GooCanvasText represents a text item.
It is a subclass of GooCanvasItemSimple and so inherits all of the style properties such as "fill-color".
It also implements the GooCanvasItem interface, so you can use the
GooCanvasItem functions such as goo_canvas_item_raise()
and
goo_canvas_item_rotate()
.
To create a GooCanvasText use goo_canvas_text_new()
.
To get or set the properties of an existing GooCanvasText, use
g_object_get()
and g_object_set()
.
typedef struct _GooCanvasText GooCanvasText;
The GooCanvasText struct contains private data only.
GooCanvasItem* goo_canvas_text_new (GooCanvasItem *parent, const char *string, gdouble x, gdouble y, gdouble width, GtkAnchorType anchor, ...);
Creates a new text item.
parent : |
the parent item, or NULL . If a parent is specified, it will assume
ownership of the item, and the item will automatically be freed when it is
removed from the parent. Otherwise call g_object_unref() to free it.
|
string : |
the text to display. |
x : |
the x coordinate of the text. |
y : |
the y coordinate of the text. |
width : |
the width of the text item, or -1 for unlimited width. |
anchor : |
the position of the text relative to the given x and y
coordinates. For example an anchor of GDK_ANCHOR_NW will result in the
top-left of the text being placed at the given x and y coordinates.
An anchor of GDK_ANCHOR_CENTER will result in the center of the text being
placed at the x and y coordinates.
|
... : |
optional pairs of property names and values, and a terminating NULL .
|
Returns : | a new text item. |
Here's an example showing how to create a text item with the bottom right of the text box placed at (500,500):
GooCanvasItem *text = goo_canvas_text_new (mygroup, "Hello World", 500.0, 500.0, 200.0, GTK_ANCHOR_SE, "fill-color", "blue", NULL);

anchor
" property"anchor" GtkAnchorType : Read / Write

ellipsize
" property"ellipsize" PangoEllipsizeMode : Read / Write
The preferred place to ellipsize the string, if the label does not have enough room to display the entire string.
Default value: PANGO_ELLIPSIZE_NONE
use-markup
" property"use-markup" gboolean : Read / Write
Whether to parse PangoMarkup in the text, to support different styles.
