java.lang.Object
- javax.swing.text.StringContent

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, AbstractDocument.Content
```
public final class StringContent
extends Object
implements AbstractDocument.Content, Serializable
```
An implementation of the AbstractDocument.Content interface that is a brute force implementation that is useful for relatively small documents and/or debugging. It manages the character content as a simple character array. It is also quite inefficient.
It is generally recommended that the gap buffer or piece table implementations be used instead. This buffer does not scale up to large sizes.
Warning: Serialized objects of this class will not be compatible with future Swing releases. The current serialization support is appropriate for short term storage or RMI between applications running the same version of Swing. As of 1.4, support for long term storage of all JavaBeans^TM has been added to the java.beans package. Please see XMLEncoder.

                         int length)
```
    Returns a Vector containing instances of UndoPosRef for the Positions in the range offset to offset + length. If v is not null the matching Positions are placed in there. The vector with the resulting Positions are returned.
    This is meant for internal usage, and is generally not of interest to subclasses.
    
    Parameters:
    v - the Vector to use, with a new one created on null
    offset - the starting offset >= 0
    length - the length >= 0

  - updateUndoPositions
```
protected void updateUndoPositions(Vector positions)
