Struct gtk4::Inscription

#[repr(transparent)]
pub struct Inscription { /* private fields */ }

Available on crate feature v4_8 only.

Inscription is a widget to show text in a predefined area.

You likely want to use Label instead as this widget is intended only for a small subset of use cases. The main scenario envisaged is inside lists such as ColumnView.

While a Label sizes itself depending on the text that is displayed, Inscription is given a size and inscribes the given text into that space as well as it can.

Users of this widget should take care to plan behaviour for the common case where the text doesn’t fit exactly in the allocated space, .

Properties

attributes

A list of style attributes to apply to the text of the inscription.

Readable | Writeable

markup

Utility property that sets both the text and attributes properties, mainly intended for use in GtkBuilder ui files to ease translation support and bindings.

This function uses parse_markup() to parse the markup into text and attributes. The markup must be valid. If you cannot ensure that, consider using parse_markup() and setting the two properties yourself.

Writeable

min-chars

The number of characters that should fit into the inscription at minimum.

This influences the requested width, not the width actually given to the widget, which might turn out to be larger.

Note that this is an approximate character width, so some characters might be wider and some might be thinner, so do not expect the number of characters to exactly match.

If you set this property to 0, the inscription will not request any width at all and its width will be determined entirely by its surroundings.

Readable | Writeable

min-lines

The number of lines that should fit into the inscription at minimum.

This influences the requested height, not the height actually given to the widget, which might turn out to be larger.

Note that this is an approximate line height, so if the text uses things like fancy Unicode or attribute that influence the height, the text might not fit.

If you set this property to 0, the inscription will not request any height at all and its height will be determined entirely by its surroundings.

Readable | Writeable

nat-chars

The number of characters that should ideally fit into the inscription.

This influences the requested width, not the width actually given to the widget. The widget might turn out larger as well as smaller.

If this property is set to a value smaller than min-chars, that value will be used. In particular, for the default value of 0, this will always be the case.

Readable | Writeable

nat-lines

The number of lines that should ideally fit into the inscription.

This influences the requested height, not the height actually given to the widget. The widget might turn out larger as well as smaller.

If this property is set to a value smaller than min-lines, that value will be used. In particular, for the default value of 0, this will always be the case.

Readable | Writeable

text

The displayed text.

Readable | Writeable

text-overflow

The overflow method to use for the text.

Readable | Writeable

wrap-mode

Controls how the line wrapping is done.

Note that unlike Label, the default here is pango::WrapMode::WordChar.

Readable | Writeable

xalign

The horizontal alignment of the text inside the allocated size.

Compare this to halign, which determines how the inscription’s size allocation is positioned in the available space.

Readable | Writeable

yalign

The vertical alignment of the text inside the allocated size.

Compare this to valign, which determines how the inscription’s size allocation is positioned in the available space.

Readable | Writeable

Widget

can-focus

Whether the widget or any of its descendents can accept the input focus.

This property is meant to be set by widget implementations, typically in their instance init function.

Readable | Writeable

can-target

Whether the widget can receive pointer events.

Readable | Writeable

css-classes

A list of css classes applied to this widget.

Readable | Writeable

focus-on-click

Whether the widget should grab focus when it is clicked with the mouse.

This property is only relevant for widgets that can take focus.

Readable | Writeable

focusable

Whether this widget itself will accept the input focus.

Readable | Writeable

halign

Readable

has-focus

Whether the widget has the input focus.

Readable

has-tooltip

Enables or disables the emission of the ::query-tooltip signal on @widget.

A value of true indicates that @widget can have a tooltip, in this case the widget will be queried using query-tooltip to determine whether it will provide a tooltip or not.

Readable | Writeable

height-request

Override for height request of the widget.

If this is -1, the natural request will be used.

Readable | Writeable

hexpand

Whether to expand horizontally.

Readable | Writeable

hexpand-set

Whether to use the hexpand property.

Readable | Writeable

layout-manager

The LayoutManager instance to use to compute the preferred size of the widget, and allocate its children.

This property is meant to be set by widget implementations, typically in their instance init function.

Readable | Writeable

margin-bottom

Margin on bottom side of widget.

This property adds margin outside of the widget’s normal size request, the margin will be added in addition to the size from WidgetExt::set_size_request() for example.

Readable | Writeable

margin-end

Margin on end of widget, horizontally.

This property supports left-to-right and right-to-left text directions.

This property adds margin outside of the widget’s normal size request, the margin will be added in addition to the size from WidgetExt::set_size_request() for example.

tooltip-markup

Sets the text of tooltip to be the given string, which is marked up with Pango markup.

Also see Tooltip::set_markup().

This is a convenience property which will take care of getting the tooltip shown if the given string is not None: has-tooltip will automatically be set to true and there will be taken care of query-tooltip in the default signal handler.

Note that if both tooltip-text and tooltip-markup are set, the last one wins.
