1 2	GInterface +----AtkText

AtkText is implemented by AtkNoOpObject.

AtkText should be implemented by AtkObjects on behalf of widgets that have text content which is either attributed or otherwise non-trivial. AtkObjects whose text content is simple, unattributed, and very brief may expose that content via atkObjectGetName instead; however if the text is editable, multi-line, typically longer than three or four words, attributed, selectable, or if the object already uses the 'name' ATK property for other information, the AtkText interface should be used to expose the text content. In the case of editable text content, AtkEditableText (a subtype of the AtkText interface) should be implemented instead. AtkText provides not only traversal facilities and change notification for text content, but also caret tracking and glyph bounding box calculations. Note that the text strings are exposed as UTF-8, and are therefore potentially multi-byte, and caret-to-byte offset mapping makes no assumptions about the character length; also bounding box glyph-to-offset mapping may be complex for languages which use ligatures.

AtkText

The AtkText structure does not contain any fields.

AtkTextRange

A structure used to describe a text range. AtkTextRange is a transparent-type.

bounds: [AtkTextRectangle] A rectangle giving the bounds of the text range
startOffset: [integer] The start offset of a AtkTextRange
endOffset: [integer] The end offset of a AtkTextRange
content: [character] The text in the text range

AtkTextRectangle

A structure used to store a rectangle used by AtkText. AtkTextRectangle is a transparent-type.

x: [integer] The horizontal coordinate of a rectangle
y: [integer] The vertical coordinate of a rectangle
width: [integer] The width of a rectangle
height: [integer] The height of a rectangle

AtkAttribute

A string name/value pair representing a text attribute. AtkAttribute is a transparent-type.

name: [character] The attribute name. Call atkTextAttrGetName()
value: [character] the value of the attribute, represented as a string. Call atkTextAttrGetValue() for those which are strings. For values which are numbers, the string representation of the number is in value.

AtkTextBoundary

Text boundary types used for specifying boundaries for regions of text

char: Boundary is the boundary between characters (including non-printing characters)
word-start: Boundary is the start (i.e. first character) of a word.
word-end: Boundary is the end (i.e. last character) of a word.
sentence-start: Boundary is the first character in a sentence.
sentence-end: Boundary is the last (terminal) character in a sentence; in languages which use "sentence stop" punctuation such as English, the boundary is thus the '.', '?', or similar terminal punctuation character.
line-start: Boundary is the initial character of the content or a character immediately following a newline, linefeed, or return character.
line-end: Boundary is the linefeed, or return character.

AtkTextClipType

Describes the type of clipping required.

none: No clipping to be done
min: Text clipped by min coordinate is omitted
max: Text clipped by max coordinate is omitted
both: Only text fully within mix/max bound is retained

AtkTextAttribute

Describes the text attributes supported

invalid: Invalid attribute
left-margin: The pixel width of the left margin
right-margin: The pixel width of the right margin
indent: The number of pixels that the text is indented
invisible: Either "true" or "false" indicating whether text is visible or not
editable: Either "true" or "false" indicating whether text is editable or not
pixels-above-lines: Pixels of blank space to leave above each line.
pixels-below-lines: Pixels of blank space to leave below each line.
pixels-inside-wrap: Pixels of blank space to leave between wrapped lines inside the same line (paragraph).
bg-full-height: "true" or "false" whether to make the background color for each character the height of the highest font used on the current line, or the height of the font used for the current character.
rise: Number of pixels that the characters are risen above the baseline
underline: "none", "single", "double" or "low"
strikethrough: "true" or "false" whether the text is strikethrough
size: The size of the characters.
scale: The scale of the characters. The value is a string representation of a double
weight: The weight of the characters.
language: The language used
family-name: The font family name
bg-color: The background color. The value is an RGB value of the format "u,u,u"
fg-color: The foreground color. The value is an RGB value of the format "u,u,u"
bg-stipple: "true" if a GdkBitmap is set for stippling the background color.
fg-stipple: "true" if a GdkBitmap is set for stippling the foreground color.
wrap-mode: The wrap mode of the text, if any. Values are "none", "char", "word", or "word_char".
direction: The direction of the text, if set. Values are "none", "ltr" or "rtl"
justification: The justification of the text, if set. Values are "left", "right", "center" or "fill"
stretch: The stretch of the text, if set. Values are "ultra_condensed", "extra_condensed", "condensed", "semi_condensed", "normal", "semi_expanded", "expanded", "extra_expanded" or "ultra_expanded"
variant: The capitalization variant of the text, if set. Values are "normal" or "small_caps"
style: The slant style of the text, if set. Values are "normal", "oblique" or "italic"
last-defined: not a valid text attribute, used for finding end of enumeration

text-attributes-changed(atktext, user.data)

The "text-attributes-changed" signal is emitted when the text attributes of the text of an object which implements AtkText changes.

atktext: [AtkText] the object which received the signal.
user.data: [R object] user data set when the signal handler was connected.

text-caret-moved(atktext, arg1, user.data)

The "text-caret-moved" signal is emitted when the caret position of the text of an object which implements AtkText changes.

atktext: [AtkText] the object which received the signal.
arg1: [integer] The new position of the text caret.
user.data: [R object] user data set when the signal handler was connected.

text-changed(atktext, arg1, arg2, user.data)

The "text-changed" signal is emitted when the text of the object which implements the AtkText interface changes, This signal will have a detail which is either "insert" or "delete" which identifies whether the text change was an insertion or a deletion

atktext: [AtkText] the object which received the signal.
arg1: [integer] The position (character offset) of the insertion or deletion.
arg2: [integer] The length (in characters) of text inserted or deleted.
user.data: [R object] user data set when the signal handler was connected.
