## Description

Attributed text is used in a number of places in Pango. It is used as the input to the itemization process and also when creating a PangoLayout. The data types and functions in this section are used to represent and manipulate sets of attributes applied to a portion of text.

## Details

### enum PangoAttrType

    typedef enum
    {
      PANGO_ATTR_INVALID,           /* 0 is an invalid attribute type */
      PANGO_ATTR_LANGUAGE,		/* PangoAttrLanguage */

      PANGO_ATTR_VARIANT,		/* PangoAttrInt */
      PANGO_ATTR_STRETCH,		/* PangoAttrInt */

      PANGO_ATTR_GRAVITY,		/* PangoAttrInt */
      PANGO_ATTR_GRAVITY_HINT	/* PangoAttrInt */
    } PangoAttrType;

The PangoAttrType distinguishes between different types of attributes. Along with the predefined values, it is possible to allocate additional values for custom attributes using `pango_attr_type_register()`. The predefined values are given below. The type of structure used to store the attribute is listed in parentheses after the description.

`PANGO_ATTR_INVALID` | does not happen
`PANGO_ATTR_LANGUAGE` | language (PangoAttrLanguage)
`PANGO_ATTR_FAMILY` | font family name list (PangoAttrString)
`PANGO_ATTR_STYLE` | font slant style (PangoAttrInt)
`PANGO_ATTR_WEIGHT` | font weight (PangoAttrInt)
`PANGO_ATTR_VARIANT` | font variant (normal or small caps) (PangoAttrInt)
`PANGO_ATTR_STRETCH` | font stretch (PangoAttrInt)
`PANGO_ATTR_SIZE` | font size in points scaled by `PANGO_SCALE` (PangoAttrInt)
`PANGO_ATTR_FONT_DESC` | font description (PangoAttrFontDesc)
`PANGO_ATTR_FOREGROUND` | foreground color (PangoAttrColor)
`PANGO_ATTR_BACKGROUND` | background color (PangoAttrColor)
`PANGO_ATTR_UNDERLINE` | whether the text has an underline (PangoAttrInt)
`PANGO_ATTR_STRIKETHROUGH` | whether the text is struck-through (PangoAttrInt)
`PANGO_ATTR_RISE` | baseline displacement (PangoAttrInt)
`PANGO_ATTR_SHAPE` | shape (PangoAttrShape)
`PANGO_ATTR_SCALE` | font size scale factor (PangoAttrFloat)
`PANGO_ATTR_FALLBACK` | whether fallback is enabled (PangoAttrInt)
`PANGO_ATTR_LETTER_SPACING` | letter spacing (PangoAttrInt)
`PANGO_ATTR_UNDERLINE_COLOR` | underline color (PangoAttrColor)
`PANGO_ATTR_STRIKETHROUGH_COLOR` | strikethrough color (PangoAttrColor)
`PANGO_ATTR_ABSOLUTE_SIZE` | font size in pixels scaled by `PANGO_SCALE` (PangoAttrInt)
`PANGO_ATTR_GRAVITY` | base text gravity (PangoAttrInt)
`PANGO_ATTR_GRAVITY_HINT` | gravity hint (PangoAttrInt)

### PANGO_TYPE_ATTR_TYPE

    #define PANGO_TYPE_ATTR_TYPE (pango_attr_type_get_type())

The GObject type for PangoAttrType.

### PangoAttrClass

    typedef struct {
      PangoAttrType type;
      PangoAttribute * (*copy) (const PangoAttribute *attr);
      void             (*destroy) (PangoAttribute *attr);
      gboolean         (*equal) (const PangoAttribute *attr1, const PangoAttribute *attr2);
    } PangoAttrClass;

The PangoAttrClass structure stores the type and operations for a particular type of attribute. The functions in this structure should not be called directly. Instead, one should use the wrapper functions provided for PangoAttribute.

PangoAttrType `type`; | the type ID for this attribute
`copy` () | function to duplicate an attribute of this type (see `pango_attribute_copy()`)
`destroy` () | function to free an attribute of this type (see `pango_attribute_destroy()`)
`equal` () | function to check two attributes of this type for equality (see `pango_attribute_equal()`)

### PangoAttribute

    typedef struct {
      const PangoAttrClass *klass;
      guint start_index;	/* in bytes */
      guint end_index;	/* in bytes. The character at this index is not included */
    } PangoAttribute;

The PangoAttribute structure represents the common portions of all attributes. Particular types of attributes include this structure as their initial portion. The common portion of the attribute holds the range to which the value in the type-specific part of the attribute applies and should be initialized using `pango_attribute_init()`. By default an attribute will have an all-inclusive range of [0,`G_MAXUINT`].

const PangoAttrClass *`klass`; | the class structure holding information about the type of the attribute
guint `start_index`; | the start index of the range (in bytes).
guint `end_index`; | end index of the range (in bytes). The character at this index is not included in the range.

### PANGO_ATTR_INDEX_FROM_TEXT_BEGINNING

    #define PANGO_ATTR_INDEX_FROM_TEXT_BEGINNING	0

This value can be used to set the start_index member of a PangoAttribute such that the attribute covers from the beginning of the text.

Since: 1.24

### PANGO_ATTR_INDEX_TO_TEXT_END

    #define PANGO_ATTR_INDEX_TO_TEXT_END		G_MAXUINT

This value can be used to set the end_index member of a PangoAttribute such that the attribute covers to the end of the text.

Since: 1.24

### PangoAttrString

    typedef struct {
      PangoAttribute attr;
      char *value;
    } PangoAttrString;

The PangoAttrString structure is used to represent attributes with a string value.

PangoAttribute `attr`; | the common portion of the attribute
char *`value`; | the string which is the value of the attribute

### PangoAttrLanguage

    typedef struct {
      PangoAttribute attr;
      PangoLanguage *value;
    } PangoAttrLanguage;

The PangoAttrLanguage structure is used to represent attributes that are languages.

PangoAttribute `attr`; | the common portion of the attribute
PangoLanguage *`value`; | the PangoLanguage which is the value of the attribute

### PangoAttrColor

    typedef struct {
      PangoAttribute attr;
      PangoColor color;
    } PangoAttrColor;

The PangoAttrColor structure is used to represent attributes that are colors.

PangoAttribute `attr`; | the common portion of the attribute
PangoColor `color`; | the PangoColor which is the value of the attribute

### PangoAttrInt

    typedef struct {
      PangoAttribute attr;
      int value;
    } PangoAttrInt;

The PangoAttrInt structure is used to represent attributes with an integer or enumeration value.

PangoAttribute `attr`; | the common portion of the attribute
int `value`; | the value of the attribute

### PangoAttrFloat

    typedef struct {
      PangoAttribute attr;
      double value;
    } PangoAttrFloat;

The PangoAttrFloat structure is used to represent attributes with a float or double value.

PangoAttribute `attr`; | the common portion of the attribute
double `value`; | the value of the attribute

### PangoAttrFontDesc

    typedef struct {
      PangoAttribute attr;
      PangoFontDescription *desc;
    } PangoAttrFontDesc;

The PangoAttrFontDesc structure is used to store an attribute that sets all aspects of the font description at once.

PangoAttribute `attr`; | the common portion of the attribute
PangoFontDescription *`desc`; | the font description which is the value of this attribute

### PangoAttrShape

    typedef struct {
      PangoAttribute attr;

Parses marked-up text (see markup format) to create a plain-text string and an attribute list.

If `accel_marker` is nonzero, the given character will mark the character following it as an accelerator. For example, `accel_marker` might be an ampersand or underscore. All characters marked as an accelerator will receive a `PANGO_UNDERLINE_LOW` attribute, and the first character so marked will be returned in `accel_char`. Two `accel_marker` characters following each other produce a single literal `accel_marker` character.

If any error happens, none of the output arguments are touched except for `error`.

    PangoAttrList *     pango_attr_list_copy                (PangoAttrList *list);

Copy `list` and return an identical new list.

`list` : | a PangoAttrList, may be `NULL`
Returns : | the newly allocated PangoAttrList, with a reference count of one, which should be freed with `pango_attr_list_unref()`. Returns `NULL` if `list` was `NULL`.

### pango_attr_list_insert ()

    void                pango_attr_list_insert              (PangoAttrList *list,
                                                             PangoAttribute *attr);

Insert the given attribute into the PangoAttrList. It will be inserted after all other attributes with a matching `start_index`.

`list` : | a PangoAttrList
`attr` : | the attribute to insert. Ownership of this value is assumed by the list.

### pango_attr_list_insert_before ()

    void                pango_attr_list_insert_before       (PangoAttrList *list,
                                                             PangoAttribute *attr);

Insert the given attribute into the PangoAttrList. It will be inserted before all other attributes with a matching `start_index`.

`list` : | a PangoAttrList
`attr` : | the attribute to insert. Ownership of this value is assumed by the list.

### pango_attr_list_change ()

    void                pango_attr_list_change              (PangoAttrList *list,
                                                             PangoAttribute *attr);

Insert the given attribute into the PangoAttrList. It will replace any attributes of the same type on that segment and be merged with any adjoining attributes that are identical.

This function is slower than `pango_attr_list_insert()` for creating a attribute list in order (potentially much slower for large lists). However, `pango_attr_list_insert()` is not suitable for continually changing a set of attributes since it never removes or combines existing attributes.

`list` : | a PangoAttrList
`attr` : | the attribute to insert. Ownership of this value is assumed by the list.

### pango_attr_list_splice ()

    void                pango_attr_list_splice              (PangoAttrList *list,
                                                             PangoAttrList *other,
                                                             gint pos,
                                                             gint len);

This function opens up a hole in `list`, fills it in with attributes from the left, and then merges `other` on top of the hole.

This operation is equivalent to stretching every attribute that applies at position `pos` in `list` by an amount `len`, and then calling `pango_attr_list_change()` with a copy of each attribute in `other` in sequence (offset in position by `pos`).

This operation proves useful for, for instance, inserting a pre-edit string in the middle of an edit buffer.

`list` : | a PangoAttrList
`other` : | another PangoAttrList
`pos` : | the position in `list` at which to insert `other`
`len` : | the length of the spliced segment. (Note that this must be specified since the attributes in `other` may only be present at some subsection of this range)

### pango_attr_list_filter ()

    PangoAttrList *     pango_attr_list_filter              (PangoAttrList *list,
                                                             PangoAttrFilterFunc func,
                                                             gpointer data);

Given a PangoAttrList and callback function, removes any elements of `list` for which `func` returns `TRUE` and inserts them into a new list.

`list` : | a PangoAttrList
`func` : | callback function; returns `TRUE` if an attribute should be filtered out.
`data` : | Data to be passed to `func`
Returns : | the new PangoAttrList or `NULL` if no attributes of the given types were found.

Since 1.2

### PangoAttrFilterFunc ()

    gboolean            (*PangoAttrFilterFunc)              (PangoAttribute *attribute,
                                                             gpointer data);

A predicate function used by `pango_attr_list_filter()` to filter out a subset of attributes for a list.

`attribute` : | a PangoAttribute
`data` : | callback data passed to `pango_attr_list_filter()`
Returns : | %TRUE if the attribute should be filtered out

### pango_attr_list_get_iterator ()

    PangoAttrIterator * pango_attr_list_get_iterator        (PangoAttrList *list);

Create a iterator initialized to the beginning of the list. `list` must not be modified until this iterator is freed.

`list` : | a PangoAttrList
Returns : | the newly allocated PangoAttrIterator, which should be freed with `pango_attr_iterator_destroy()`.

### PangoAttrIterator

    typedef struct _PangoAttrIterator PangoAttrIterator;

The PangoAttrIterator structure is used to represent an iterator through a PangoAttrList. A new iterator is created with `pango_attr_list_get_iterator()`. Once the iterator is created, it can be advanced through the style changes in the text using `pango_attr_iterator_next()`. At each style change, the range of the current style segment and the attributes currently in effect can be queried.

### pango_attr_iterator_copy ()

    PangoAttrIterator * pango_attr_iterator_copy            (PangoAttrIterator *iterator);

Copy a PangoAttrIterator

`iterator` : | a PangoAttrIterator.
Returns : | the newly allocated PangoAttrIterator, which should be freed with `pango_attr_iterator_destroy()`.

### pango_attr_iterator_next ()

    gboolean            pango_attr_iterator_next            (PangoAttrIterator *iterator);

Advance the iterator until the next change of style.

`iterator` : | a PangoAttrIterator
Returns : | `FALSE` if the iterator is at the end of the list, otherwise `TRUE`

### pango_attr_iterator_range ()

    void                pango_attr_iterator_range           (PangoAttrIterator *iterator,
                                                             gint *start,
                                                             gint *end);

Get the range of the current segment. Note that the stored return values are signed, not unsigned like the values in PangoAttribute. To deal with this API oversight, stored return values that wouldn't fit into a signed integer are clamped to `G_MAXINT`.

`iterator` : | a PangoAttrIterator
`start` : | location to store the start of the range
`end` : | location to store the end of the range

### pango_attr_iterator_get ()

    PangoAttribute *    pango_attr_iterator_get             (PangoAttrIterator *iterator,
                                                             PangoAttrType type);

Find the current attribute of a particular type at the iterator location. When multiple attributes of the same type overlap, the attribute whose range starts closest to the current location is used.

`iterator` : | a PangoAttrIterator
`type` : | the type of attribute to find.
Returns : | the current attribute of the given type, or `NULL` if no attribute of that type applies to the current location.

### pango_attr_iterator_get_font ()

    void                pango_attr_iterator_get_font        (PangoAttrIterator *iterator,
                                                             PangoFontDescription *desc,
                                                             PangoLanguage **language,
                                                             GSList **extra_attrs);

Get the font and other attributes at the current iterator position.

`iterator` : | a PangoAttrIterator
`desc` : | a PangoFontDescription to fill in with the current values. The family name in this structure will be set using `pango_font_description_set_family_static()` using values from an attribute in the PangoAttrList associated with the iterator, so if you plan to keep it around, you must call: `pango_font_description_set_family (desc, pango_font_description_get_family (desc))`.
`language` : | if non-`NULL`, location to store language tag for item, or `NULL` if none is found.
`extra_attrs` : | element type Pango.Attribute): (transfer full. element type Pango.Attribute): (transfer full.

### pango_attr_iterator_get_attrs ()

    GSList *            pango_attr_iterator_get_attrs       (PangoAttrIterator *iterator);

Gets a list of all attributes at the current position of the iterator.

`iterator` : | a PangoAttrIterator
Returns : | element-type Pango.Attribute): (transfer full. element-type Pango.Attribute): (transfer full.

Since 1.2

### pango_attr_iterator_destroy ()

    void                pango_attr_iterator_destroy         (PangoAttrIterator *iterator);

Destroy a PangoAttrIterator and free all associated memory.

`iterator` : | a PangoAttrIterator.
