```
public abstract class TextArea
extends javax.swing.JPanel
```
Abstract TextArea component. The concrete instance used by jEdit itself is called the JEditTextArea. This class uses a minimal set of jEdit APIs because it is the base class of the JEditEmbeddedTextArea and StandaloneTextArea, so it needs to be embeddable and separable.

```
    Returns the selection containing the specific offset, or null if there is no selection at that offset.
    
    Parameters:
    
    offset - The offset
    
    Since:
    
    jEdit 3.2pre1
  - removeFromSelection
```
public void removeFromSelection(Selection sel)

```
    Resizes the selection at the specified offset, or creates a new one if there is no selection at the specified offset. This is a utility method that is mainly useful in the mouse event handler because it handles the case of end being before offset gracefully (unlike the rest of the selection API).
    
    Parameters:
    
    offset - The offset
    
    end - The new selection end
    
    extraEndVirt - Only for rectangular selections - specifies how far it extends into virtual space.

    Parameters:
    
    offset - The offset
    
    end - The new selection end
    
    Since:

                            int extraEndVirt)
```
    Extends the selection at the specified offset, or creates a new one if there is no selection at the specified offset. This is different from resizing in that the new chunk is added to the selection in question, instead of replacing it.

    offset - The offset
    
    end - The new selection end
    
    extraStartVirt - Extra virtual space at the start
