;;; center-content.el --- Center buffer content horizontally and vertically -*- lexical-binding: t; -*-

;;; Commentary:

;; This package provides a minor mode `center-content-mode` that centers the content
;; of the current buffer both horizontally and vertically. It calculates the necessary
;; margins and applies them using overlays. The mode line is hidden to provide a clean appearance.

;;; Code:

(defvar-local center-content--horizontal-overlay nil
  "Overlay used to add left margin for horizontal centering.")

(defvar-local center-content--vertical-overlay nil
  "Overlay used to add top margin for vertical centering.")

(defvar-local center-content--original-mode-line-format nil
  "Stores the original `mode-line-format` to restore upon disabling.")

(defun center-content--calculate-left-margin ()
  "Calculate the left margin needed to center the content horizontally."
  (let* ((window (selected-window))
         (window-width (window-pixel-width window))

                              window
                              (window-start window)
                              (window-end window)))))
    (/ (max 0 (- window-width content-width)) 2)))

(defun center-content--calculate-top-margin ()
  "Calculate the top margin needed to center the content vertically."
  (let* ((window (selected-window))
         (window-height (window-pixel-height window))
         (content-height (cdr (window-text-pixel-size window)))
         (margin (/ (max 0 (- window-height content-height)) 2)))
