs.org http://calypso.tux.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/xemacs-beta
