      Converts the given place in the view coordinate system to the nearest representative location in the model.
      Parameters:
        `pt` - the location in the view to translate. This should be in the same coordinate system as the mouse events.
      Returns:
        the offset from the start of the document >= 0

    - #### viewToModel

          public abstract int viewToModel(JTextComponent t,
                                          Point pt,
                                          Position.Bias[] biasReturn)

      Provides a mapping from the view coordinate space to the logical coordinate space of the model.
      Parameters:
        `pt` - the location in the view to translate. This should be in the same coordinate system as the mouse events.
        `biasReturn` - filled in by this method to indicate whether the point given is closer to the previous or the next character in the model
      Returns:
        the location within the model that best represents the given point in the view >= 0

    - #### getNextVisualPositionFrom

          public abstract int getNextVisualPositionFrom(JTextComponent t,
                                                        int pos,

                                                        int direction,
                                                        Position.Bias[] biasRet)
                                                 throws BadLocationException

      Provides a way to determine the next visually represented model location that one might place a caret. Some views may not be visible, they might not be in the same order found in the model, or they just might not allow access to some of the locations in the model.
      Parameters:
        `t` - the text component for which this UI is installed
        `pos` - the position to convert >= 0
        `b` - the bias for the position
        `direction` - the direction from the current position that can be thought of as the arrow keys typically found on a keyboard. This may be SwingConstants.WEST, SwingConstants.EAST, SwingConstants.NORTH, or SwingConstants.SOUTH
        `biasRet` - an array to contain the bias for the returned position
      Returns:
        the location within the model that best represents the next location visual position
      Throws:
        `BadLocationException`
        `IllegalArgumentException` - for an invalid direction

        the editor kit binding

    - #### getRootView

          public abstract View getRootView(JTextComponent t)

      Fetches a View with the allocation of the associated text component (i.e. the root of the hierarchy) that can be traversed to determine how the model is being represented spatially.
      Returns:
        the view

    - #### getToolTipText

          public String getToolTipText(JTextComponent t,
                                       Point pt)
