Implemented Interfaces

GooCanvasItemSimple implements GooCanvasItem.

Description

GooCanvasItemSimple is used as a base class for all of the standard canvas items. It can also be used as the base class for new custom canvas items.

It provides default implementations for many of the GooCanvasItem methods.

For very simple items, all that is needed is to implement the create_path() method. (GooCanvasEllipse, GooCanvasRect and GooCanvasPath do this.)

More complicated items need to implement the update(), paint() and is_item_at() methods instead. (GooCanvasImage, GooCanvasPolyline, GooCanvasText and GooCanvasWidget do this.) They may also need to override some of the other GooCanvasItem methods such as set_canvas(), set_parent() or allocate_area() if special code is needed. (GooCanvasWidget does this to make sure the GtkWidget is embedded in the GooCanvas widget correctly.)

Functions

goo_canvas_item_simple_check_style ()

void
goo_canvas_item_simple_check_style (GooCanvasItemSimple *item);

This function is intended to be used by subclasses of GooCanvasItemSimple, typically in their update() or get_requested_area() methods.

It ensures that the item's style is setup correctly. If the item has its own GooCanvasStyle it makes sure the parent is set correctly. If it doesn't have its own style it uses the parent item's style.

Parameters

item

a GooCanvasItemSimple.

 

goo_canvas_item_simple_get_line_width ()

gdouble
goo_canvas_item_simple_get_line_width (GooCanvasItemSimple *item);

Gets the item's line width.

Parameters

item

a GooCanvasItemSimple.

 

Returns

the item's line width.


goo_canvas_item_simple_get_path_bounds ()

void
goo_canvas_item_simple_get_path_bounds
                               (GooCanvasItemSimple *item,
                                cairo_t *cr,
                                GooCanvasBounds *bounds);

This function is intended to be used by subclasses of GooCanvasItemSimple, typically in their update() or get_requested_area() methods.

It calculates the bounds of the current path, using the item's style settings, and stores the results in the given GooCanvasBounds struct.

The returned bounds contains the bounding box of the path in device space, converted to user space coordinates. To calculate the bounds completely in user space, use cairo_identity_matrix() to temporarily reset the current transformation matrix to the identity matrix.

Parameters

item

a GooCanvasItemSimple.

 

cr

a cairo context.

 

bounds

the GooCanvasBounds struct to store the resulting bounding box.

 

goo_canvas_item_simple_user_bounds_to_device ()

void
goo_canvas_item_simple_user_bounds_to_device
                               (GooCanvasItemSimple *item,
                                cairo_t *cr,
                                GooCanvasBounds *bounds);

This function is intended to be used by subclasses of GooCanvasItemSimple, typically in their update() or get_requested_area() methods.

It converts the item's bounds to a bounding box in the canvas (device) coordinate space.

Parameters

item

a GooCanvasItemSimple.

 

cr

a cairo context.

 

bounds

the bounds of the item, in the item's coordinate space.

 

goo_canvas_item_simple_user_bounds_to_parent ()

void
goo_canvas_item_simple_user_bounds_to_parent
                               (GooCanvasItemSimple *item,
                                cairo_t *cr,
                                GooCanvasBounds *bounds);

This function is intended to be used by subclasses of GooCanvasItemSimple, typically in their get_requested_area() method.

It converts the item's bounds to a bounding box in its parent's coordinate space. If the item has no transformation matrix set then no conversion is needed.

Parameters

item

a GooCanvasItemSimple.

 

cr

a cairo context.

 

bounds

the bounds of the item, in the item's coordinate space.

 

goo_canvas_item_simple_check_in_path ()

                                      gdouble x,
                                      gdouble y,
                                      cairo_t *cr,
                                      GooCanvasPointerEvents pointer_events);

This function is intended to be used by subclasses of GooCanvasItemSimple.

It checks if the given point is in the current path, using the item's style settings.

Parameters

item

a GooCanvasItemSimple.

 

x

the x coordinate of the point.

 

y

the y coordinate of the point.

 

cr

a cairo context.

 

pointer_events

specifies which parts of the path to check.

 

Returns

TRUE if the given point is in the current path.


goo_canvas_item_simple_paint_path ()

void
goo_canvas_item_simple_paint_path (GooCanvasItemSimple *item,
                                   cairo_t *cr);

This function is intended to be used by subclasses of GooCanvasItemSimple.

It paints the current path, using the item's style settings.

Parameters

item

a GooCanvasItemSimple.

 

cr

a cairo context.

 

goo_canvas_item_simple_changed ()

void
goo_canvas_item_simple_changed (GooCanvasItemSimple *item,
                                gboolean recompute_bounds);

This function is intended to be used by subclasses of GooCanvasItemSimple.

It is used as a callback for the "changed" signal of the item models. It requests an update or redraw of the item as appropriate.

Parameters

a GooCanvasItemSimple.

 

recompute_bounds

if the item's bounds need to be recomputed.

                                  GooCanvasItemModel *model);

This function should be called by subclasses of GooCanvasItemSimple in their set_model() method.

Parameters

};

The GooCanvasItemSimpleClass struct contains several methods that subclasses can override.

Simple items need only implement the create_path() method. More complex items must override the update(), paint() and is_item_at() methods instead.

Members

simple_create_path ()

simple subclasses that draw basic shapes and paths only need to override this one method. It creates the path for the item. All updating, painting and hit-testing is provided automatically by the GooCanvasItemSimple class. (This method is used by the builtin GooCanvasEllipse, GooCanvasRect and GooCanvasPath items.) More complicated subclasses must override simple_update , simple_paint and simple_is_item_at instead.

 

simple_update ()

subclasses should override this to calculate their new bounds, in user space.

 

simple_paint ()

subclasses should override this to paint their item.

 

simple_is_item_at ()

subclasses should override this to do hit-testing.
