presentation flavors
One strategy you could follow is to make my-slot be a presentation
argument of your presentation type(s). These give you a place to store
extra information that is independent of the actual representation of
presentations themselves.
The dw::displayed-presentation representation is specific to
dw:dynamic-window's, per se. The present and
dw:with-output-as-presentation protocol is not. In the 7.2 system,
there are two other implementations of this protocol for editor
intervals and with-output-to-presentation-recording-string. Neither is
based on dw::displayed-presentation. In the MacIvory system, there are
a couple others for use with Macintosh style windows. If one were
implementing Dynamic Windows like capabilities on top of X Windows or MS
Windows / Presentation Manager, there might be more.
Of course it might well be that you are only concerned with the ability
to have these extended presentations in true dynamic-window's. Or it
might be that you wish to shadow the actual implementation of the
presentation protocol. In this case, the basic extension you require is
(defun make-displayed-presentation (&rest options
&key (flavor 'displayed-presentation)
&allow-other-keys)
(apply #'make-instance flavor options))
