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.

canvas :

 a GooCanvas.

model :

 the item model to create a canvas item for.

Returns :

 a new canvas item.

goo_canvas_unregister_item ()

void                goo_canvas_unregister_item          (GooCanvas *canvas,

This function is only intended to be used when implementing new canvas items.

It should be called in the finalize method of GooCanvasItem objects, to remove the canvas item from the GooCanvas's hash table.

canvas :

 a GooCanvas.

model :

 the item model whose canvas item is being finalized.

goo_canvas_register_widget_item ()

void                goo_canvas_register_widget_item     (GooCanvas *canvas,
                                                         GooCanvasWidget *witem);

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.

canvas :

 a GooCanvas.

witem :

 a GooCanvasWidget item.

goo_canvas_unregister_widget_item ()

void                goo_canvas_unregister_widget_item   (GooCanvas *canvas,
                                                         GooCanvasWidget *witem);

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

It unregisters a widget item from the canvas, when the item is no longer in the canvas.

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.

It updates any items that need updating.

If the bounds of items change, they will request a redraw of the old and new bounds so the display is updated correctly.

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.

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.

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().

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);

Gets the default line width, which depends on the current units setting.

canvas :

 a GooCanvas.

Returns :

 the default line width of the canvas.
