Class Layout

All Implemented Interfaces:
PointerInterface

public class Layout extends Object
A `PangoLayout` structure represents an entire paragraph of text.

While complete access to the layout capabilities of Pango is provided
using the detailed interfaces for itemization and shaping, using
that functionality directly involves writing a fairly large amount
of code. `PangoLayout` provides a high-level driver for formatting
entire paragraphs of text at once. This includes paragraph-level
functionality such as line breaking, justification, alignment and
ellipsization.

A `PangoLayout` is initialized with a `PangoContext`, 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.

There are a number of parameters to adjust the formatting of a
`PangoLayout`. The following image shows adjustable parameters
(on the left) and font metrics (on the right):

The following images demonstrate the effect of alignment and
justification on the layout of text:

| | |
| --- | --- |
| ![align=left](align-left.png) | ![align=left, justify](align-left-justify.png) |
| ![align=center](align-center.png) | ![align=center, justify](align-center-justify.png) |
| ![align=right](align-right.png) | ![align=right, justify](align-right-justify.png) |


It is possible, as well, to ignore the 2-D setup,
and simply treat the results of a `PangoLayout` as a list of lines.

  • Constructor Details

    • Layout

      public Layout(PointerContainer pointer)
    • Layout

      public Layout(@Nonnull Context context)
      Create a new `PangoLayout` object with attributes initialized to
      default values for a particular `PangoContext`.
      Parameters:
      context - a `PangoContext`
  • Method Details

    • getClassHandler

      public static ClassHandler getClassHandler()
    • contextChanged

      public void contextChanged()
      Forces recomputation of any state in the `PangoLayout` 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

      public 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 `PangoLayout`
    • getAlignment

      public int getAlignment()
      Gets the alignment for the layout: how partial lines are
      positioned within the horizontal space available.
      Returns:
      the alignment
    • getAttributes

      public AttrList getAttributes()
      Gets the attribute list for the layout, if any.
      Returns:
      a `PangoAttrList`
    • getAutoDir

      public boolean getAutoDir()
      Gets whether to calculate the base direction for the layout
      according to its contents.

      See [method@Pango.Layout.set_auto_dir].
      Returns:
      %TRUE if the bidirectional base direction is computed from the layout's contents, %FALSE otherwise
    • getBaseline

      public int getBaseline()
      Gets the Y position of baseline of the first line in @layout.
      Returns:
      baseline of first line, from top of @layout
    • getCaretPos

      public void getCaretPos(int index_, @Nullable Rectangle strong_pos, @Nullable Rectangle weak_pos)
      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 [method@Pango.Layout.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)">
      <img alt="Caret metrics" src="caret-metrics-light.png">
      </picture>
      Parameters:
      index_ - the byte index of the cursor
      strong_pos - location to store the strong cursor position
      weak_pos - location to store the weak cursor position
    • getCharacterCount

      public int getCharacterCount()
      Returns the number of Unicode characters in the
      the text of @layout.
      Returns:
      the number of Unicode characters in the text of @layout
    • getContext

      public Context getContext()
      Retrieves the `PangoContext` used for this layout.
      Returns:
      the `PangoContext` for the layout
    • getCursorPos

      public void getCursorPos(int index_, @Nullable Rectangle strong_pos, @Nullable Rectangle weak_pos)
      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)">
      <img alt="Cursor positions" src="cursor-positions-light.png">
      </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)">
      <img alt="Strong and weak cursors" src="split-cursor-light.png">
      </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 'ג',
      will insert it at the end.
      Parameters:
      index_ - the byte index of the cursor
      strong_pos - location to store the strong cursor position
      weak_pos - location to store the weak cursor position
    • getDirection

      public int getDirection(int index)
      Gets the text direction at the given character position in @layout.
      Parameters:
      index - the byte index of the char
      Returns:
      the text direction at @index
    • getEllipsize

      public int getEllipsize()
      Gets the type of ellipsization being performed for @layout.

      See [method@Pango.Layout.set_ellipsize].

      Use [method@Pango.Layout.is_ellipsized] to query whether any
      paragraphs were actually ellipsized.
      Returns:
      the current ellipsization mode for @layout
    • getExtents

      public void getExtents(@Nullable Rectangle ink_rect, @Nullable Rectangle logical_rect)
      Computes the logical and ink extents of @layout.

      Logical extents are usually what you want for positioning things. Note
      that both extents may have non-zero x and y. You may want to use those
      to offset where you render the layout. Not doing that is a very typical
      bug that shows up as right-to-left layouts not being correctly positioned
      in a layout with a set width.

      The extents are given in layout coordinates and in Pango units; layout
      coordinates begin at the top left corner of the layout.
      Parameters:
      ink_rect - rectangle used to store the extents of the layout as drawn
      logical_rect - rectangle used to store the logical extents of the layout
    • getFontDescription

      public FontDescription getFontDescription()
      Gets the font description for the layout, if any.
      Returns:
      a pointer to the layout's font description, or %NULL if the font description from the layout's context is inherited.
    • getHeight

      public int getHeight()
      Gets the height of layout used for ellipsization.

      See [method@Pango.Layout.set_height] for details.
      Returns:
      the height, in Pango units if positive, or number of lines if negative.
    • getIndent

      public int getIndent()
      Gets the paragraph indent width in Pango units.

      A negative value indicates a hanging indentation.
      Returns:
      the indent in Pango units
    • getIter

      public LayoutIter getIter()
      Returns an iterator to iterate over the visual extents of the layout.
      Returns:
      the new `PangoLayoutIter`
    • getJustify

      public boolean getJustify()
      Gets whether each complete line should be stretched to fill the entire
      width of the layout.
      Returns:
      the justify value
    • getJustifyLastLine

      public boolean getJustifyLastLine()
      Gets whether the last line should be stretched
      to fill the entire width of the layout.
      Returns:
      the justify value
    • getLine

      public LayoutLine getLine(int line)
      Retrieves a particular line from a `PangoLayout`.

      Use the faster [method@Pango.Layout.get_line_readonly] if you do not
      plan to modify the contents of the line (glyphs, glyph widths, etc.).
      Parameters:
      line - the index of a line, which must be between 0 and `pango_layout_get_line_count(layout) - 1`, inclusive.
      Returns:
      the requested `PangoLayoutLine`, or %NULL if the index is out of range. This layout line can be ref'ed and retained, but will become invalid if changes are made to the `PangoLayout`.
    • getLineCount

      public int getLineCount()
      Retrieves the count of lines for the @layout.
      Returns:
      the line count
    • getLineReadonly

      public LayoutLine getLineReadonly(int line)
      Retrieves a particular line from a `PangoLayout`.

      This is a faster alternative to [method@Pango.Layout.get_line],
      but the user is not expected to modify the contents of the line
      (glyphs, glyph widths, etc.).
      Parameters:
      line - the index of a line, which must be between 0 and `pango_layout_get_line_count(layout) - 1`, inclusive.
      Returns:
      the requested `PangoLayoutLine`, or %NULL if the index is out of range. This layout line can be ref'ed and retained, but will become invalid if changes are made to the `PangoLayout`. No changes should be made to the line.
    • getLineSpacing

      public float getLineSpacing()
      Gets the line spacing factor of @layout.

      See [method@Pango.Layout.set_line_spacing].
      Returns:
    • getLines

      public SList getLines()
      Returns the lines of the @layout as a list.

      Use the faster [method@Pango.Layout.get_lines_readonly] if you do not
      plan to modify the contents of the lines (glyphs, glyph widths, etc.).
      Returns:
      a `GSList` containing the lines in the layout. This points to internal data of the `PangoLayout` and must be used with care. It will become invalid on any change to the layout's text or properties.
    • getLinesReadonly

      public SList getLinesReadonly()
      Returns the lines of the @layout as a list.

      This is a faster alternative to [method@Pango.Layout.get_lines],
      but the user is not expected to modify the contents of the lines
      (glyphs, glyph widths, etc.).
      Returns:
      a `GSList` containing the lines in the layout. This points to internal data of the `PangoLayout` 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.
    • getPixelExtents

      public void getPixelExtents(@Nullable Rectangle ink_rect, @Nullable Rectangle logical_rect)
      Computes the logical and ink extents of @layout in device units.

      This function just calls [method@Pango.Layout.get_extents] followed by
      two [func@extents_to_pixels] calls, rounding @ink_rect and @logical_rect
      such that the rounded rectangles fully contain the unrounded one (that is,
      passes them as first argument to [func@Pango.extents_to_pixels]).
      Parameters:
      ink_rect - rectangle used to store the extents of the layout as drawn
      logical_rect - rectangle used to store the logical extents of the layout
    • getPixelSize

      public void getPixelSize(@Nullable Int width, @Nullable Int height)
      Determines the logical width and height of a `PangoLayout` in device
      units.

      [method@Pango.Layout.get_size] returns the width and height
      scaled by %PANGO_SCALE. This is simply a convenience function
      around [method@Pango.Layout.get_pixel_extents].
      Parameters:
      width - location to store the logical width
      height - location to store the logical height
    • getSerial

      public int getSerial()
      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 `PangoContext` 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 `PangoLayout`,
      and is useful for example to decide whether a layout needs redrawing.
      To force the serial to be increased, use
      [method@Pango.Layout.context_changed].
      Returns:
      The current serial number of @layout.
    • getSingleParagraphMode

      public boolean getSingleParagraphMode()
      Obtains whether @layout is in single paragraph mode.

      See [method@Pango.Layout.set_single_paragraph_mode].
      Returns:
      %TRUE if the layout does not break paragraphs at paragraph separator characters, %FALSE otherwise
    • getSize

      public void getSize(@Nullable Int width, @Nullable Int height)
      Determines the logical width and height of a `PangoLayout` in Pango
      units.

      This is simply a convenience function around [method@Pango.Layout.get_extents].
      Parameters:
      width - location to store the logical width
      height - location to store the logical height
    • getSpacing

      public int getSpacing()
      Gets the amount of spacing between the lines of the layout.
      Returns:
      the spacing in Pango units
    • getTabs

      public TabArray getTabs()
      Gets the current `PangoTabArray` used by this layout.

      If no `PangoTabArray` has been set, then the default tabs are
      in use and %NULL is returned. Default tabs are every 8 spaces.

      The return value should be freed with [method@Pango.TabArray.free].
      Returns:
      a copy of the tabs for this layout
    • getText

      public Str getText()
      Gets the text in the layout.

      The returned text should not be freed or modified.
      Returns:
      the text in the @layout
    • getUnknownGlyphsCount

      public int getUnknownGlyphsCount()
      Counts the number of unknown glyphs in @layout.

      This function can be used to determine if there are any fonts
      available to render all characters in a certain string, or when
      used in combination with %PANGO_ATTR_FALLBACK, to check if a
      certain font supports all the characters in the string.
      Returns:
      The number of unknown glyphs in @layout
    • getWidth

      public int getWidth()
      Gets the width to which the lines of the `PangoLayout` should wrap.
      Returns:
      the width in Pango units, or -1 if no width set.
    • getWrap

      public int getWrap()
      Gets the wrap mode for the layout.

      Use [method@Pango.Layout.is_wrapped] to query whether
      any paragraphs were actually wrapped.
      Returns:
      active wrap mode.
    • indexToLineX

      public void indexToLineX(int index_, boolean trailing, @Nullable Int line, @Nullable Int x_pos)
      Converts from byte @index_ within the @layout to line and X position.

      The 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 (%PANGO_SCALE units per device unit)
    • indexToPos

      public void indexToPos(int index_, @Nonnull Rectangle pos)
      Converts from an index within a `PangoLayout` to the onscreen position
      corresponding to the grapheme at that index.

      The returns is represented as rectangle. Note that `pos->x` is
      always the leading edge of the grapheme and `pos->x + pos->width` the
      trailing edge of the grapheme. If the directionality of the grapheme
      is right-to-left, then `pos->width` will be negative.
      Parameters:
      index_ - byte index within @layout
      pos - rectangle in which to store the position of the grapheme
    • isEllipsized

      public boolean isEllipsized()
      Queries whether the layout had to ellipsize any paragraphs.

      This returns %TRUE if the ellipsization mode for @layout
      is not %PANGO_ELLIPSIZE_NONE, a positive width is set on @layout,
      and there are paragraphs exceeding that width that have to be
      ellipsized.
      Returns:
      %TRUE if any paragraphs had to be ellipsized, %FALSE otherwise
    • isWrapped

      public boolean isWrapped()
      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_ELLIPSIZE_NONE,
      and there are paragraphs exceeding the layout width that have
      to be wrapped.
      Returns:
      %TRUE if any paragraphs had to be wrapped, %FALSE otherwise
    • moveCursorVisually

      public void moveCursorVisually(boolean strong, int old_index, int old_trailing, int direction, @Nonnull Int new_index, @Nonnull Int new_trailing)
      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:
      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 current cursor position
      old_trailing - if 0, the cursor was at the leading edge of the grapheme indicated by @old_index, if > 0, the cursor was at the trailing 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.
    • serialize

      public Bytes serialize(int flags)
      Serializes the @layout for later deserialization via [func@Pango.Layout.deserialize].

      There are no guarantees about the format of the output across different
      versions of Pango and [func@Pango.Layout.deserialize] will reject data
      that it cannot parse.

      The intended use of this function is testing, benchmarking and debugging.
      The format is not meant as a permanent storage format.
      Parameters:
      flags - `PangoLayoutSerializeFlags`
      Returns:
      a `GBytes` containing the serialized form of @layout
    • setAlignment

      public void setAlignment(int alignment)
      Sets the alignment for the layout: how partial lines are
      positioned within the horizontal space available.

      The default alignment is %PANGO_ALIGN_LEFT.
      Parameters:
      alignment - the alignment
    • setAttributes

      public void setAttributes(@Nullable AttrList attrs)
      Sets the text attributes for a layout object.

      References @attrs, so the caller can unref its reference.
      Parameters:
      attrs - a `PangoAttrList`
    • setAutoDir

      public void setAutoDir(boolean auto_dir)
      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
      `PangoContext`. (See [method@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_ALIGN_LEFT and %PANGO_ALIGN_RIGHT are swapped.
      Parameters:
      auto_dir - if %TRUE, compute the bidirectional base direction from the layout's contents
    • setEllipsize

      public void setEllipsize(int 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
      [method@Pango.Layout.set_width] and [method@Pango.Layout.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_ELLIPSIZE_NONE.

      See [method@Pango.Layout.set_height] for details.
      Parameters:
      ellipsize - the new ellipsization mode for @layout
    • setFontDescription

      public void setFontDescription(@Nullable FontDescription desc)
      Sets 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 `PangoFontDescription` to unset the current font description
    • setHeight

      public void setHeight(int height)
      Sets the height to which the `PangoLayout` 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

      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_ELLIPSIZE_NONE.
      The behavior is undefined if a height other than -1 is set and
      ellipsization mode is set to %PANGO_ELLIPSIZE_NONE, and may change in the
      future.
      Parameters:
      height - the desired height of the layout in Pango units if positive, or desired number of lines if negative.
    • setIndent

      public void setIndent(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_ALIGN_CENTER.

      The default value is 0.
      Parameters:
      indent - the amount by which to indent
    • setJustify

      public void setJustify(boolean justify)
      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 [method@Pango.Layout.set_justify_last_line].
      Parameters:
      justify - whether the lines in the layout should be justified
    • setJustifyLastLine

      public void setJustifyLastLine(boolean justify)
      Sets whether the last line should be stretched to fill the
      entire width of the layout.

      This only has an effect if [method@Pango.Layout.set_justify] has
      been called as well.

      The default value is %FALSE.
      Parameters:
      justify - whether the last line in the layout should be justified
    • setLineSpacing

      public void setLineSpacing(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 [method@Pango.Layout.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 [func@Pango.attr_line_height_new].
      Parameters:
      factor - the new line spacing factor
    • setMarkup

      public void setMarkup(@Nonnull Str markup, int length)
      Sets the layout text and attribute list from marked-up text.

      See [Pango Markup](pango_markup.html)).

      Replaces the current text and attribute list.

      This is the same as [method@Pango.Layout.set_markup_with_accel],
      but the markup text isn't scanned for accelerators.
      Parameters:
      markup - marked-up text
      length - length of marked-up text in bytes, or -1 if @markup is `NUL`-terminated
    • setMarkup

      public void setMarkup(String markup, int length)
      Sets the layout text and attribute list from marked-up text.

      See [Pango Markup](pango_markup.html)).

      Replaces the current text and attribute list.

      This is the same as [method@Pango.Layout.set_markup_with_accel],
      but the markup text isn't scanned for accelerators.
      Parameters:
      markup - marked-up text
      length - length of marked-up text in bytes, or -1 if @markup is `NUL`-terminated
    • setSingleParagraphMode

      public void setSingleParagraphMode(boolean setting)
      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:
      setting - new setting
    • setSpacing

      public void setSpacing(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 [method@Pango.Layout.set_line_spacing].
      In that case, the @spacing set with this function is ignored.

      Note: for semantics that are closer to the CSS line-height
      property, see [func@Pango.attr_line_height_new].
      Parameters:
      spacing - the amount of spacing
    • setTabs

      public void setTabs(@Nullable TabArray tabs)
      Sets the tabs to use for @layout, overriding the default tabs.

      `PangoLayout` 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 %NULL, 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_ALIGN_LEFT.
      Parameters:
      tabs - a `PangoTabArray`
    • setText

      public void setText(@Nonnull Str text, int length)
      Sets the text of the layout.

      This function validates @text and renders invalid UTF-8
      with a placeholder glyph.

      Note that if you have used [method@Pango.Layout.set_markup] or
      [method@Pango.Layout.set_markup_with_accel] on @layout before, you
      may want to call [method@Pango.Layout.set_attributes] to clear the
      attributes set on the layout from the markup as this function does
      not clear attributes.
      Parameters:
      text - the text
      length - maximum length of @text, in bytes. -1 indicates that the string is nul-terminated and the length should be calculated. The text will also be truncated on encountering a nul-termination even when @length is positive.
    • setText

      public void setText(String text, int length)
      Sets the text of the layout.

      This function validates @text and renders invalid UTF-8
      with a placeholder glyph.

      Note that if you have used [method@Pango.Layout.set_markup] or
      [method@Pango.Layout.set_markup_with_accel] on @layout before, you
      may want to call [method@Pango.Layout.set_attributes] to clear the
      attributes set on the layout from the markup as this function does
      not clear attributes.
      Parameters:
      text - the text
      length - maximum length of @text, in bytes. -1 indicates that the string is nul-terminated and the length should be calculated. The text will also be truncated on encountering a nul-termination even when @length is positive.
    • setWidth

      public void setWidth(int width)
      Sets the width to which the lines of the `PangoLayout` should wrap or
      ellipsized.

      The default value is -1: no width set.
      Parameters:
      width - the desired width in Pango units, or -1 to indicate that no wrapping or ellipsization should be performed.
    • setWrap

      public void setWrap(int wrap)
      Sets the wrap mode.

      The wrap mode only has effect if a width is set on the layout
      with [method@Pango.Layout.set_width]. To turn off wrapping,
      set the width to -1.

      The default value is %PANGO_WRAP_WORD.
      Parameters:
      wrap - the wrap mode
    • writeToFile

      public boolean writeToFile(int flags, @Nonnull Str filename) throws AllocationError
      A convenience method to serialize a layout to a file.

      It is equivalent to calling [method@Pango.Layout.serialize]
      followed by [func@GLib.file_set_contents].

      See those two functions for details on the arguments.

      It is mostly intended for use inside a debugger to quickly dump
      a layout to a file for later inspection.
      Parameters:
      flags - `PangoLayoutSerializeFlags`
      filename - the file to save it to
      Returns:
      %TRUE if saving was successful
      Throws:
      AllocationError
    • writeToFile

      public boolean writeToFile(int flags, String filename) throws AllocationError
      A convenience method to serialize a layout to a file.

      It is equivalent to calling [method@Pango.Layout.serialize]
      followed by [func@GLib.file_set_contents].

      See those two functions for details on the arguments.

      It is mostly intended for use inside a debugger to quickly dump
      a layout to a file for later inspection.
      Parameters:
      flags - `PangoLayoutSerializeFlags`
      filename - the file to save it to
      Returns:
      %TRUE if saving was successful
      Throws:
      AllocationError
    • xyToIndex

      public boolean xyToIndex(int x, int y, @Nonnull Int index_, @Nonnull Int trailing)
      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 [method@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:
      x - the X offset (in Pango units) from the left edge of the layout
      y - the Y offset (in Pango units) 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 leading edge of the grapheme.
      Returns:
      %TRUE if the coordinates were inside text, %FALSE otherwise
    • deserialize

      public static Layout deserialize(@Nonnull Context context, @Nonnull Bytes bytes, int flags) throws AllocationError
      Loads data previously created via [method@Pango.Layout.serialize].

      For a discussion of the supported format, see that function.

      Note: to verify that the returned layout is identical to
      the one that was serialized, you can compare @bytes to the
      result of serializing the layout again.
      Parameters:
      context - a `PangoContext`
      bytes - the bytes containing the data
      flags - `PangoLayoutDeserializeFlags`
      Returns:
      a new `PangoLayout`
      Throws:
      AllocationError
