%D   {charwidthmethod}
%D
%D This module implements a method for determining the width of an
%D average character in a language. It uses the dimensions of the
%D current fonts.

%D Method~1 ignores the widths and assumes that each character has a
%D width of .5em, which is true for most monospaced fonts. Method~2
%D takes the x as starting point, and assumes that it's height kind of
%D matches its width. Method~3 is the best one, and determines the
%D average width based on the language specific character table.
%D Method~4 is a mixture between the first two methods: character
%D specific widths applied to an equal distribution. Method~0 reports
%D the total count, which normally is~100.

%D \macros
%D  {charwidthlanguage}
%D
%D The language used for the calculations is defined as:

\def\charwidthlanguage{\currentmainlanguage}

%D \macros
%D   {charfreq}
%D
%D This method comes into action in the following macro:

\def\charfreq#1 #2 % character fraction
  {+(\ifcase\charwidthmethod
     #2\dimexpr100\onepoint\relax
   \or
     #2\dimexpr\emwidth/2\relax
   \or
     #2\dimexpr\exheight\relax
   \or
     #2\fontcharwd\font`#1%
   \or
     \dimexpr100\fontcharwd\font`#1/\charactertsize\charwidthlanguage\relax % ugly hack
   \else
     #2\dimexpr\exheight\relax
   \fi)}

%D \macros
%D   {startcharactertable}
%D
%D A frequency table is defined with the following macro. The \type
%D {charfreq} macro is used in this table.

\installcorenamespace{frequencywidths}
\installcorenamespace{frequencycounts}

\let\stopcharactertable\relax

\unexpanded\def\startcharactertable[#1]#2\stopcharactertable % \dimexpr has fuzzy lookahead
  {\startnointerference
     \setgvalue{\??frequencywidths#1}{#2}% the width vector
     \scratchcounter\zerocount \def\charfreq##1 ##2 {\advance\scratchcounter\plusone} #2%
     \setxvalue{\??frequencycounts#1}{\the\scratchcounter}% the character count
   \stopnointerference}

%D \macros
%D   {charactertable,charactertsize}
%D
%D The table content as well as the number of entries can be fetched with
%D the following two macros. The architecture of the table and calling
%D macro permits a fully expandable application.

\def\charactertable#1%
  {\csname\??frequencywidths\ifcsname\??frequencywidths#1\endcsname#1\else\s!en\fi\endcsname}

\def\charactertsize#1%
  {\csname\??frequencycounts\ifcsname\??frequencycounts#1\endcsname#1\else\s!en\fi\endcsname}

%D Although it is of hardly any use, you can inherit a character table:
%D
%D \starttyping
%D \startcharactertable[cz] \charactertable{en} \stopcharactertable
%D \stoptyping

\startcharactertable[en]
    % empty
\stopcharactertable % kind of default

%D \macros
%D   {averagecharwidth}
%D
%D This macro reports the average width for the current main
%D language (\the \dimexpr (\averagecharwidth)).

\def\averagecharwidth{\dimexpr(\zeropoint\charactertable\charwidthlanguage)/100\relax}

\unexpanded\def\showcharfreq
  {\hbox\bgroup
     \charwidthlanguage:%
     \dostepwiserecurse\zerocount\plusfour\plusone
       {\chardef\charwidthmethod\recurselevel\relax
        \enspace\recurselevel/\the\dimexpr(\averagecharwidth)}%
   \egroup}

%D Just for fun, we show a few frequency tables as graphic (\in {figure}
%D [fig:charfreq]).

%D Although the widthts differ, the consequenes for breaking the paragraph
%D into lines are minimal.

%D \macros
%D   {freezeaveragecharacterwidth}
%D
%D This macro can be used to make sure that the width does not change during a
%D page break when another font is used.
