Struct TextMark 

pub struct TextMark { /* private fields */ }

Marks a position in a GtkTextbuffer that is preserved across modifications.

You may wish to begin by reading the text widget conceptual overview, which gives an overview of all the objects and data types related to the text widget and how they work together.

A TextMark is like a bookmark in a text buffer; it preserves a position in the text. You can convert the mark to an iterator using TextBufferExt::iter_at_mark(). Unlike iterators, marks remain valid across buffer mutations, because their behavior is defined when text is inserted or deleted. When text containing a mark is deleted, the mark remains in the position originally occupied by the deleted text. When text is inserted at a mark, a mark with “left gravity” will be moved to the beginning of the newly-inserted text, and a mark with “right gravity” will be moved to the end.

Note that “left” and “right” here refer to logical direction (left is the toward the start of the buffer); in some languages such as Hebrew the logically-leftmost text is not actually on the left when displayed.

Marks are reference counted, but the reference count only controls the validity of the memory; marks can be deleted from the buffer at any time with TextBufferExt::delete_mark(). Once deleted from the buffer, a mark is essentially useless.

Marks optionally have names; these can be convenient to avoid passing the TextMark object around.

Marks are typically created using the TextBufferExt::create_mark() function.

Properties

left-gravity

Whether the mark has left gravity.

When text is inserted at the mark’s current location, if the mark has left gravity it will be moved to the left of the newly-inserted text, otherwise to the right.

name

The name of the mark or None if the mark is anonymous.

Implements

TextMarkExt, [trait@glib::ObjectExt]

GLib type: GObject with reference counted clone semantics.

Implementations

impl TextMark

pub const NONE: Option<&'static TextMark> = None

pub fn new(name: Option<&str>, left_gravity: bool) -> TextMark

Creates a text mark.

Add it to a buffer using TextBufferExt::add_mark(). If @name is None, the mark is anonymous; otherwise, the mark can be retrieved by name using TextBufferExt::mark(). If a mark has left gravity, and text is inserted at the mark’s current location, the mark will be moved to the left of the newly-inserted text. If the mark has right gravity (@left_gravity = false), the mark will end up on the right of newly-inserted text. The standard left-to-right cursor is a mark with right gravity (when you type, the cursor stays on the right side of the text you’re typing).

Returns

new TextMark

pub fn builder() -> TextMarkBuilder

Creates a new builder-pattern struct instance to construct TextMark objects.

This method returns an instance of TextMarkBuilder which can be used to create TextMark objects.

Trait Implementations

impl Clone for TextMark

fn clone(&self) -> Self

Makes a clone of this shared reference.

This increments the strong reference count of the object. Dropping the object will decrement it again.

fn clone_from(&mut self, source: &Self)

Performs copy-assignment from source.

impl Debug for TextMark

fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter<'_>) -> Result

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl Default for TextMark

fn default() -> Self

Returns the “default value” for a type.

impl HasParamSpec for TextMark

type ParamSpec = ParamSpecObject

type SetValue = TextMark

Preferred value to be used as setter for the associated ParamSpec.

type BuilderFn = fn(&str) -> ParamSpecObjectBuilder<'_, TextMark>

fn param_spec_builder() -> Self::BuilderFn

impl Hash for TextMark

fn hash<H>(&self, state: &mut H)

where H: Hasher,

Hashes the memory address of this object.

fn hash_slice<H>(data: &[Self], state: &mut H)

where H: Hasher, Self: Sized,

Feeds a slice of this type into the given Hasher.

impl Ord for TextMark

fn cmp(&self, other: &Self) -> Ordering

Comparison for two GObjects.

Compares the memory addresses of the provided objects.

fn max(self, other: Self) -> Self

where Self: Sized,

Compares and returns the maximum of two values.

fn min(self, other: Self) -> Self

where Self: Sized,

Compares and returns the minimum of two values.

fn clamp(self, min: Self, max: Self) -> Self

where Self: Sized,

Restrict a value to a certain interval.

impl ParentClassIs for TextMark

type Parent = Object

impl<OT: ObjectType> PartialEq<OT> for TextMark

fn eq(&self, other: &OT) -> bool

Equality for two GObjects.

Two GObjects are equal if their memory addresses are equal.

fn ne(&self, other: &Rhs) -> bool

Tests for !=. The default implementation is almost always sufficient, and should not be overridden without very good reason.

impl<OT: ObjectType> PartialOrd<OT> for TextMark

fn partial_cmp(&self, other: &OT) -> Option<Ordering>

Partial comparison for two GObjects.

Compares the memory addresses of the provided objects.

fn lt(&self, other: &Rhs) -> bool

Tests less than (for self and other) and is used by the < operator.

fn le(&self, other: &Rhs) -> bool

Tests less than or equal to (for self and other) and is used by the <= operator.

fn gt(&self, other: &Rhs) -> bool

Tests greater than (for self and other) and is used by the > operator.

fn ge(&self, other: &Rhs) -> bool

Tests greater than or equal to (for self and other) and is used by the >= operator.

impl StaticType for TextMark

fn static_type() -> Type

Returns the type identifier of Self.
