Description

Widget that displays a TextBuffer

Synopsis

Detail

You may wish to begin by reading the text widget conceptual overview which gives an overview of all the objects and data types related to the text widget and how they work together.

Throughout we distinguish between buffer coordinates which are pixels with the origin at the upper left corner of the first character on the first line. Window coordinates are relative to the top left pixel which is visible in the current TextView. Coordinates from Events are in the latter relation. The conversion can be done with textViewWindowToBufferCoords.

Types

data Justification Source

Justification for label and maybe other widgets (text?)

data WrapMode Source

Determine how lines are wrapped in a TextView.

Constructors

textViewNew :: IO TextViewSource

Creates a new TextView. If you don't call textViewSetBuffer before using the text view, an empty default buffer will be created for you. Get the buffer with textViewGetBuffer. If you want to specify your own buffer, consider textViewNewWithBuffer.

textViewNewWithBuffer :: TextBufferClass buffer => buffer -> IO TextViewSource

Creates a new TextView widget displaying the buffer buffer. One buffer can be shared among many widgets.

Methods

textViewSetBuffer :: (TextViewClass self, TextBufferClass buffer) => self -> buffer -> IO ()Source

Sets the given buffer as the buffer being displayed by the text view.

textViewGetBuffer :: TextViewClass self => self -> IO TextBufferSource

Returns the TextBuffer being displayed by this text view.

textViewScrollToMarkSource

Arguments

:: (TextViewClass self, TextMarkClass mark) 
=> self 
-> mark

mark - a TextMark

-> Double

withinMargin - margin as a [0.0,0.5) fraction of screen size and imposes an extra margin at all four sides of the window within which xalign and yalign are evaluated.

-> Maybe (Double, Double)

Just (xalign, yalign) - horizontal and vertical alignment of mark within visible area (if Nothing, scroll just enough to get the mark onscreen)

-> IO () 

Scrolls the text view so that mark is on the screen in the position indicated by xalign and yalign. An alignment of 0.0 indicates left or top, 1.0 indicates right or bottom, 0.5 means center. If the alignment is Nothing, the text scrolls the minimal distance to get the mark onscreen, possibly not scrolling at all. The effective screen for purposes of this function is reduced by a margin of size withinMargin.

textViewScrollToIterSource

Arguments

:: TextViewClass self 
=> self 
-> TextIter

iter - a TextIter

-> Double

withinMargin - margin as a [0.0,0.5) fraction of screen size

-> Maybe (Double, Double)

Just (xalign, yalign) - horizontal and vertical alignment of mark within visible area (if Nothing, scroll just enough to get the iterator onscreen)

-> IO Bool

returns True if scrolling occurred

Scrolls the text view so that iter is on the screen in the position indicated by xalign and yalign. An alignment of 0.0 indicates left or top, 1.0 indicates right or bottom, 0.5 means center. If the alignment is Nothing, the text scrolls the minimal distance to get the mark onscreen, possibly not scrolling at all. The effective screen for purposes of this function is reduced by a margin of size withinMargin.

  • This function uses the currently-computed height of the lines in the text buffer. Note that line heights are computed in an idle handler; so this function may not have the desired effect if it's called before the height computations. To avoid oddness, consider using textViewScrollToMark which saves a point to be scrolled to after line validation. This is particularly important if you add new text to the buffer and immediately ask the view to scroll to it (which it can't since it is not updated until the main loop runs).

textViewScrollMarkOnscreenSource

Arguments

:: (TextViewClass self, TextMarkClass mark) 
=> self 
-> mark

mark - a mark in the buffer for the text view

-> IO () 

Scrolls the text view the minimum distance such that mark is contained within the visible area of the widget.

textViewMoveMarkOnscreenSource

Arguments

:: (TextViewClass self, TextMarkClass mark) 
=> self 
-> mark

mark - a TextMark

-> IO Bool

returns True if the mark moved (wasn't already onscreen)

Moves a mark within the buffer so that it's located within the currently-visible text area.

textViewPlaceCursorOnscreenSource

Arguments

:: TextViewClass self 
=> self 
-> IO Bool

returns True if the cursor had to be moved.

Moves the cursor to the currently visible region of the buffer, it it isn't there already.

textViewGetLineAtYSource

Arguments

:: TextViewClass self 
=> self 
-> Int

y - a y coordinate

-> IO (TextIter, Int)

(targetIter, lineTop) - returns the iter and the top coordinate of the line

Gets the TextIter at the start of the line containing the coordinate y. y is in buffer coordinates, convert from window coordinates with textViewWindowToBufferCoords. Also returns lineTop the coordinate of the top edge of the line.

textViewGetLineYrangeSource

Arguments

:: TextViewClass self 
=> self 
-> TextIter

iter - a TextIter

-> IO (Int, Int)

(y, height) - y coordinate and height of the line

Gets the y coordinate of the top of the line containing iter, and the height of the line. The coordinate is a buffer coordinate; convert to window coordinates with textViewBufferToWindowCoords.

textViewGetIterAtLocationSource

Arguments

:: TextViewClass self 
=> self 
-> Int

x - x position, in buffer coordinates

-> Int

y - y position, in buffer coordinates

-> IO TextIter 

Retrieves the iterator at buffer coordinates x and y. Buffer coordinates are coordinates for the entire buffer, not just the currently-displayed portion. If you have coordinates from an event, you have to convert those to buffer coordinates with textViewWindowToBufferCoords.

textViewBufferToWindowCoordsSource

Arguments

:: TextViewClass self 
=> self 
-> TextWindowType

win - a TextWindowType except TextWindowPrivate

-> (Int, Int)

(bufferX, bufferY) - buffer x and y coordinates

-> IO (Int, Int)

returns window x and y coordinates

Converts coordinate (bufferX, bufferY) to coordinates for the window win

Note that you can't convert coordinates for a nonexisting window (see textViewSetBorderWindowSize).

textViewWindowToBufferCoordsSource

Arguments

:: TextViewClass self 
=> self 
-> TextWindowType

win - a TextWindowType except TextWindowPrivate

-> (Int, Int)

(windowX, windowY) - window x and y coordinates

-> IO (Int, Int)

returns buffer x and y coordinates

Converts coordinates on the window identified by win to buffer coordinates.

Note that you can't convert coordinates for a nonexisting window (see textViewSetBorderWindowSize).

textViewGetWindowSource

Arguments

:: TextViewClass self 
=> self 
-> TextWindowType

win - window to get

-> IO (Maybe DrawWindow)

returns a DrawWindow, or Nothing

Retrieves the DrawWindow corresponding to an area of the text view; possible windows include the overall widget window, child windows on the left, right, top, bottom, and the window that displays the text buffer. Windows are Nothing and nonexistent if their width or height is 0, and are nonexistent before the widget has been realized.

textViewGetWindowType :: TextViewClass self => self -> DrawWindow -> IO TextWindowTypeSource

Retrieve the type of window the TextView widget contains.

Usually used to find out which window an event corresponds to. An emission of an event signal of TextView yields a DrawWindow. This function can be used to see if the event actually belongs to the main text window.

textViewSetBorderWindowSizeSource

Arguments

:: TextViewClass self 
=> self 
-> TextWindowType

type - window to affect

-> Int

size - width or height of the window

-> IO () 

Sets the width of TextWindowLeft or TextWindowRight, or the height of TextWindowTop or TextWindowBottom. Automatically destroys the corresponding window if the size is set to 0, and creates the window if the size is set to non-zero. This function can only be used for the "border windows", it doesn't work with TextWindowWidget, TextWindowText, or TextWindowPrivate.

textViewGetBorderWindowSizeSource

Arguments

:: TextViewClass self 
=> self 
-> TextWindowType

type - window to return size from

-> IO Int

returns width of window

Gets the width of the specified border window. See textViewSetBorderWindowSize.

textViewForwardDisplayLineSource

Arguments

:: TextViewClass self 
=> self 
-> TextIter

iter - a TextIter

-> IO Bool

returns True if iter was moved and is not on the end iterator

Moves the given iter forward by one display (wrapped) line. A display line is different from a paragraph. Paragraphs are separated by newlines or other paragraph separator characters. Display lines are created by line-wrapping a paragraph. If wrapping is turned off, display lines and paragraphs will be the same. Display lines are divided differently for each view, since they depend on the view's width; paragraphs are the same in all views, since they depend on the contents of the TextBuffer.

textViewBackwardDisplayLineSource

Arguments

:: TextViewClass self 
=> self 
-> TextIter

iter - a TextIter

-> IO Bool

returns True if iter was moved and is not on the end iterator

Moves the given iter backward by one display (wrapped) line. A display line is different from a paragraph. Paragraphs are separated by newlines or other paragraph separator characters. Display lines are created by line-wrapping a paragraph. If wrapping is turned off, display lines and paragraphs will be the same. Display lines are divided differently for each view, since they depend on the view's width; paragraphs are the same in all views, since they depend on the contents of the TextBuffer.

textViewForwardDisplayLineEndSource

Arguments

:: TextViewClass self 
=> self 
-> TextIter

iter - a TextIter

-> IO Bool

returns True if iter was moved and is not on the end iterator

Moves the given iter forward to the next display line end. A display line is different from a paragraph. Paragraphs are separated by newlines or other paragraph separator characters. Display lines are created by line-wrapping a paragraph. If wrapping is turned off, display lines and paragraphs will be the same. Display lines are divided differently for each view, since they depend on the view's width; paragraphs are the same in all views, since they depend on the contents of the TextBuffer.

textViewBackwardDisplayLineStartSource

Arguments

:: TextViewClass self 
=> self 
-> TextIter

iter - a TextIter

-> IO Bool

returns True if iter was moved and is not on the end iterator

Moves the given iter backward to the next display line start. A display line is different from a paragraph. Paragraphs are separated by newlines or other paragraph separator characters. Display lines are created by line-wrapping a paragraph. If wrapping is turned off, display lines and paragraphs will be the same. Display lines are divided differently for each view, since they depend on the view's width; paragraphs are the same in all views, since they depend on the contents of the TextBuffer.

textViewStartsDisplayLineSource

Arguments

:: TextViewClass self 
=> self 
-> TextIter

iter - a TextIter

-> IO Bool

returns True if iter begins a wrapped line

Determines whether iter is at the start of a display line. See textViewForwardDisplayLine for an explanation of display lines vs. paragraphs.

textViewMoveVisuallySource

Arguments

:: TextViewClass self 
=> self 
-> TextIter

iter - a TextIter

-> Int

count - number of characters to move (negative moves left, positive moves right)

-> IO Bool

returns True if iter moved and is not on the end iterator

Move the iterator a given number of characters visually, treating it as the strong cursor position. If count is positive, then the new strong cursor position will be count positions to the right of the old cursor position. If count is negative then the new strong cursor position will be count positions 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.

textViewAddChildAtAnchorSource

Arguments

:: (TextViewClass self, WidgetClass child) 
=> self 
-> child

child - a Widget

-> TextChildAnchor

anchor - a TextChildAnchor in the TextBuffer for the text view

-> IO () 

Adds a child widget in the text buffer, at the given anchor.

textChildAnchorNew :: IO TextChildAnchorSource

Create a new TextChildAnchor.

  • Using textBufferCreateChildAnchor is usually simpler then executing this function and textBufferInsertChildAnchor.

textChildAnchorGetWidgets :: TextChildAnchor -> IO [Widget]Source

Retrieve all Widgets at this TextChildAnchor.

  • The widgets in the returned list need to be upcasted to what they were.

textChildAnchorGetDeleted :: TextChildAnchor -> IO BoolSource

Query if an anchor was deleted.

textViewAddChildInWindowSource

Arguments

:: (TextViewClass self, WidgetClass child) 
=> self 
-> child

child - a Widget

-> TextWindowType

whichWindow - which window the child should appear in

-> Int

xpos - X position of child in window coordinates

-> Int

ypos - Y position of child in window coordinates

-> IO () 

Adds a child at fixed coordinates in one of the text widget's windows. The window must have nonzero size (see textViewSetBorderWindowSize). Note that the child coordinates are given relative to the DrawWindow in question, and that these coordinates have no sane relationship to scrolling. When placing a child in TextWindowWidget, scrolling is irrelevant, the child floats above all scrollable areas. If you want the widget to move when the text view scrolls, use textViewAddChildAtAnchor instead.

textViewMoveChildSource

Arguments

:: (TextViewClass self, WidgetClass child) 
=> self 
-> child

child - child widget already added to the text view

-> Int

xpos - new X position in window coordinates

-> Int

ypos - new Y position in window coordinates

Sets the line wrapping for the view.

textViewGetWrapMode :: TextViewClass self => self -> IO WrapModeSource

Gets the line wrapping for the view.

Returns the default editability of the TextView. Tags in the buffer may override this setting for some ranges of text.

textViewSetCursorVisible :: TextViewClass self => self -> Bool -> IO ()Source

Toggles whether the insertion point is displayed. A buffer with no editable text probably shouldn't have a visible cursor, so you may want to turn the cursor off.

textViewGetCursorVisible :: TextViewClass self => self -> IO BoolSource

Find out whether the cursor is being displayed.

textViewSetPixelsAboveLines :: TextViewClass self => self -> Int -> IO ()Source

Sets the default number of blank pixels above paragraphs in the text view. Tags in the buffer for the text view may override the defaults.

  • Tags in the buffer may override this default.

textViewGetPixelsAboveLines :: TextViewClass self => self -> IO IntSource

Gets the default number of pixels to put above paragraphs.

textViewSetPixelsBelowLines :: TextViewClass self => self -> Int -> IO ()Source

Sets the default number of pixels of blank space to put below paragraphs in the text view. May be overridden by tags applied to the text view's buffer.

textViewGetPixelsBelowLines :: TextViewClass self => self -> IO IntSource

Gets the default number of blank pixels below each paragraph.

textViewSetPixelsInsideWrap :: TextViewClass self => self -> Int -> IO ()Source

Sets the default number of pixels of blank space to leave between display/wrapped lines within a paragraph. May be overridden by tags in the text view's buffer.

textViewGetPixelsInsideWrap :: TextViewClass self => self -> IO IntSource

Gets the default number of pixels of blank space between lines in a wrapped paragraph.

textViewSetJustification :: TextViewClass self => self -> Justification -> IO ()Source

Sets the default justification of text in the text view. Tags in the view's buffer may override the default.

textViewGetJustification :: TextViewClass self => self -> IO JustificationSource

Gets the default justification of paragraphs in the text view. Tags in the buffer may override the default.

textViewSetLeftMarginSource

Arguments

:: TextViewClass self 
=> self 
-> Int

leftMargin - left margin in pixels

-> IO () 

Sets the default left margin for text in the text view. Tags in the buffer may override the default.

textViewGetLeftMarginSource

Arguments

:: TextViewClass self 
=> self 
-> IO Int

returns left margin in pixels

Gets the default left margin size of paragraphs in the text view. Tags in the buffer may override the default.

textViewSetRightMarginSource

Arguments

:: TextViewClass self 
=> self 
-> Int

rightMargin - right margin in pixels

-> IO () 

Sets the default right margin for text in the text view. Tags in the buffer may override the default.

textViewGetRightMarginSource

Arguments

:: TextViewClass self 
=> self 
-> IO Int

returns right margin in pixels

Gets the default right margin for text in the text view. Tags in the buffer may override the default.

textViewSetIndentSource

Arguments

:: TextViewClass self 
=> self 
-> Int

indent - indentation in pixels (may be negative)

-> IO () 

Sets the default indentation for paragraphs in the text view. Tags in the buffer may override the default.

textViewGetIndentSource

Arguments

:: TextViewClass self 
=> self 
-> IO Int

returns number of pixels of indentation

Gets the default indentation of paragraphs in the text view. Tags in the view's buffer may override the default. The indentation may be negative.

textViewGetDefaultAttributes :: TextViewClass self => self -> IO TextAttributesSource

Obtains a copy of the default text attributes. These are the attributes used for text unless a tag overrides them. You'd typically pass the default attributes in to textIterGetAttributes in order to get the attributes in effect at a given text position.

textViewGetVisibleRect :: TextViewClass self => self -> IO RectangleSource

Returns the currently-visible region of the buffer, in buffer coordinates. Convert to window coordinates with textViewBufferToWindowCoords.

textViewGetIterLocation :: TextViewClass self => self -> TextIter -> IO RectangleSource

Gets a rectangle which roughly contains the character at iter. The rectangle position is in buffer coordinates; use textViewBufferToWindowCoords to convert these coordinates to coordinates for one of the windows in the text view.

textViewGetIterAtPositionSource

Arguments

:: TextViewClass self 
=> self 
-> Int

x - x position, in buffer coordinates

-> Int

y - y position, in buffer coordinates

-> IO (TextIter, Int)

(iter, trailing) - returns the iterator and an 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 trailing edge of the grapheme.

Retrieves the iterator pointing to the character at buffer coordinates x and y. Buffer coordinates are coordinates for the entire buffer, not just the currently-displayed portion. If you have coordinates from an event, you have to convert those to buffer coordinates with textViewWindowToBufferCoords.

Note that this is different from textViewGetIterAtLocation, which returns cursor locations, i.e. positions between characters.

  • Available since Gtk+ version 2.6

textViewSetOverwriteSource

Arguments

=> self 
-> Bool

acceptsTab - True if pressing the Tab key should insert a tab character, False, if pressing the Tab key should move the keyboard focus.

-> IO () 

Sets the behavior of the text widget when the Tab key is pressed. If acceptsTab is True a tab character is inserted. If acceptsTab is False the keyboard focus is moved to the next widget in the focus chain.

  • Available since Gtk+ version 2.4

textViewGetAcceptsTabSource

Arguments

textViewImContextFilterKeypress :: TextViewClass self => self -> EventM EKey BoolSource

Allow the TextView input method to internally handle key press and release events. If this function returns True, then no further processing should be done for this key event. See imContextFilterKeypress.

Note that you are expected to call this function from your handler when overriding key event handling. This is needed in the case when you need to insert your own key handling between the input method and the default key event handling of the TextView.

  • Available since Gtk+ version 2.22

textViewResetImContext :: TextViewClass self => self -> IO ()Source

Reset the input method context of the text view if needed.

This can be necessary in the case where modifying the buffer would confuse on-going input method behavior.
