Detailed Description

A PangoLayoutLine C++ wrapper class.

LayoutLine represents one of the lines resulting from laying out a paragraph via Layout. LayoutLine objects are obtained by calling Pango::Layout::get_line() and are only valid until the text, attributes, or settings of the parent Layout are modified.

Routines for rendering Layout objects are provided in code specific to each rendering system.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

Xfc::Pango::LayoutLine::LayoutLine (  PangoLayoutLine *  layout_line  )  [explicit]
 

Construct a new LayoutLine from an existing PangoLayoutLine.

Parameters:
layout_line A pointer to a PangoLayoutLine.

Xfc::Pango::LayoutLine::LayoutLine (  const LayoutLine &  src  ) 
 

Copy constructor.

Parameters:
src The source LayoutLine.

Member Function Documentation

Pointer<Gdk::Region> Xfc::Pango::LayoutLine::get_clip_region (  int  x_origin,
int  y_origin,
const std::vector< std::pair< int, int > > &  index_ranges
)  const
 

Obtains a clip region which contains the areas where the given ranges of text would be drawn.

Parameters:
x_origin The X pixel where you intend to draw the layout line with this clip.
y_origin The baseline pixel where you intend to draw the layout line with this clip.
index_ranges A reference to a vector of int/int pairs that holds the index ranges. The first value of each pair is the start index and the second value is the end index.
Returns:
A smart pointer to a new clip region containing the given ranges.
x_origin and y_origin are the same position you would pass to Gdk::Drawable::draw_layout_line(). index_ranges is a vector that should contain ranges of bytes in the layout's text as an int/int pair. The clip region will include space to the left or right of the line (to the layout bounding box) if you have indexes above or below the indexes contained inside the line. This is to draw the selection all the way to the side of the layout. However, the clip region is in line coordinates, not layout coordinates.

See Pango::Layout::get_clip_region() for an example of how to create a vector of pair.

void Xfc::Pango::LayoutLine::get_extents (  Rectangle *  ink_rect,
Rectangle *  logical_rect
)  const
 

Compute the logical and ink extents of a layout line.

Parameters:
ink_rect The rectangle used to store the extents of the glyph string as drawn, or null to indicate that the result is not needed.
logical_rect The rectangle used to store the logical extents of the glyph string, or null to indicate that the result is not needed.
See the documentation for Pango::Font::get_glyph_extents() for details about the interpretation of the rectangles.

void Xfc::Pango::LayoutLine::get_pixel_extents (  Rectangle *  ink_rect,
Rectangle *  logical_rect
)  const
 

Compute the logical and ink extents of a layout line.

Parameters:
ink_rect The rectangle used to store the extents of the glyph string as drawn, or null to indicate that the result is not needed.
logical_rect The rectangle used to store the logical extents of the glyph string, or null to indicate that the result is not needed.
See the documentation for Pango::Font::get_glyph_extents() for details about the interpretation of the rectangles. The returned rectangles are in device units, as opposed to get_extents(), which returns the extents in GlyphUnits.

std::vector<std::pair<int, int> > Xfc::Pango::LayoutLine::get_x_ranges (  int  start_index,
int  end_index
)  const
 

Get a list of visual ranges corresponding to a given logical range.

Parameters:
start_index The starting byte index of the logical range.
end_index The end byte index of the logical range.
Returns:
A vector of int/int pairs (see example below).
If start_index is less than the start index for the line, then the first range will extend all the way to the leading edge of the layout. Otherwise it will start at the leading edge of the first character. If end_index is greater than the end index for the line, then the last range will extend all the way to the trailing edge of the layout. Otherwise, it will end at the trailing edge of the last character.

This list is not necessarily minimal - there may be consecutive ranges which are adjacent. The ranges will be sorted from left to right. The ranges are with respect to the left edge of the entire layout, not with respect to the line.

The return value is not as strange as it looks. A std::pair is a container that stores 2 values, and vector you already know, so the return value is a vector of int/int pairs. In a std::pair the first value is called first and the second value is called second. In the returned vector each pair is a range. In each pair the first value is the start of the range and the second value is the width of the range. The coordinates are relative to the layout and are in GlyphUnits. To access the values returned in the pairs you would do something like this: 

             std::vector<std::pair<int, int> > ranges = get_x_ranges(start_index, end_index);
             
             for (int i = 0; i < ranges.size(); i++)
             {
                int start_of_range = ranges[i].first;
                int width_of_range = ranges[i].second;
                ...
             }
Note the space between the two >s; >> is the right shift operator.

int Xfc::Pango::LayoutLine::index_to_x (  int  index,
bool  trailing
) 
 

Converts an index within a line to a X position.

Parameters:
index The byte offset of a grapheme within the layout.
trailing Whether to compute the result for the leading or trailing edge of the grapheme.
Returns:
The x_offset (in GlyphUnits).

bool Xfc::Pango::LayoutLine::is_paragraph_start (   )  const
 

Determines whether this is the first line of a paragraph.

Returns:
true if this is the first line of a paragraph.

LayoutLine& Xfc::Pango::LayoutLine::operator= (  const LayoutLine &  src  ) 
 

Assignment operator.

Parameters:
src The source LayoutLine.

bool Xfc::Pango::LayoutLine::x_to_index (  int  x_pos,
int *  index,
int *  trailing
) 
 

Convert from x offset to the byte index of the corresponding character within the text of the layout.

Parameters:
x_pos The x offset (in GlyphUnits) from the left edge of the line.
index The location to store the calculated byte offset for the grapheme in which the user clicked.
trailing The location to store a integer indicating where in the grapheme the user clicked.
Returns:
false if x_pos was outside the line, true if inside.
If x_pos is outside the line, the start or end of the line will be stored at index. trailing will either be zero, or the number of characters in the grapheme. 0 represents the trailing edge of the cluster.
