Constructor Details

#initialize(buffer) ⇒ Gtk::Widget

Creates a new GtkTextView widget displaying the buffer buffer.

One buffer can be shared among many widgets. buffer may be nil to create a default buffer, in which case this function is equivalent to [ctorGtk.TextView.new]. The text view adds its own reference count to the buffer; it does not take over an existing reference.

Parameters:

Instance Method Details

#accepts_tab ⇒ Boolean

Returns whether pressing the Tab key inserts a tab characters.

See [methodGtk.TextView.set_accepts_tab].

Returns:

  • (Boolean) —

    true if pressing the Tab key inserts a tab character, false if pressing the Tab key moves the keyboard focus.

#accepts_tab=(accepts_tab) ⇒ Boolean

Whether Tab will result in a tab character being entered.

Parameters:

  • accepts_tab (Boolean)

Returns:

  • (Boolean) —

    accepts-tab

  • (Boolean) —

    accepts-tab

#accepts_tab? ⇒ Boolean

Whether Tab will result in a tab character being entered.

Returns:

  • (Boolean) —

    accepts-tab

#add_child_at_anchor(child, anchor) ⇒ nil

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

Parameters:

Returns:

  • (nil)

#add_overlay(child, xpos, ypos) ⇒ nil

Adds child at a fixed coordinate in the GtkTextView's text window.

The xpos and ypos must be in buffer coordinates (see [methodGtk.TextView.get_iter_location] to convert to buffer coordinates).

child will scroll with the text view.

If instead you want a widget that will not move with the GtkTextView contents see GtkOverlay.

Parameters:

  • child (Gtk::Widget) —

    a GtkWidget

#backward_display_line(iter) ⇒ Boolean

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 GtkTextBuffer.

Parameters:

Returns:

  • (Boolean) —

    true if iter was moved and is not on the end iterator

#backward_display_line_start(iter) ⇒ Boolean

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 GtkTextBuffer.

Parameters:

Returns:

  • (Boolean) —

    true if iter was moved and is not on the end iterator

#bottom_margin ⇒ Integer

Don't confuse this property with [propertyGtk.Widget:margin-bottom].

Returns:

  • (Integer) —

    bottom-margin

#bottom_margin=(bottom_margin) ⇒ Integer

The bottom margin for text in the text view.

Note that this property is confusingly named. In CSS terms, the value set here is padding, and it is applied in addition to the padding from the theme.

#forward_display_line(iter) ⇒ Boolean

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 GtkTextBuffer.

Parameters:

Returns:

  • (Boolean) —

    true if iter was moved and is not on the end iterator

#forward_display_line_end(iter) ⇒ Boolean

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 GtkTextBuffer.

Parameters:

Returns:

  • (Boolean) —

    true if iter was moved and is not on the end iterator

#get_cursor_locations(iter, strong, weak) ⇒ nil

Determine the positions of the strong and weak cursors if the insertion point is at iter.

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 paragraph are inserted. The weak cursor location is the location where characters of the directionality opposite to the base direction of the paragraph are inserted.

If iter is nil, the actual cursor position is used.

Note that if iter happens to be the actual cursor position, and there is currently an IM preedit sequence being entered, the returned locations will be adjusted to account for the preedit cursor’s offset within the preedit sequence.

The rectangle position is in buffer coordinates; use [methodGtk.TextView.buffer_to_window_coords] to convert these coordinates to coordinates for one of the windows in the text view.

Parameters:

  • iter (Gtk::TextIter) —

    a GtkTextIter

  • strong (Gdk::Rectangle) —

    location to store the strong cursor position

  • weak (Gdk::Rectangle) —

    location to store the weak cursor position

Returns:

  • (nil)

#get_gutter(win) ⇒ Gtk::Widget

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.

Returns:

  • (nil)

#right_margin ⇒ Integer

The default right margin for text in the text view.

Tags in the buffer may override the default.

Note that this property is confusingly named. In CSS terms, the value set here is padding, and it is applied in addition to the padding from the theme.

Returns:

  • (Integer) —

    right-margin

#right_margin=(right_margin) ⇒ Integer

The default right margin for text in the text view.

Tags in the buffer may override the default.

Note that this property is confusingly named. In CSS terms, the value set here is padding, and it is applied in addition to the padding from the theme.

Parameters:

  • right_margin (Integer)

Returns:

  • (Integer) —

    right-margin

  • (Integer) —

    right-margin

#rtl_context ⇒ Pango::Context

Gets the PangoContext that is used for rendering RTL directed text layouts.

The context may be replaced when CSS changes occur.

Returns:

  • (Pango::Context) —

    a PangoContext

#scroll_mark_onscreen(mark) ⇒ nil

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

Parameters:

Returns:

  • (nil)

#scroll_to_iter(iter, within_margin, use_align, xalign, yalign) ⇒ Boolean

Scrolls 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 use_align is false, 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 within_margin.

Note that this function uses the currently-computed height of the lines in the text buffer. 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 [methodGtk.TextView.scroll_to_mark] which saves a point to be scrolled to after line validation.

Parameters:

  • iter (Gtk::TextIter) —

    a GtkTextIter

  • within_margin (Float) —

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

  • use_align (Boolean) —

    whether to use alignment arguments (if false, just get the mark onscreen)

  • xalign (Float) —

    horizontal alignment of mark within visible area

  • yalign (Float) —

    vertical alignment of mark within visible area

Returns:

  • (Boolean) —

    true if scrolling occurred

#scroll_to_mark(mark, within_margin, use_align, xalign, yalign) ⇒ nil

Scrolls 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 use_align is false, 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 within_margin.

Parameters:

  • mark (Gtk::TextMark) —

    a GtkTextMark

  • within_margin (Float) —

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

  • use_align (Boolean) —

    whether to use alignment arguments (if false, just get the mark onscreen)

  • xalign (Float) —

    horizontal alignment of mark within visible area

  • yalign (Float) —

    vertical alignment of mark within visible area

Returns:

  • (nil)

#set_gutter(win, widget) ⇒ nil

win must be one of %GTK_TEXT_WINDOW_LEFT, %GTK_TEXT_WINDOW_RIGHT, %GTK_TEXT_WINDOW_TOP, or %GTK_TEXT_WINDOW_BOTTOM.

Parameters:

Returns:

  • (nil)

#starts_display_line(iter) ⇒ Boolean

Determines whether iter is at the start of a display line.

See [methodGtk.TextView.forward_display_line] for an explanation of display lines vs. paragraphs.

Parameters:

Returns:

  • (Boolean) —

    true if iter begins a wrapped line

#top_margin ⇒ Integer

The top margin for text in the text view.

Note that this property is confusingly named. In CSS terms, the value set here is padding, and it is applied in addition to the padding from the theme.

Don't confuse this property with [propertyGtk.Widget:margin-top].

Returns:

  • (Integer) —

    top-margin

#top_margin=(top_margin) ⇒ Integer

The top margin for text in the text view.

Note that this property is confusingly named. In CSS terms, the value set here is padding, and it is applied in addition to the padding from the theme.
