Class Layout

public class Layout extends GObject

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. The objects and functions in this structure provide a high-level driver for formatting entire paragraphs of text at once.

The PangoLayout structure represents and entire paragraph of text. It 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.

getIndent

public int getIndent()
Gets the amount by which the first line should be shorter than the rest of the lines.

getJustified

public boolean getJustified()

Deprecated:

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

getJustify

public boolean getJustify()
Gets whether or not each complete line should be stretched to fill the entire width of the layout.

getLayoutFromHandle

public static Layout getLayoutFromHandle(Handle handle)
Static factory method that should only be used interally by Java-Gnome.

getLine

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

Parameters: line the index of a line, which must be between 0 and pango_layout_get_line_count(layout) - 1, inclusive.

Returns: the requested LayoutLine.

getLineCount

public int getLineCount()
Retrieve the count of lines for the layout

getPixelHeight

public int getPixelHeight()
Return the logical height of the Layout in device units.

getPixelWidth

public int getPixelWidth()
Return the logical width of the Layout in device units.

getSingleParagraphMode

public boolean getSingleParagraphMode()
Obtains the value set by Layout.

getSpacing

public int getSpacing()
Gets the amount of spacing between the lines of the layout.

Returns: the spacing (in thousandths of a device unit)

getStrongCursorPosition

public Rectangle getStrongCursorPosition(int index)
Given an index within a layout, determines the positions that of the strong cursor if the insertion point is at that index. The position of each cursor is stored as a zero-width rectangle. The strong cursor location is the location where characters of the directionality equal to the base direction of the layout are inserted.

Parameters: index

getTabs

public TabArray getTabs()
Gets the current TabArray used by this layout. If no TabArray has been set, then the default tabs are in use and null is returned. Default tabs are every 8 spaces.

getText

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

getWeakCursorPosition

public Rectangle getWeakCursorPosition(int index)
Given an index within a layout, determines the positions that of the weak cursor if the insertion point is at that index. The position of each cursor is stored as a zero-width rectangle. The weak cursor location is the location where characters of the directionality opposite to the base direction of the layout are inserted.

Parameters: index

getWidth

public int getWidth()
Gets the width to which the lines of the PangoLayout should be wrapped.

getWrap

public WrapMode getWrap()
Get the wrap mode for the layout.

getWrapMode

public WrapMode getWrapMode()

Deprecated:

Get the wrap mode for the layout.

indexToPos

public Rectangle indexToPos(int index)
Converts from an index within a Layout to the onscreen position corresponding to the grapheme at that index, which 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

setAlignment

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

setAttributes

public void setAttributes(AttrList attributes)
Sets the text attributes for a layout object

setFontDescription

public void setFontDescription(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.

setIndent

public void setIndent(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

setJustification

public void setJustification(boolean justify)

Deprecated:

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.

setJustify

public void setJustify(boolean justify)
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.

setMarkup

public void setMarkup(String markup, char accelMarker)
Sets the layout text and attribute list from marked-up text (see markup format). Replaces the current text and attribute list.

If accelMarker 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 LOW attribute. Two accelMarker characters following each other produce a single literal accelMarker character.

Parameters: markup some marked-up text accelMarker : marker for accelerators in the text

setMarkup

public void setMarkup(String markup)
Same as Layout, but the markup text isn't scanned for accelerators.

setSingleParagraphMode

public void setSingleParagraphMode(boolean setting)
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.

setSpacing

public void setSpacing(int spacing)
Sets the amount of spacing between the lines of the layout.

setTabs

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

setText

public void setText(String text)
Set the text of the layout.

setWidth

public void setWidth(int width)
Sets the width to which the lines of the PangoLayout should be wrapped.

setWrap
