Glib::RefPtr<Pango::Layout> wrap (PangoLayout* object, bool take_copy=false)

Detailed Description

A Pango::Layout represents and entire paragraph of text.

It is initialized with a Pango::Context, UTF-8 string and set of attributes for that string. Once that is done, the set of formatted lines can be extracted from the object, the layout can be rendered, and conversion between logical character positions within the layout's text, and the physical position of the resulting glyphs can be made.

PangoLayout* Pango::Layout::gobj_copy (  
 

Rectangle Pango::Layout::index_to_pos ( int    index const
 

Convert from an index within the layout to the onscreen position corresponding to the grapheme at that index, which is represented as rectangle.

Note that x in the returned rectangle is always the leading edge of the grapheme and x + width the trailing edge of the grapheme. If the directionality of the grapheme is right-to-left, then width will be negative.

Parameters:
index Byte index within layout.
Returns:
The position of the grapheme.

void Pango::Layout::move_cursor_visually ( bool    strong,
int    old_index,
int    old_trailing,
int    direction,
int&    new_index,
int&    new_trailing
const
 

Computes a new cursor position from an old position and a count of positions to move visually.

If count is positive, then the new strong cursor position will be one position to the right of the old cursor position. If count is position then the new strong cursor position will be one position to the left of the old cursor position.

In the presence of bidirection text, the correspondence between logical and visual order will depend on the direction of the current run, and there may be jumps when the cursor is moved off of the end of a run.

Motion here is in cursor positions, not in characters, so a single call to pango_layout_move_cursor_visually() may move the cursor over multiple characters when multiple characters combine to form a single grapheme.

Parameters:
strong Whether the moving cursor is the strong cursor or the weak cursor. The strong cursor is the cursor corresponding to text insertion in the base direction for the layout.
old_index The byte index of the grapheme for the old index.
old_trailing If 0, the cursor was at the trailing edge of the grapheme indicated by old_index , if > 0, the cursor was at the leading edge.
direction Direction to move cursor. A negative value indicates motion to the left.
new_index Location to store the new cursor byte index. A value of -1 indicates that the cursor has been moved off the beginning of the layout. A value of G_MAXINT indicates that the cursor has been moved off the end of the layout.
new_trailing Number of characters to move forward from the location returned for new_index to get the position where the cursor should be displayed. This allows distinguishing the position at the beginning of one line from the position at the end of the preceding line. new_index is always on the line where the cursor should be displayed.

void Pango::Layout::set_alignment ( Alignment    alignment
 

Sets the alignment for the layout (how partial lines are positioned within the horizontal space available.).

Parameters:
alignment The new alignment.

void Pango::Layout::set_attributes ( AttrList   attrs
 

Sets the text attributes for a layout object.

Parameters:
attrs A Pango::AttrList.

void Pango::Layout::set_font_description ( const FontDescription   desc
 

Set the default font description for the layout.

If no font description is set on the layout, the font description from the layout's context is used.

Parameters:
desc The new pango font description, or 0 to unset the current font description.

void Pango::Layout::set_indent ( int    indent
 

Sets the amount by which the first line should be shorter than the rest of the lines.

This may be negative, in which case the subsequent lines will be shorter than the first line. (However, in either case, the entire width of the layout will be given by the value

Parameters:
indent The amount by which to indent.

void Pango::Layout::set_justify ( bool    justify = true
 

Sets whether or not each complete line should be stretched to fill the entire width of the layout.

This stretching is typically done by adding whitespace, but for some scripts (such as Arabic), the justification is done by extending the characters.

Parameters:
justify Whether the lines in the layout should be justified.

void Pango::Layout::set_markup ( const Glib::ustring   markup,
gunichar    accel_marker,
gunichar&    accel_char
 

Sets the layout text and attribute list from marked-up text (see markup format).

Replaces the current text and attribute list.

If accel_marker is nonzero, the given character will mark the character following it as an accelerator. For example, the accel marker might be an ampersand or underscore. All characters marked as an accelerator will receive a Pango::UNDERLINE_LOW attribute, and the first character so marked will be returned in accel_char. Two accel_marker characters following each other produce a single literal accel_marker character.

Parameters:
markup Some marked-up text.
accel_marker Marker for accelerators in the text.
accel_char Return location for any located accelerators.

void Pango::Layout::set_markup ( const Glib::ustring   markup
 

Sets the layout text and attribute list from marked-up text (see markup format).

Replaces the current text and attribute list.

Parameters:
markup Some marked-up text.

void Pango::Layout::set_single_paragraph_mode ( bool    setting = true
 

If setting is true, do not treat newlines and similar characters as paragraph separators; instead, keep all text in a single paragraph, and display a glyph for paragraph separator characters.

Used when you want to allow editing of newlines on a single text line.

Parameters:
setting New setting.

void Pango::Layout::set_spacing ( int    spacing
 

Sets the amount of spacing between the lines of the layout.

Parameters:
spacing The amount of spacing.

void Pango::Layout::set_tabs ( TabArray   tabs
 

Sets the tabs to use for layout , overriding the default tabs (by default, tabs are every 8 spaces).

If tabs is 0, the default tabs are reinstated. tabs is copied into the layout; you must free your copy of tabs yourself.

Parameters:
tabs A Pango::TabArray.

void Pango::Layout::set_text ( const Glib::ustring   text
 

Set the text of the layout.

Parameters:
text The text for the layout.

void Pango::Layout::set_width ( int    width
 

Sets the width to which the lines of the Pango::Layout should be wrapped.

Parameters:
width The desired width, or -1 to indicate that no wrapping should be performed.

void Pango::Layout::set_wrap ( WrapMode    wrap
 

Sets the wrap style; the wrap style only has an effect if a width is set on the layout with pango_layout_set_width().

To turn off wrapping, set the width to -1.

Parameters:
wrap Wrap mode.

bool Pango::Layout::xy_to_index ( int    x,
int    y,
int&    index,
int&    trailing
const
 

Convert from X and Y position within a layout to the byte index to the character at that logical position.

If the position is not inside the layout, the closest position is chosen (the x/y position will be clamped inside the layout). If a closest position is chosen, then the function returns false; on an exact hit, it returns true.

Parameters:
x The X offset (in thousandths of a device unit) from the left edge of the layout.
y The Y offset (in thousandths of a device unit) from the top edge of the layout.
index_ Location to store calculated byte index.
trailing Location to store a integer indicating where in the grapheme the user clicked. It will either be zero, or the number of characters in the grapheme. 0 represents the trailing edge of the grapheme.
Returns:
true if the coordinates were inside text.
