List of all members.

Detailed Description

A Pango::Layout represents an 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.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

virtual Pango::Layout::~Layout (  )  [virtual]

Pango::Layout::Layout ( const Glib::RefPtr<Context>&  context  )  [explicit, protected]


Member Function Documentation

void Pango::Layout::add_to_cairo_context ( const Cairo::RefPtr< Cairo::Context > &  context  ) 

Adds the text in this LayoutLine to the current path in the specified Cairo context.

The origin of the glyphs (the left edge of the line) will be at the current point of the cairo context.

Parameters:
context A Cairo context.

void Pango::Layout::context_changed (  ) 

Forces recomputation of any state in the Pango::Layout that might depend on the layout's context.

This function should be called if you make changes to the context subsequent to creating the layout.

Glib::RefPtr<Layout> Pango::Layout::copy (  ) 

Does a deep copy-by-value of the src layout.

The attribute list, tab array, and text from the original layout are all copied by value.

Returns:
A new Pango::Layout identical to src .

static Glib::RefPtr<Layout> Pango::Layout::create ( const Cairo::RefPtr< Cairo::Context > &  context  )  [static]

Creates a layout object set up to match the current transformation and target surface of the Cairo context.

This layout can then be used for text measurement with functions like get_size() or drawing with methods like show_in_cairo_contet(). If you change the transformation or target surface for context, you need to call update_from_cairo_context()

This is the most convenient way to use Cairo with Pango. However it is slightly inefficient since it creates a separate Pango Context object for each layout. This might matter in an application that is laying out large amounts of text.

Parameters:
context A Cairo context.
Returns:
The newly created Pango Layout.

static Glib::RefPtr<Layout> Pango::Layout::create ( const Glib::RefPtr<Context>&  context  )  [static]

Glib::RefPtr<Context> Pango::Layout::get_context (  )  const

Retrieves the Pango::Context used for this layout.

Returns:
The Pango::Context for the layout. This does not have an additional refcount added, so if you want to keep a copy of this around, you must reference it yourself.

void Pango::Layout::get_cursor_pos ( int  index,
Rectangle strong_pos,
Rectangle weak_pos 
) const

Given an index within a layout, determines the positions that of the strong and weak cursors if the insertion point is at that index.

The position of each cursor is stored as a zero-width rectangle.

void Pango::Layout::index_to_line_x ( int  index_,
bool  trailing,
int &  line,

) const

Converts from byte index within the layout to line and X position.

(X position is measured from the left edge of the line)

Parameters:
index The byte index of a grapheme within the layout.
trailing An integer indicating the edge of the grapheme to retrieve the position of. If 0, the trailing edge of the grapheme, if > 0, the leading of the grapheme.
line Location to store resulting line index. (which will between 0 and pango_layout_get_line_count(layout) - 1).
x_pos Location to store resulting position within line (in thousandths of a device unit).

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_auto_dir ( bool  auto_dir = true  ) 

Sets whether to calculate the bidirectional base direction for the layout according to the contents of the layout; when this flag is on (the default), then paragraphs in layout that begin with strong right-to-left characters (Arabic and Hebrew principally), will have right-to-left layout, paragraphs with letters from other scripts will have left-to-right layout.

Paragraphs with only neutral characters get their direction from the surrounding paragraphs.

When false, the choice between left-to-right and right-to-left layout is done by according to the base direction of the layout's Pango::Context. (See pango_context_set_base_dir()).

When the auto-computed direction or a paragraph differs from the base direction of the context, then the interpretation of Pango::ALIGN_LEFT and Pango::ALIGN_RIGHT are swapped.

Parameters:
auto_dir If true, compute the bidirectional base direction from the layout's contents.

void Pango::Layout::set_ellipsize ( EllipsizeMode  ellipsize  ) 

Sets the type of ellipsization being performed for layout .

Depending on the ellipsization mode ellipsize text is removed from the start, middle, or end of lines so they fit within the width of layout set with pango_layout_set_width().

If the layout contains characters such as newlines that force it to be layed out in multiple lines, then each line is ellipsized separately.

Since: 1.6

Parameters:
ellipsize The new ellipsization mode for layout .

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.

void Pango::Layout::set_indent ( int  indent  ) 

Sets the width in pango units to indent each paragraph.

A negative value of indent will produce a hanging indent. That is, the first line will have the full width, and subsequent lines will be indented by the absolute value of indent .

Parameters:
indent The amount by which to indentset.

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.

Note that as of Pango-1.4, this functionality is not yet implemented.

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.

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 mode; the wrap mode 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:
