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.

Member Function Documentation

◆ add_to_cairo_context()

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
contextA Cairo context.

◆ context_changed()

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.

◆ copy()

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

Creates a deep copy-by-value of the layout.

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

Returns
The newly allocated Pango::Layout.

◆ create() [1/2]

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
contextA Cairo context.
Returns
The newly created Pango Layout.

◆ create() [2/2]

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

Returns
The alignment.

◆ get_attributes()

AttrList Pango::Layout::get_attributes ( ) const

Gets the attribute list for the layout, if any.

Returns
A Pango::AttrList.

◆ get_auto_dir()

bool Pango::Layout::get_auto_dir ( ) const

Gets whether to calculate the base direction for the layout according to its contents.

See set_auto_dir().

Returns
true if the bidirectional base direction is computed from the layout's contents, false otherwise.

◆ get_baseline()

int Pango::Layout::get_baseline ( ) const

Gets the Y position of baseline of the first line in layout.

Since pangomm 1.22:
Returns
Baseline of first line, from top of layout.

◆ get_caret_pos()

void Pango::Layout::get_caret_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.

This is a variant of get_cursor_pos() that applies font metric information about caret slope and offset to the positions it returns.

<picture> <source srcset="caret-metrics-dark.png" media="(prefers-color-scheme: dark)"> Caret metrics </picture>

Since pangomm 2.54:
Parameters

◆ get_const_line()

Glib::RefPtr< const LayoutLine > Pango::Layout::get_const_line ( int  line) const

Retrieves a particular line from a Pango::Layout.

This is a faster alternative to get_line(), but the user is not expected to modify the contents of the line (glyphs, glyph widths, etc.).

Since pangomm 2.50:
Parameters
lineThe index of a line, which must be between 0 and get_line_count() - 1, inclusive.
Returns
The requested Pango::LayoutLine, or an empty RefPtr if the index is out of range. This layout line will become invalid if changes are made to the Pango::Layout. No changes should be made to the line.

◆ get_const_lines()

std::vector< Glib::RefPtr< const LayoutLine > > Pango::Layout::get_const_lines ( ) const

Returns the lines of the layout as a vector.

This is a faster alternative to get_lines(), but the user is not expected to modify the contents of the lines (glyphs, glyph widths, etc.).

Since pangomm 2.50:
Returns
A std::vector containing the lines in the layout. This points to internal data of the Pango::Layout and must be used with care. It will become invalid on any change to the layout's text or properties. No changes should be made to the lines.

◆ get_context()

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

Retrieves the Pango::Context used for this layout.

Returns

◆ get_cursor_pos()

void Pango::Layout::get_cursor_pos ( int  index,
Rectangle strong_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 with the height of the run extents.

<picture> <source srcset="cursor-positions-dark.png" media="(prefers-color-scheme: dark)"> Cursor positions </picture>

The strong cursor location is the location where characters of the directionality equal to the base direction of the layout are inserted. The weak cursor location is the location where characters of the directionality opposite to the base direction of the layout are inserted.

The following example shows text with both a strong and a weak cursor.

<picture> <source srcset="split-cursor-dark.png" media="(prefers-color-scheme: dark)"> Strong and weak cursors </picture>

The strong cursor has a little arrow pointing to the right, the weak cursor to the left. Typing a 'c' in this situation will insert the character after the 'b', and typing another Hebrew character, like '×’', will insert it at the end.

Parameters
indexThe byte index of the cursor.
strong_posLocation to store the strong cursor position.
weak_posLocation to store the weak cursor position.

◆ get_cursor_strong_pos()

Rectangle Pango::Layout::get_cursor_strong_pos ( int  index) const

Returns the current serial number of layout.

The serial number is initialized to an small number larger than zero when a new layout is created and is increased whenever the layout is changed using any of the setter functions, or the Pango::Context it uses has changed. The serial may wrap, but will never have the value 0. Since it can wrap, never compare it with "less than", always use "not equals".

This can be used to automatically detect changes to a Pango::Layout, and is useful for example to decide whether a layout needs redrawing. To force the serial to be increased, use context_changed().

This returns true if the ellipsization mode for layout is not Pango::EllipsizeMode::NONE, a positive width is set on layout, and there are paragraphs exceeding that width that have to be ellipsized.

Since pangomm 1.16:
Returns
true if any paragraphs had to be ellipsized, false otherwise.

◆ is_wrapped()

bool Pango::Layout::is_wrapped ( ) const

Queries whether the layout had to wrap any paragraphs.

This returns true if a positive width is set on layout, ellipsization mode of layout is set to Pango::EllipsizeMode::NONE, and there are paragraphs exceeding the layout width that have to be wrapped.

Since pangomm 1.16:
Returns
true if any paragraphs had to be wrapped, false otherwise.

◆ move_cursor_visually()

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 direction.

If direction is positive, then the new position will cause the strong or weak cursor to be displayed one position to right of where it was with the old cursor position. If direction is negative, it will be moved to the left.

In the presence of bidirectional 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 this function may move the cursor over multiple characters when multiple characters combine to form a single grapheme.

Parameters
strongWhether 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_indexThe byte index of the current cursor position.
old_trailingIf 0, the cursor was at the leading edge of the grapheme indicated by old_index, if > 0, the cursor was at the trailing edge.
directionDirection to move cursor. A negative value indicates motion to the left.
new_indexLocation 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_trailingNumber 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.

◆ operator=()

Layout & Pango::Layout::operator= ( Layout &&  src)
noexcept

◆ set_alignment()

void Pango::Layout::set_alignment ( Alignment  alignment)

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

The default alignment is Pango::Alignment::LEFT.

Parameters
alignmentThe alignment.

◆ set_attributes()

void Pango::Layout::set_attributes ( AttrList attrs)

Sets the text attributes for a layout object.

References attrs, so the caller can unref its reference.

Parameters
attrsA Pango::AttrList.

◆ set_auto_dir()

void Pango::Layout::set_auto_dir ( bool  auto_dir = true)

Sets whether to calculate the base direction for the layout according to its contents.

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 according to the base direction of the layout's Pango::Context. (See Pango::Context::set_base_dir()).

When the auto-computed direction of a paragraph differs from the base direction of the context, the interpretation of Pango::Alignment::LEFT and Pango::Alignment::RIGHT are swapped.

Since pangomm 1.4:
Parameters
auto_dirIf true, compute the bidirectional base direction from the layout's contents.

◆ set_ellipsize()

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 text so they fit within the width and height of layout set with set_width() and set_height().

If the layout contains characters such as newlines that force it to be layed out in multiple paragraphs, then whether each paragraph is ellipsized separately or the entire layout is ellipsized as a whole depends on the set height of the layout.

The default value is Pango::EllipsizeMode::NONE.

See set_height() for details.

Since pangomm 1.6:
Parameters
ellipsizeThe new ellipsization mode for layout.

◆ set_font_description()

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
descThe new pango font description.

◆ set_height()

void Pango::Layout::set_height ( int  height)

Sets the height to which the Pango::Layout should be ellipsized at.

There are two different behaviors, based on whether height is positive or negative.

If height is positive, it will be the maximum height of the layout. Only lines would be shown that would fit, and if there is any text omitted, an ellipsis added. At least one line is included in each paragraph regardless of how small the height value is. A value of zero will render exactly one line for the entire layout.

If height is negative, it will be the (negative of) maximum number of lines per paragraph. That is, the total number of lines shown may well be more than this value if the layout contains multiple paragraphs of text. The default value of -1 means that the first line of each paragraph is ellipsized. This behavior may be changed in the future to act per layout instead of per paragraph. File a bug against pango at https://gitlab.gnome.org/gnome/pango if your code relies on this behavior.

Height setting only has effect if a positive width is set on layout and ellipsization mode of layout is not Pango::EllipsizeMode::NONE. The behavior is undefined if a height other than -1 is set and ellipsization mode is set to Pango::EllipsizeMode::NONE, and may change in the future.

Since pangomm 1.20:
Parameters
heightThe desired height of the layout in Pango units if positive, or desired number of lines if negative.

◆ set_indent()

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 indentation. That is, the first line will have the full width, and subsequent lines will be indented by the absolute value of indent.

The indent setting is ignored if layout alignment is set to Pango::Alignment::CENTER.

The default value is 0.

Parameters
indentThe amount by which to indent.

◆ set_justify()

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

Sets whether each complete line should be stretched to fill the entire width of the layout.

Stretching is typically done by adding whitespace, but for some scripts (such as Arabic), the justification may be done in more complex ways, like extending the characters.

Note that this setting is not implemented and so is ignored in Pango older than 1.18.

Note that tabs and justification conflict with each other: Justification will move content away from its tab-aligned positions.

The default value is false.

Also see set_justify_last_line().

Parameters
justifyWhether the lines in the layout should be justified.

◆ set_justify_last_line()

void Pango::Layout::set_justify_last_line ( bool  justify = true)

Sets whether the last line should be stretched to fill the entire width of the layout.

This only has an effect if set_justify() has been called as well.

The default value is false.

Since pangomm 2.54:
Parameters
justifyWhether the last line in the layout should be justified.

◆ set_line_spacing()

void Pango::Layout::set_line_spacing ( float  factor)

Sets a factor for line spacing.

Typical values are: 0, 1, 1.5, 2. The default values is 0.

If factor is non-zero, lines are placed so that

baseline2 = baseline1 + factor * height2

where height2 is the line height of the second line (as determined by the font(s)). In this case, the spacing set with set_spacing() is ignored.

If factor is zero (the default), spacing is applied as before.

Note
for semantics that are closer to the CSS line-height property, see pango_attr_line_height_new().
Since pangomm 1.44:
Parameters
factorThe new line spacing factor.

◆ set_markup() [1/2]

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
markupSome marked-up text.

◆ set_markup() [2/2]

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
markupSome marked-up text.
accel_markerMarker for accelerators in the text.
accel_charReturn location for any located accelerators.

◆ set_single_paragraph_mode()

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

Sets the single paragraph mode of layout.

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.

The default value is false.

Parameters
settingNew setting.

◆ set_spacing()

void Pango::Layout::set_spacing ( int  spacing)

Sets the amount of spacing in Pango units between the lines of the layout.

When placing lines with spacing, Pango arranges things so that

line2.top = line1.bottom + spacing

The default value is 0.

Note
Since 1.44, Pango is using the line height (as determined by the font) for placing lines when the line spacing factor is set to a non-zero value with set_line_spacing(). In that case, the spacing set with this function is ignored.
for semantics that are closer to the CSS line-height property, see pango_attr_line_height_new().
Parameters
spacingThe amount of spacing.

◆ set_tabs()

void Pango::Layout::set_tabs ( TabArray tabs)

Sets the tabs to use for layout, overriding the default tabs.

Pango::Layout will place content at the next tab position whenever it meets a Tab character (U+0009).

By default, tabs are every 8 spaces. If tabs is nullptr, the default tabs are reinstated. tabs is copied into the layout; you must free your copy of tabs yourself.

Note that tabs and justification conflict with each other: Justification will move content away from its tab-aligned positions. The same is true for alignments other than Pango::Alignment::LEFT.

Parameters
tabsA Pango::TabArray.

◆ set_text()

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

Set the text of the layout.

Parameters
textThe text for the layout.

◆ set_width()

void Pango::Layout::set_width ( int  width)

Sets the width to which the lines of the Pango::Layout should wrap or ellipsized.

The default value is -1: no width set.

Parameters
widthThe desired width in Pango units, or -1 to indicate that no wrapping or ellipsization should be performed.

◆ set_wrap()

void Pango::Layout::set_wrap ( WrapMode  wrap)

Sets the wrap mode.

The wrap mode only has effect if a width is set on the layout with set_width(). To turn off wrapping, set the width to -1.

The default value is Pango::WrapMode::WORD.

Parameters
wrapThe wrap mode.

◆ show_in_cairo_context()

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

Draws a Layout in the specified Cairo context.

The top-left corner of the Layout will be drawn at the current point of the cairo context.

Parameters
contextA Cairo context.
Since pangomm 2.16:

◆ unset_font_description()

void Pango::Layout::unset_font_description ( )

◆ update_from_cairo_context()

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

Updates the private Pango Context of a Pango Layout created with create(const Cairo::RefPtr<Cairo::Context>&) to match the current transformation and target surface of a Cairo Context.

Parameters
contextA Cairo context.

◆ xy_to_index()

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

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

If the Y position is not inside the layout, the closest position is chosen (the position will be clamped inside the layout). If the X position is not within the layout, then the start or the end of the line is chosen as described for Pango::LayoutLine::x_to_index(). If either the X or Y positions were not inside the layout, then the function returns false; on an exact hit, it returns true.

Parameters
xThe X offset (in Pango units) from the left edge of the layout.
yThe Y offset (in Pango units) from the top edge of the layout.
indexLocation to store calculated byte index.
trailingLocation 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 leading edge of the grapheme.
Returns
true if the coordinates were inside text, false otherwise.
