Java
Rope<Character, CharSeqSliceable> rope = new BasicMutableRope<>();
// create a new empty Rope.
rope.append(new CharSeqSliceable("this is a rope element.\n"));
rope.append(new CharSeqSliceable("this is another rope element."));
// `rope` now contains "this is a rope element.\nthis is another rope element."
List<Character, CharSeqSliceable>> parts = rope.split(15);
// parts.get(0) now contains a Rope containing "this is a rope "
// parts.get(1) now contains a Rope containing " element.\nthis is another rope element."
Rope<Character, CharSeqSliceable> another = rope.insert(new CharSeqSliceable("\r"), 24);
// `another now contains "this is a rope element.\r\nthis is another rope element."
Extending
Implement the Sliceable interface for your array/list-like data structure.
public class MySliceable implements Sliceable<ElementType, MySliceable> { ... }
Create a Rope using it:
Rope<ElementType, MySliceable> rope = new BasicMutableRope<>();
