Some of the read-write properties of ClutterText were missing
an implementation in clutter_text_get_property(), as well as
the :position and :selection-bound properties being wrongly
converted from fixed point to integer, passing through floating
point values.
An editable ClutterText should not use pango_layout_set_markup(),
as the contents of the text actor will not match the text.
Only read-only text actors should parse the contents for Pango
markup.
If the Text actor is neither editable nor has its cursor set
to visible, then we should not be ensuring the cursor position.
This fixes a failure in the conformance test unit for the
layout cache.

The cursor should be slightly smaller than the height of the actor, to
allow for painting a border. Let's pad it by 1 pixel on the top and 1
on the bottom.
Also, we should use the cursor size everywhere and not use hardcoded
magic numbers.
Allow using ClutterText as a single line text field. This is useful for
text fields that accept just a single line of contents by default, and
respond to the Enter key press to execute some action.
The :single-line-mode property enables this behaviour inside ClutterText
by clipping and scrolling the contents of the PangoLayout if they do
not fit the allocated width of the Text actor.
When using the delete-prev action from the end of the text we end
up either missing the first glyph we have to delete or falling
through the last one in the text.
This commit fixes both issues.
Since clutter_text_set_text() measures the length of the text
each time, we should use the cached length instead of recomputing
the text length each time. This should save us some time when
dealing with long, multi-byte texts.
Using two properties to set a password entry can be construed as
both cumbersome and a gtk-ism. And rightly so on both counts.
The :text-visible property has also conflicting semantics with the
:cursor-visible one: while the latter hides the cursor, the former
changes the display of the contents of the Text actor. It is, thus,
not a matter of "visibility" but of "rendering".
Instead of setting the :text-visible and :invisible-char properties
to have a password text field, the Text actor should just have a
single :password-char property holding a Unicode character. If the
value of the :password-char is non-zero, the Text actor will use the
Unicode character to render the contents of the text entry.
This commit removes the following methods:
clutter_text_set_text_visible()
clutter_text_get_text_visible()
clutter_text_set_invisible_char()
clutter_text_get_invisible_char()
And the following properties:
ClutterText:text-visible
ClutterText:invisible-char
In favour of:
clutter_text_set_password_char()
clutter_text_get_password_char()
And:
ClutterText:password-char
Thus making obvious what use the property and accessor methods are
for and simplifying the process of creating a simple password text
field to:
text = clutter_text_new ();
clutter_text_set_password_char (CLUTTER_TEXT (text), '*');
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.
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.
This is the port of the patch attached to bug 1266:
ClutterLabel support for pango_layout_set_height()
to the ClutterText actor. This patch adds support for the
pango_layout_set_height() function inside the layout creation
and caching, so that setting the height of a ClutterText will
make PangoLayout try to fill out the given height before
ellipsizing the contents of the ClutterText actor.
The original patch is from Havoc Pennington.
This commit ports the patch to ClutterText and applies a small
change to the height computation pointed out by Behdad Esfahbod
on GNOME's Bugzilla:
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=560931
That the layout heights when doing a size request should be
set to be G_MAXINT instead of -1.
Unfortunately, the patch seems to break the conformance suite
when setting the ellipsization on the layout.
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().
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.
We allow KeyEvents with a key symbol of '0' to fall through only
if they are marked as synthetic. Otherwise we discard them without
mercy.
Synthetic events are useful to test ClutterText behaviour; in fact,
we do use them inside the test suite exactly for that reason.
I understand we are not Pascal developers, and we don't have to
use cute and cuddly names like "i_am_an_integer_counter", but
a ClutterButtonEvent should be stored inside an "event" variable.
Using "bev" instead? Mmmh, not so much.
ClutterText should use the paint opacity for both text and
cursor.
ClutterLabel had the wrong behaviour, as it set the actor's
opacity using the text color's alpha channel, and ClutterEntry
completely disregarded the actor's opacity when painting the
cursor.
This commit harmonizes the ClutterText behaviour to always
use a composition of the actor's paint opacity and the text
and cursor alpha channel values, thus behaving more
consistently with the rest of Clutter.
When inserting text on a key press event we should also truncate
the selection.
We should not truncate the selection when inserting any Unicode
character, since changing the selection also changes the cursor
position - and one of the invariants we inherited from ClutterEntry
is that inserting characters programmatically does not change the
cursor position.
If a selection has been truncated inside a key binding handler,
we should just return and let the usual key event handler continue.
This fixes the case where we deleted a selection using the Delete
or the Backspace keys.
ClutterText should use the newly added ClutterBindingPool API to
handle key events, instead of its homegrown code.
This commit removes the action/mapping code and defers the entire
key binding matching to a ClutterBindingPool created inside the
Text class initialization function.
The clutter_text_get_chars() function returns a section of the
contents of the Text actor, delimited by a start and an end position.
This commit adds the implementation for that function and a test
unit that guarantees the offset-to-bytes computations are correct.
The :cursor-color-set property is a read-only property that
reflects whether the ClutterText actor is going to use the
color set inside the :cursor-color property when painting
the cursor.
We should re-use the offset_to_bytes() implementation from ClutterEntry
as it guaranteed some behaviour and sanity checks that we want to keep
inside ClutterText.
A ClutterText can be put in "password mode" by setting the
text as "invisible": every character inside the Text actor's
contents will be replaced when building the Pango layout with
a specific Unicode character.
The Unicode character is set to '*' by default, but the user
can be changed using the provided API.
ClutterText should have the same properties as ClutterLabel.
While at it, we can finally fix the disconnect between the wrap
and wrap-mode properties and its accessors, that we perpetuated
from GtkLabel.
The ClutterText:line-wrap property and ClutterText:line-wrap-mode
are mapped to the set_line_wrap(), get_line_wrap() and
set_line_wrap_mode(), get_line_wrap_mode() accessor functions
respectively. This should simplify bindings the Vala ones that
map a property into a method.
ClutterText replaces ClutterLabel, so it should expose the same
kind of API - ideally with the minimal amount of changes, so that
the porting is trivial.
The TidyText actor is meant as a replacement for both ClutterLabel
and ClutterText.
Any text-displaying and editing actor should derive from ClutterText
and implement the various visual cues to differentiate the editable
from the non-editable state. Those visual cues usually belong to
a high-level toolkit, especially if themeing is involved.
