Detailed Description

       Drawing M-texts on a window.

       The m17n GUI API provides functions to draw M-texts.

       The fonts used for drawing are selected automatically based on the fontset and the properties of a face.
       A face also specifies the appearance of M-texts, i.e. font size, color, underline, etc.

       The drawing format of M-texts can be controlled in a variety of ways, which provides powerful
       2-dimensional layout facility.

Data Structure Documentation

MDrawControl
Type of a text drawing control.

FIELD DOCUMENTATION:

unsigned MDrawControl::as_image If nonzero, draw an M-text as image, i.e. with background filled with
background colors of faces put on the M-text. Otherwise, the background is not changed.

unsigned MDrawControl::align_head If nonzero and the first glyph of each line has negative lbearing,
shift glyphs horizontally to right so that no pixel is drawn to the left of the specified position.

unsigned MDrawControl::two_dimensional If nonzero, draw an M-text two-dimensionally, i.e., newlines in
M-text breaks lines and the following characters are drawn in the next line. If <format> is non-NULL, and
the function returns nonzero line width, a line longer than that width is also broken.

unsigned MDrawControl::orientation_reversed If nonzero, draw an M-text to the right of a specified
position.

unsigned MDrawControl::enable_bidi If nonzero, reorder glyphs correctly for bidi text.

unsigned MDrawControl::ignore_formatting_char If nonzero, don't draw characters whose general category
(in Unicode) is Cf (Other, format).

unsigned MDrawControl::fixed_width If nonzero, draw glyphs suitable for a terminal. Not yet implemented.

unsigned MDrawControl::anti_alias If nonzero, draw glyphs with anti-aliasing if a backend font driver
supports it.

unsigned MDrawControl::disable_overlapping_adjustment If nonzero, disable the adjustment of glyph
positions to avoid horizontal overlapping at font boundary.

unsigned int MDrawControl::min_line_ascent If nonzero, the values are minimum line ascent pixels.

unsigned int MDrawControl::min_line_descent If nonzero, the values are minimum line descent pixels.

unsigned int MDrawControl::max_line_ascent If nonzero, the values are maximum line ascent pixels.

unsigned int MDrawControl::max_line_descent If nonzero, the values are maximum line descent pixels.

unsigned int MDrawControl::max_line_width If nonzero, the value specifies how many pixels each line can
occupy on the display. The value zero means that there is no limit. It is ignored if <format> is
non-NULL.

unsigned int MDrawControl::tab_width If nonzero, the value specifies the distance between tab stops in
columns (the width of one column is the width of a space in the default font of the frame). The value
zero means

void(* MDrawControl::format) (int line, int y, int *indent, int *width) If non-NULL, the value is a
function that calculates the indentation and width limit of each line based on the line number LINE and
the coordinate Y. The function store the indentation and width limit at the place pointed by INDENT and
WIDTH respectively.

The indentation specifies how many pixels the first glyph of each line is shifted to the right (if the
member <orientation_reversed> is zero) or to the left (otherwise). If the value is negative, each line is
shifted to the reverse direction.

The width limit specifies how many pixels each line can occupy on the display. The value 0 means that
there is no limit.

LINE and Y are reset to 0 when a line is broken by a newline character, and incremented each time when a
long line is broken because of the width limit.

This has an effect only when <two_dimensional> is nonzero.

int(* MDrawControl::line_break) (MText *mt, int pos, int from, int to, int line, int y) If non-NULL, the
value is a function that calculates a line breaking position when a line is too long to fit within the
width limit. POS is the position of the character next to the last one that fits within the limit. FROM
is the position of the first character of the line, and TO is the position of the last character
displayed on the line if there were not width limit. LINE and Y are the same as the arguments to
<format>.

The function must return a character position to break the line.

The function should not modify MT.

The mdraw_default_line_break() function is useful for such a script that uses SPACE as a word separator.

int MDrawControl::with_cursor If nonzero, show the cursor according to <cursor_width>.

int MDrawControl::cursor_pos Specifies the character position to display a cursor. If it is greater than
the maximum character position, the cursor is displayed next to the last character of an M-text. If the
value is negative, even if <cursor_width> is nonzero, cursor is not displayed.

int MDrawControl::cursor_width If nonzero, display a cursor at the character position <cursor_pos>. If
the value is positive, it is the pixel width of the cursor. If the value is negative, the cursor width is
the same as the underlining glyph(s).

int MDrawControl::cursor_bidi If nonzero and <cursor_width> is also nonzero, display double bar cursors;
at the character position <cursor_pos> and at the logically previous character. Both cursors have one
pixel width with horizontal fringes at upper or lower positions.

int MDrawControl::partial_update If nonzero, on drawing partial text, pixels of surrounding texts that
intrude into the drawing area are also drawn. For instance, some CVC sequence of Thai text (C is
consonant, V is upper vowel) is drawn so that V is placed over the middle of two Cs. If this CVC sequence
is already drawn and only the last C is drawn again (for instance by updating cursor position), the right
half of V is erased if this member is zero. By setting this member to nonzero, even with such a drawing,
we can keep this CVC sequence correctly displayed.

int MDrawControl::disable_caching If nonzero, don't cache the result of any drawing information of an
M-text.

MDrawRegion MDrawControl::clip_region If non-NULL, limit the drawing effect to the specified region.

MDrawMetric

int MDrawMetric::y Y coordinates of a glyph or a text.

unsigned int MDrawMetric::width Pixel width of a glyph or a text.

unsigned int MDrawMetric::height Pixel height of a glyph or a text.

need the members next_from because it must be the same as the member <to> respectively.

member is Mx, FT_Face if <font_type> member is Mfreetype, and (XftFont *) if <font_type> member is Mxft.

Typedef Documentation

   typedef void* MDrawWindow
       Window system dependent type for a window. The type MDrawWindow is for a window; a rectangular area that
       works in several ways like a miniature screen.

       What it actually points depends on a window system. A program that uses the m17n-X library must coerce
       the type Drawable to this type.

   typedef void* MDrawRegion
       Window system dependent type for a region. The type MDrawRegion is for a region; an arbitrary set of
       pixels on the screen (typically a rectangular area).

       What it actually points depends on a window system. A program that uses the m17n-X library must coerce
       the type Region to this type.

Variable Documentation

   int mdraw_line_break_option
       Option of line breaking for drawing text. The variable mdraw_line_break_option specifies line breaking
       options by logical-or of the members of MTextLineBreakOption. It controls the line breaking algorithm of
       the function mdraw_default_line_break().
