How to highlight lines with color one by one?

While line information (both document and display) is easy to obtain, position data for wrapped lines (e.g. position of where each wrapping occurs) doesn’t seem to be available.

I think it would be a bigger effort than I consider worth it to put in. Unless…someone sees it differently and there is a straightforward way to do it.

I had to deal with a somewhat similar problem (getting the “real” pixel width of text that might be wrapped) here. It’s possible, but messy — SCI_WRAPCOUNT will tell you if a line is wrapped, but then you have to loop through character by character checking SCI_POINTYFROMPOSITION to determine where the wrapping happens.

The original script fires its logic every time the UI is updated (maybe that could be changed to every time the data is modified instead).
When I wrote the original script, I had “performance” concerns for the script, with moderately-sized files and larger.
I have even more concerns about that if the script is changed for the newly requested feature for it (which would incorporate the “looping” @Coises mentioned).
