Static$gtypeSplits a shaped item (Pango.GlyphItem) into multiple items based on an attribute list.
The idea is that if you have attributes that don't affect shaping, such as color or underline, to avoid affecting shaping, you filter them out (Pango.AttrList.filter), apply the shaping process and then reapply them to the result using this function.
All attributes that start or end inside a cluster are applied
to that cluster; for instance, if half of a cluster is underlined
and the other-half strikethrough, then the cluster will end
up with both underline and strikethrough attributes. In these
cases, it may happen that item->extra_attrs for some of the
result items can have multiple attributes of the same type.
This function takes ownership of glyph_item; it will be reused
as one of the elements in the list.
text that list applies to
a list of glyph items resulting from splitting glyph_item. Free the elements using Pango.GlyphItem.free, the list using g_slist_free().
Make a deep copy of an existing Pango.GlyphItem structure.
the newly allocated Pango.GlyphItem
Frees a Pango.GlyphItem and resources to which it points.
Given a Pango.GlyphItem and the corresponding text, determine the width corresponding to each character.
When multiple characters compose a single cluster, the width of the entire cluster is divided equally among the characters.
See also Pango.GlyphString.get_logical_widths.
text that glyph_item corresponds to (glyph_item->item->offset is an offset from the start of text)
Adds spacing between the graphemes of glyph_item to
give the effect of typographic letter spacing.
text that glyph_item corresponds to (glyph_item->item->offset is an offset from the start of text)
logical attributes for the item (the first logical attribute refers to the position before the first character in the item)
amount of letter spacing to add in Pango units. May be negative, though too large negative values will give ugly results.
Modifies orig to cover only the text after split_index, and
returns a new item that covers the text before split_index that
used to be in orig.
You can think of split_index as the length of the returned item.
split_index may not be 0, and it may not be greater than or equal
to the length of orig (that is, there must be at least one byte
assigned to each item, you can't create a zero-length item).
This function is similar in function to pango_item_split() (and uses
it internally.)
text to which positions in orig apply
byte index of position to split item, relative to the start of the item
the newly allocated item representing text before split_index, which should be freed with pango_glyph_item_free().
A Pango.GlyphItem is a pair of a Pango.Item and the glyphs resulting from shaping the items text.
As an example of the usage of Pango.GlyphItem, the results of shaping text with Pango.Layout is a list of Pango.LayoutLine, each of which contains a list of Pango.GlyphItem.
