# Pango::Item Class Reference

List of all members.

## Detailed Description

A Pango::Item stores information about a segment of text.

Pango::Item is used as an output type only so there is no public default constructor. You retrieve objects of this type by calling Pango::Context::itemize() with some text. The actual rendering of the segment of text that corresponds to a particular Pango::Item (or some sub-string) into a string of glyphs is done with shape(). The segment of text that corresponds to a Pango::Item can be computed from the text passed into Pango::Context::itemize() with get_segment(). Together with the Pango::Analysis data member that can be accessed with get_analysis() it is needed for further calculations in Pango::GlyphString.

## Public Member Functions

| Gets the length of the segment in bytes.
int | get_num_chars () const
| Gets the length of the segment in characters.
int | get_offset () const
| Gets the offset of the segment from the beginning of the string in bytes.
Glib::ustring | get_segment (const Glib::ustring& text) const
| Computes the segment of text that is represented by the item.

## Member Function Documentation

Analysis Pango::Item::get_analysis | ( |  | ) | const

Gets the properties of the segment.

Returns:
  The properties of the segment.

int Pango::Item::get_length | ( |  | ) | const

Gets the length of the segment in bytes.

Returns:
  The length of the segment in bytes.

int Pango::Item::get_num_chars | ( |  | ) | const

Gets the length of the segment in characters.

Returns:
  The length of the semgment in characters.

int Pango::Item::get_offset | ( |  | ) | const

Gets the offset of the segment from the beginning of the string in bytes.

Returns:
  The offset of the segment from the beginning of the string in bytes.

Glib::ustring Pango::Item::get_segment | ( | const Glib::ustring & | text | ) | const

Computes the segment of text that is represented by the item.

Parameters:

  | text | The text that has been passed into Pango::Context::itemize().

Returns:
  The sub-string of text that corresponds to the item.

const PangoItem* Pango::Item::gobj | ( |  | ) | const`[inline]`

Provides access to the underlying C GObject.

PangoItem* Pango::Item::gobj | ( |  | ) | `[inline]`

Provides access to the underlying C GObject.

PangoItem* Pango::Item::gobj_copy | ( |  | ) | const

Provides access to the underlying C GObject. The caller is responsible for freeing it. Use when directly setting fields in structs.

Item& Pango::Item::operator= | ( | const Item& | src | ) |

GlyphString Pango::Item::shape | ( | const Glib::ustring & | text | ) | const

Convert a segment of text into a string of glyphs.

Parameters:

  | text | The text to process. This must either be the whole segment of text that corresponds to the item as returned by get_segment() or a sub-string of that segment. You need to pass the same text to the member functions of Pango::GlyphString for further calculations.

Returns:
  A Pango::GlyphString object that can be measured or drawn.

Item Pango::Item::split | ( | int | split_index,
|  | int | split_offset |
| ) |  |  |

Modifies orig to cover only the text after split_index , and Return value: new item representing text before split_index , which.

Parameters:

  | split_index | Byte index of position to split item, relative to the start of the item.
  | split_offset | Number of chars between start of orig and split_index .

Returns:
  New item representing text before split_index , which should be freed with pango_item_free().
