Parameters

canvas

a GooCanvas.

 

Returns

the current scale setting.


goo_canvas_set_scale ()

void
goo_canvas_set_scale (GooCanvas *canvas,
                      gdouble scale);

goo_canvas_get_item ()

GooCanvasItem *
goo_canvas_get_item (GooCanvas *canvas,
                     GooCanvasItemModel *model);

Gets the canvas item associated with the given GooCanvasItemModel. This is only useful when goo_canvas_set_root_item_model() has been used to set a model for the canvas.

For simple applications you can use goo_canvas_get_item() to set up signal handlers for your items, e.g.

1
2
3
item = goo_canvas_get_item (GOO_CANVAS (canvas), my_item);
g_signal_connect (item, "button_press_event",

More complex applications may want to use the “item-created” signal to hook up their signal handlers.

Parameters

canvas

a GooCanvas.

 

model

a GooCanvasItemModel.

 

Returns

the canvas item corresponding to the given GooCanvasItemModel, or NULL if no canvas item has been created for it yet.

goo_canvas_create_cairo_context ()

cairo_t *
goo_canvas_create_cairo_context (GooCanvas *canvas);

Creates a cairo context, initialized with the default canvas settings. Note that this context should not be used for drawing. It should only be used for calculating bounds of items.

Parameters

canvas

a GooCanvas.

 

Returns

a new cairo context. It should be freed with cairo_destroy().


goo_canvas_create_item ()

GooCanvasItem *
goo_canvas_create_item (GooCanvas *canvas,
                        GooCanvasItemModel *model);

This function is only intended to be used when implementing new canvas items, typically container items such as GooCanvasGroup.

It creates a new canvas item for the given item model, and recursively creates items for any children.

It uses the create_item() virtual method if it has been set. Subclasses of GooCanvas can define this method if they want to use custom views for items.

It emits the “item-created” signal after creating the view, so application code can connect signal handlers to the new view if desired.

Parameters

canvas

a GooCanvas.

 

model

the item model to create a canvas item for.

 

Returns

a new canvas item.

Parameters

This function should only be used by GooCanvasWidget and subclass implementations.

It registers a widget item with the canvas, so that the canvas can do the necessary actions to move and resize the widget as needed.

Parameters

canvas

a GooCanvas.

 

witem

a GooCanvasWidget item.

 

goo_canvas_unregister_widget_item ()

void
goo_canvas_unregister_widget_item (GooCanvas *canvas,

Parameters

canvas

a GooCanvas.

 

witem

a GooCanvasWidget item.

 

goo_canvas_update ()

void
goo_canvas_update (GooCanvas *canvas);

This function is only intended to be used by subclasses of GooCanvas or GooCanvasItem implementations.

Parameters

canvas

a GooCanvas.

 

goo_canvas_request_update ()

void
goo_canvas_request_update (GooCanvas *canvas);

This function is only intended to be used by subclasses of GooCanvas or GooCanvasItem implementations.

It schedules an update of the GooCanvas. This will be performed in the idle loop, after all pending events have been handled, but before the canvas has been repainted.

Parameters

canvas

a GooCanvas.

 

goo_canvas_request_redraw ()

void
goo_canvas_request_redraw (GooCanvas *canvas,
                           const GooCanvasBounds *bounds);

This function is only intended to be used by subclasses of GooCanvas or GooCanvasItem implementations.

Requests that the given bounds be redrawn. The bounds must be in the canvas coordinate space.

Parameters

canvas

a GooCanvas.

 

bounds

the bounds to redraw, in device space.

 

goo_canvas_request_item_redraw ()

void
goo_canvas_request_item_redraw (GooCanvas *canvas,
                                const GooCanvasBounds *bounds,
                                gboolean is_static);

This function is only intended to be used by subclasses of GooCanvas or GooCanvasItem implementations.

Requests that the given bounds be redrawn. If is_static is TRUE the bounds are assumed to be in the static item coordinate space, otherwise they are assumed to be in the canvas coordinate space.

If is_static is FALSE this function behaves the same as goo_canvas_request_redraw().

Parameters

canvas

a GooCanvas.

 

bounds

the bounds of the item to redraw.

 

is_static

if the item is static.

 

goo_canvas_get_default_line_width ()

gdouble
goo_canvas_get_default_line_width (GooCanvas *canvas);

Parameters

canvas

a GooCanvas.

 

Returns

the default line width of the canvas.

Types and Values

GooCanvas

typedef struct _GooCanvas GooCanvas;

The GooCanvas struct contains private data only.


struct GooCanvasClass

struct GooCanvasClass {
  GooCanvasItem* (* create_item)	    (GooCanvas          *canvas,
					     GooCanvasItemModel *model);

  /* Signals. */
  void           (* item_created)	    (GooCanvas          *canvas,
