When removing a binding entry from the binding pool we should not
only remove it from the hash table, but also from the linked list
we use to iterate over inside the block/unblock_action() pair.
The clutter_binding_pool_list_actions() was not implemented. The
utility of a call listing all the action names is also debatable:
all the functions related to the key bindings take the key symbol
and modifiers -- except the block_action() and unblock_action()
pair.
Sometimes an actor needs to set specific font rendering options on
the PangoContext without changing settings for every other text-rendering
actor.
In order to do this, we need a new public method to create a Pango
context object -- preset with all the default settings -- owned by the
developer and not shared with the rest of Clutter.
This new method is called clutter_actor_create_pango_context(); while
it does not strictly depend on a ClutterActor, it is a good idea to
have it inside the ClutterActor API to map the current get_pango_context()
method and in case we start storing screen-specific data to the Actor
itself during the 1.x API cycle.
The _clutter_context_create_pango_context() should create a new
context; the function returning the PangoContext stored inside the
MainContext structure should be named _get_pango_context() instead.
As of now, a key binding installed into a BindingPool is always there
and cannot be changed.
This is problematic for sub-classes trying to override the callback
or the action for a given key binding.
This commit adds the ability to override the closure for an existing
key binding inside a binding pool -- assumed the caller knows the
key symbol and modifiers used to install the key binding in the first
place.
The direction of the text depends on the locale, and it is the
basic setting needed to enable internationalization of user
interfaces.
This commit allows setting the direction of the PangoContext instance
used by Clutter by using the CLUTTER_TEXT_DIRECTION environment
variable, or by passing the --clutter-text-direction command line
argument. Valid values are:
ltr - for left-to-right locales
rtl - for right-to-left locales
The default is LTR.
Ideally, this should be a value set by the localization teams on the
PO file, but this step requires some build system surgery to allow
the translation of the Clutter strings.
When calling clutter_backend_get_font_name(), if no default font
name has previously been set, we just set the default and return
a pointer to it - like we do for the font options.
Instead of storing the default font name and size as a pre-processor
macro, use the newly added ClutterBackend API to retrieve the current
default font from the backend.
The default backend stores some of the global defaults, like the
font options, text resolution, double click settings. It should also
store the default font name, to allow various text-based actors to
share the same settings.
When the font name changes, the ::font-changed signal is emitted,
to allow actors to pick up the change.
When the ClutterBackend notifies of changes in the resolution or
font options, update the PangoContext stored by Clutter's main
context. This allows changing the backend font-related settings at
runtime.
The PangoContext should be stored once, and inside the main
Clutter context. Each actor for which clutter_actor_get_pango_context()
has been called will hold a reference on the Pango context as well.
This makes it possible to update the text rendering for Clutter
by using only public API.
Rendering text inside an actor is pretty much impossible without
using internal API to create the various pieces like the PangoContext
and the font map.
Each actor should have the ability to create a PangoContext, which
is the only object needed to generate layouts and change the various
Pango settings.
This commit adds a clutter_actor_get_pango_context() function that
creates a PangoContext inside the ClutterActor private data and allows
the creation of PangoLayouts when needed. If the actor already
has a PangoContext, the same instance is returned.
The PangoContext is created only on demand.
The ClutterBackend instance at the moment lacks the ability to
notify runtime changes of the font options and the resolution.
For this reason, this commit adds a ::resolution-changed and a
::font-changed signals to the Backend class.
The ::resolution-changed signal is emitted when set_resolution()
is called with a different DPI; ::font-changed is emitted when the
cairo_font_options_t* changes from the default.
This follows the convention of GtkLabel/GtkEntry in GTK+ and the old
ClutterEntry.
It makes it easier to use strlen/strcmp etc on the output, since we can
assume that it is always a string.
This commit also updates the test unit for ClutterText to verify that
the clutter_text_get_text() function also returns an empty string when
a ClutterText actor has been created.
The clutter-private.h header already includes cogl-pango.h with
the correct inclusion path, because the main context stores a
pointer to the font map.
There is no need for clutter-text.c to include cogl-pango.h
again since it already includes clutter-private.h.
After fixing the cursor position issues around the initial
glyph of the layout, the selection position needs fixing as
well.
The fix is similar: check if the position of the selection
is 0 and provide a fast path by setting the offset to 0.
The GTest report output allows the developer to know where exactly
a test unit failure happened. The test-text-cache unit makes it
very hard to pinpoint the exact failure location because it relies
on the output to be printed out - which is not the case when the
tests are run as part of a make check.
This commit makes each sub-test inside the unit fail exactly where
the check function fails, which makes it easier to know which sub-test
did actually fail.
The clutter_text_set_selection() function is a convenience
method for setting the cursor position and the selection
boundary to a given position in a single call, with sanity
checks for the positions.
The clutter_text_get_selection() function was not checking the
passed argument, and was still accessing the contents of the
Text actor using clutter_text_get_text().
This commit also adds the last few gtk-doc annotations missing
from ClutterText.
Instead of repeating the same code for the ::activate signal
emission, use the clutter_text_activate() function inside the
'activate' key binding handler.
The clutter_text_activate() function will emit the ::activate
signal if the :activatable property is set.
This function is useful for subclasses or application code, for
example if we are going to use ::captured-event or ::key-press-event
signal handlers to intercept the Return key and emit the ::activate
signal ourselves.
Instead of installing the line-start and line-end key bindings
using the bare ClutterBindingPool API, we can use the internal
clutter_text_add_move_binding(), which automatically installs
the same key binding with the Shift modifier mask.
This allows selecting when pressing Shift+Home or Shift+End.
The selection behaviour is still incorrect around the zeroeth
position, with all the text after the first line being selected.
We can control the width of the cursor when painting by using
a simple property.
The magic -1 number passed to the setter method will reset the
cursor size to the default one of 2px.
The getter method will return an unsigned integer with the
current size.
Moving the text by a "page" depends on being able to define a
"page size" in terms of lines of text. Since we don't define
something similar to an Adjustment that allows us to handle this
behaviour, we should defer the paging implementation to a higher
level class based on ClutterText.
Another fix for the key navigation behaviour around the zeroeth
glyph in the layout.
This commit adds a fast path for for the zero index when the
cursor position is set as zero, in case we are using the line-start
or line-end key bindings, similarly to what we did in commit
be64cbcdc2 for the move-up and
move-down bindings.
The behaviour of ClutterText around the initial position is still
a little bit erratic.
This commit fixes the key navigation with Up and Down arrows around
the first line of text.
We loose precision with a direct conversion for PangoUnits to
pixels, so we should do the conversion as needed, inside the
callers of clutter_text_position_to_coords().
We don't allow changing the cursor geometry inside the ::cursor-event
signal handlers; for starters, it would make binding the signal a
huge mess, and it would also potentially break the whole actor.
Add all the unused API to the sections file; there are still
some undocumented bits, but clutter-unused.txt is empty for
the time being.
Also, add ClutterText to the main XML document and remove
ClutterLabel and ClutterEntry.
If we create the PangoContext for ClutterText inside the class
initialization we might not have a Clutter main context yet.
Ideally, we should store the Pango context inside the main context
and create it on clutter_init(), but for now we can lazily create
the PangoContext when we initialize a ClutterText instance for the
first time.
For the time being, just don't include them or compile them; the
files will be removed from the repository as soon as all the
documentation annotations have been ported over to ClutterText.
