/**
 * This event is sent to implementers of
 * {@link org.eclipse.jface.text.ITextListener}. It represents a change applied
 * to text viewer. The change is specified as a replace command using offset,
 * length, inserted text, and replaced text. The text viewer issues a text event
 * after the viewer has been changed either in response to a change of the
 * viewer's document or when the viewer's visual content has been changed. In
 * the first case, the text event also carries the original document event.
 * Depending on the viewer's presentation mode, the text event coordinates are
 * different from the document event's coordinates.
 * <p>
 * An empty text event usually indicates a change of the viewer's redraw state.</p>
 * <p>
 * Clients other than text viewer's don't create instances of this class.</p>
