PgGlyphItemIter

A PangoGlyphItemIter is an iterator over the clusters in a PangoGlyphItem The <firstterm>forward direction</firstterm> of the iterator is the logical direction of text. That is, with increasing start_index and start_char values. If glyph_item is right-to-left (that is, if <literal>glyph_item->item->analysis.level</literal> is odd), then start_glyph decreases as the iterator moves forward. Moreover, in right-to-left cases, start_glyph is greater than end_glyph.

An iterator should be initialized using either of pango_glyph_item_iter_init_start() and pango_glyph_item_iter_init_end(), for forward and backward iteration respectively, and walked over using any desired mixture of pango_glyph_item_iter_next_cluster() and pango_glyph_item_iter_prev_cluster(). A common idiom for doing a forward iteration over the clusters is: <programlisting> PangoGlyphItemIter cluster_iter; gboolean have_cluster;

for (have_cluster = pango_glyph_item_iter_init_start (&amp;cluster_iter, glyph_item, text); have_cluster; have_cluster = pango_glyph_item_iter_next_cluster (&amp;cluster_iter)) { ... } </programlisting>

Note that text is the start of the text for layout, which is then indexed by <literal>glyph_item->item->offset</literal> to get to the text of glyph_item. The start_index and end_index values can directly index into text. The start_glyph, end_glyph, start_char, and end_char values however are zero-based for the glyph_item. For each cluster, the item pointed at by the start variables is included in the cluster while the one pointed at by end variables is not.

None of the members of a PangoGlyphItemIter should be modified manually.

Constructors

this
this(PangoGlyphItemIter* pangoGlyphItemIter, bool ownedRef)

Sets our main struct and passes it to the parent class.

Destructor

A destructor is present on this object, but not explicitly documented in the source.

Members

Functions

copy
PgGlyphItemIter copy()

Make a shallow copy of an existing PangoGlyphItemIter structure.

free
void free()

Frees a PangoGlyphItemIter created by pango_glyph_item_iter_copy().

getPgGlyphItemIterStruct
PangoGlyphItemIter* getPgGlyphItemIterStruct(bool transferOwnership)

initEnd
bool initEnd(PgGlyphItem glyphItem, string text)

Initializes a PangoGlyphItemIter structure to point to the last cluster in a glyph item. See PangoGlyphItemIter for details of cluster orders.

initStart
bool initStart(PgGlyphItem glyphItem, string text)

Initializes a PangoGlyphItemIter structure to point to the first cluster in a glyph item. See PangoGlyphItemIter for details of cluster orders.

nextCluster
bool nextCluster()

Advances the iterator to the next cluster in the glyph item. See PangoGlyphItemIter for details of cluster orders.

prevCluster
bool prevCluster()

Moves the iterator to the preceding cluster in the glyph item. See PangoGlyphItemIter for details of cluster orders.
