pub fn itemize(
context: &Context,
text: &str,
start_index: i32,
length: i32,
attrs: &AttrList,
cached_iter: Option<&AttrIterator>
) -> Vec<Item>Expand description
Breaks a piece of text into segments with consistent directional level and font.
Each byte of @text will be contained in exactly one of the items in the returned list; the generated list of items will be in logical order (the start offsets of the items are ascending).
@cached_iter should be an iterator over @attrs currently positioned at a range before or containing @start_index; @cached_iter will be advanced to the range covering the position just after @start_index + @length. (i.e. if itemizing in a loop, just keep passing in the same @cached_iter).
context
a structure holding information that affects the itemization process.
text
the text to itemize. Must be valid UTF-8
start_index
first byte in @text to process
length
the number of bytes (not characters) to process after @start_index. This must be >= 0.
attrs
the set of attributes that apply to @text.
cached_iter
Cached attribute iterator
Returns
a GList of
Item structures. The items should be freed using
Pango::Item::free() in combination with GLib::List::free_full().
