Detailed Description

Palette for the annotated text gadget.

Library: ilvatext
An instance of the IlvATPalette (also called a Text Palette) class contains graphical and text formatting information used to display zones of an IlvAnnoText object. Each IlvATZone of an IlvAnnoText object is associated with a Text Palette to draw the textual information contained the text zone.

The graphical resources for drawing (color, font, ...) are specified by an IlvATPalette.

The IlvATPalette class defines the following formatting attributes:

• line spacing: indicates the vertical space between the base lines of two consecutive lines in a paragraph.
• right margin: indicates the right margin of a paragraph.
• left margin: indicates the left margin of a paragraph.
• first line offset: indicates the horizontal offset of the first line of a paragraph. A negative value means that the first line is offset to the left.
• space before: indicates the vertical space to be left empty before a paragraph.
• space after: indicates the vertical space to be left empty after a paragraph.
• vertical offset: indicates the vertical offset above the base line (below if the value is negative). This allows you to use superscripts and subscripts.
• visible: Boolean value indicating the visibility of text characters. If IlFalse, the text is not drawn.
• drawing background: Boolean value indicating whether a background color must be used under the text characters.
• line wrapping: indicates the way to perform line wrapping when drawing text. The different modes are:
  • IlvCharWrap: the text can be cut anywhere.
  • IlvWordWrap: the text can only be cut at word boundaries.
  • IlvNoWrap: no line wrapping, the text cannot be cut.

Note

The attributes relative to paragraphs will be applied to a paragraph if its end (either the paragraph mark inserted with IlvAnnoText::insertParagraph() or the break mark inserted with IlvAnnoText::insertBreak()) is in the Text Palette. We recommend that you use only paragraph attributes on Text Palettes whose zones boundaries are paragraph (or break) boundaries.
An IlvATInteractor can be attached to an IlvATPalette; this interactor will be applied to any IlvATZone associated to the IlvATPalette.
IlvATPalette provides ways to handle tabulation marks in an IlvAnnoText. Tabulation marks are markers placed on an imaginary ruler at the top of the Annotext editing zone (similar to Word or FrameMaker). The positions are in fact pixel coordinates. The tabulation marks are registered either individually by insertTabulationMark() or grouped with insetRegularTabulationMarks() which regularly sets marks between two precise pixel coordinates and at a regular distance from one another.
There are also internal objects, referred to as tabulation, which are included in the marker text flow to the method IlvAnnotext::insertTabulation(). As the tabulation objects are invisible, they have no set position in the text, and merely serve as guidelines when the text is being recalculated. Tabulation marks are designed to tell Annotext that the next character should be drawn at the next tabulation mark, or on the following line if there is no mark on this line.
A user data field enables the storage of user information in each instance.
