[44:7] extends: object
Iterates over the contents of a GtkTextBuffer. You may wish to begin by
reading the text widget conceptual overview,
which gives an overview of all the objects and data types related to the text
widget and how they work together.
GtkTextIter (Handle = null)
Creates a new
TextIterby wrapping a native handle or another wrapper.
Handle is the native handle or another wrapper whose handle to adopt.toNativeHandle (Source)
Normalizes a constructor argument into a raw pointer carrier. Accepts a raw NativeHandle, a raw NativeBuffer returned from
fn.call(...), another generated wrapper exposinghandle(), or null. Returns null when the argument carries no pointer.
Source is the raw handle, raw buffer, wrapper, or null.A raw pointer carrier or null when no pointer is present.getLib ()
Returns the opened native library for this generated wrapper.
The opened native library.handle ()
Returns the wrapped NativeHandle.
The wrapped NativeHandle.isNull ()
Returns true when the wrapped handle is null.
A bool.describe ()
Returns a small string for debugging generated wrappers.
A string.assign (object other)
Assigns the value of @other to @iter. This function is not useful in applications, because iterators can be assigned with
GtkTextIter i = j;. The function is used by language bindings.
other is another GtkTextIter.None.backward_char ()
Moves backward by one character offset. Returns %TRUE if movement was possible; if @iter was the first in the buffer (character offset 0), this function returns %FALSE for convenience when writing loops.
whether movement was possible.backward_chars (int count)
Moves @count characters backward, if possible. If @count would move past the start or end of the buffer, moves to the start or end of the buffer. The return value indicates whether the iterator moved onto a dereferenceable position; if the iterator didn’t move, or moved onto the end iterator, then %FALSE is returned. If @count is 0, the function does nothing and returns %FALSE.
count is number of characters to move.whether @iter moved and is dereferenceable.backward_cursor_position ()
Like [method@Gtk.TextIter.forward_cursor_position], but moves backward.
%TRUE if we moved.backward_cursor_positions (int count)
Moves up to @count cursor positions. See [method@Gtk.TextIter.forward_cursor_position] for details.
count is number of positions to move.%TRUE if we moved and the new position is dereferenceable.backward_find_char (user_data, object limit)
Same as [method@Gtk.TextIter.forward_find_char], but goes backward from
pred is function to be called on each character.user_data is user data for @pred.limit is search limit.whether a match was found.backward_line ()
Moves @iter to the start of the previous line. Returns %TRUE if @iter could be moved; i.e. if @iter was at character offset 0, this function returns %FALSE. Therefore, if @iter was already on line 0, but not at the start of the line, @iter is snapped to the start of the line and the function returns %TRUE. (Note that this implies that in a loop calling this function, the line number may not change on every iteration, if your first iteration is on line 0.)
whether @iter moved.backward_lines (int count)
Moves @count lines backward, if possible. If @count would move past the start or end of the buffer, moves to the start or end of the buffer. The return value indicates whether the iterator moved onto a dereferenceable position; if the iterator didn’t move, or moved onto the end iterator, then %FALSE is returned. If @count is 0, the function does nothing and returns %FALSE. If @count is negative, moves forward by 0 - @count lines.
count is number of lines to move backward.whether @iter moved and is dereferenceable.backward_search (string str, string flags, object limit)
Same as [method@Gtk.TextIter.forward_search], but moves backward.
will never be set to a GtkTextIter located after @iter, even if there is a possible @match_start before or at @iter.str is search string.flags is bitmask of flags affecting the search.match_start is return location for start of match.match_end is return location for end of match.limit is location of last possible @match_start, or %NULL for start of buffer.whether a match was found.backward_sentence_start ()
Moves backward to the previous sentence start. If @iter is already at the start of a sentence, moves backward to the next one. Sentence boundaries are determined by Pango and should be correct for nearly any language.
%TRUE if @iter moved and is not the end iterator.backward_sentence_starts (int count)
Calls [method@Gtk.TextIter.backward_sentence_start] up to @count times. If @count is negative, moves forward instead of backward.
count is number of sentences to move.%TRUE if @iter moved and is not the end iterator.backward_to_tag_toggle (object tag)
Moves backward to the next toggle (on or off) of the @tag, or to the next toggle of any tag if @tag is %NULL. If no matching tag toggles are found, returns %FALSE, otherwise %TRUE. Does not return toggles located at
only toggles before @iter. Sets @iter to the location of the toggle, or the start of the buffer if no toggle is found.tag is a GtkTextTag.whether we found a tag toggle before @iter.backward_visible_cursor_position ()
Moves @iter backward to the previous visible cursor position. See [method@Gtk.TextIter.backward_cursor_position] for details.
%TRUE if we moved and the new position is dereferenceable.backward_visible_cursor_positions (int count)
Moves up to @count visible cursor positions. See [method@Gtk.TextIter.backward_cursor_position] for details.
count is number of positions to move.%TRUE if we moved and the new position is dereferenceable.backward_visible_line ()
Moves @iter to the start of the previous visible line. Returns %TRUE if
could be moved; i.e. if @iter was at character offset 0, this function returns %FALSE. Therefore if @iter was already on line 0, but not at the start of the line, @iter is snapped to the start of the line and the function returns %TRUE. (Note that this implies that in a loop calling this function, the line number may not change on every iteration, if your first iteration is on line 0.)whether @iter moved.backward_visible_lines (int count)
Moves @count visible lines backward, if possible. If @count would move past the start or end of the buffer, moves to the start or end of the buffer. The return value indicates whether the iterator moved onto a dereferenceable position; if the iterator didn’t move, or moved onto the end iterator, then %FALSE is returned. If @count is 0, the function does nothing and returns %FALSE. If @count is negative, moves forward by 0 -
lines.count is number of lines to move backward.whether @iter moved and is dereferenceable.backward_visible_word_start ()
Moves backward to the previous visible word start. If @iter is currently on a word start, moves backward to the next one after that. Word breaks are determined by Pango and should be correct for nearly any language.
%TRUE if @iter moved and is not the end iterator.backward_visible_word_starts (int count)
Calls [method@Gtk.TextIter.backward_visible_word_start] up to @count times.
count is number of times to move.%TRUE if @iter moved and is not the end iterator.backward_word_start ()
Moves backward to the previous word start. If @iter is currently on a word start, moves backward to the next one after that. Word breaks are determined by Pango and should be correct for nearly any language
%TRUE if @iter moved and is not the end iterator.backward_word_starts (int count)
Calls [method@Gtk.TextIter.backward_word_start] up to @count times.
count is number of times to move.%TRUE if @iter moved and is not the end iterator.can_insert (bool default_editability)
Considering the default editability of the buffer, and tags that affect editability, determines whether text inserted at @iter would be editable. If text inserted at @iter would be editable then the user should be allowed to insert text at @iter. [method@Gtk.TextBuffer.insert_interactive] uses this function to decide whether insertions are allowed at a given position.
default_editability is %TRUE if text is editable by default.whether text inserted at @iter would be editable.compare (object rhs)
A qsort()-style function that returns negative if @lhs is less than @rhs, positive if @lhs is greater than @rhs, and 0 if they’re equal. Ordering is in character offset order, i.e. the first character in the buffer is less than the second character in the buffer.
rhs is another GtkTextIter.-1 if @lhs is less than @rhs, 1 if @lhs is greater, 0 if they are equal.copy ()
Creates a dynamically-allocated copy of an iterator. This function is not useful in applications, because iterators can be copied with a simple assignment (
GtkTextIter i = j;). The function is used by language bindings.
a copy of the @iter, free with [method@Gtk.TextIter.free].editable (bool default_setting)
Returns whether the character at @iter is within an editable region of text. Non-editable text is “locked” and can’t be changed by the user via
GtkTextView. If no tags applied to this text affect editability,
will be returned. You don’t want to use this function to decide whether text can be inserted at @iter, because for insertion you don’t want to know whether the char at @iter is inside an editable range, you want to know whether a new character inserted at @iter would be inside an editable range. Use [method@Gtk.TextIter.can_insert] to handle this case.default_setting is %TRUE if text is editable by default.whether @iter is inside an editable range.ends_line ()
Returns %TRUE if @iter points to the start of the paragraph delimiter characters for a line. Delimiters will be either a newline, a carriage return, a carriage return followed by a newline, or a Unicode paragraph separator character. Note that an iterator pointing to the \n of a \r\n pair will not be counted as the end of a line, the line ends before the \r. The end iterator is considered to be at the end of a line, even though there are no paragraph delimiter chars there.
whether @iter is at the end of a line.ends_sentence ()
Determines whether @iter ends a sentence. Sentence boundaries are determined by Pango and should be correct for nearly any language.
%TRUE if @iter is at the end of a sentence..ends_tag (object tag)
Returns %TRUE if @tag is toggled off at exactly this point. If @tag is %NULL, returns %TRUE if any tag is toggled off at this point. Note that if this function returns %TRUE, it means that @iter is at the end of the tagged range, but that the character at @iter is outside the tagged range. In other words, unlike [method@Gtk.TextIter.starts_tag], if this function returns %TRUE, [method@Gtk.TextIter.has_tag] will return %FALSE for the same parameters.
tag is a GtkTextTag.whether @iter is the end of a range tagged with @tag.ends_word ()
Determines whether @iter ends a natural-language word. Word breaks are determined by Pango and should be correct for nearly any language.
%TRUE if @iter is at the end of a word.equal (object rhs)
Tests whether two iterators are equal, using the fastest possible mechanism. This function is very fast; you can expect it to perform better than e.g. getting the character offset for each iterator and comparing the offsets yourself. Also, it’s a bit faster than [method@Gtk.TextIter.compare].
rhs is another GtkTextIter.%TRUE if the iterators point to the same place in the buffer.forward_char ()
Moves @iter forward by one character offset. Note that images embedded in the buffer occupy 1 character slot, so this function may actually move onto an image instead of a character, if you have images in your buffer. If @iter is the end iterator or one character before it, @iter will now point at the end iterator, and this function returns %FALSE for convenience when writing loops.
whether @iter moved and is dereferenceable.forward_chars (int count)
Moves @count characters if possible. If @count would move past the start or end of the buffer, moves to the start or end of the buffer. The return value indicates whether the new position of @iter is different from its original position, and dereferenceable (the last iterator in the buffer is not dereferenceable). If @count is 0, the function does nothing and returns %FALSE.
count is number of characters to move, may be negative.whether @iter moved and is dereferenceable.forward_cursor_position ()
Moves @iter forward by a single cursor position. Cursor positions are (unsurprisingly) positions where the cursor can appear. Perhaps surprisingly, there may not be a cursor position between all characters. The most common example for European languages would be a carriage return/newline sequence. For some Unicode characters, the equivalent of say the letter “a” with an accent mark will be represented as two characters, first the letter then a "combining mark" that causes the accent to be rendered; so the cursor can’t go between those two characters. See also the [struct@Pango.LogAttr] struct and the [func@Pango.break] function.
%TRUE if we moved and the new position is dereferenceable.forward_cursor_positions (int count)
Moves up to @count cursor positions. See [method@Gtk.TextIter.forward_cursor_position] for details.
count is number of positions to move.%TRUE if we moved and the new position is dereferenceable.forward_find_char (user_data, object limit)
Advances @iter, calling @pred on each character. If @pred returns %TRUE, returns %TRUE and stops scanning. If @pred never returns %TRUE, @iter is set to @limit if @limit is non-%NULL, otherwise to the end iterator.
pred is a function to be called on each character.user_data is user data for @pred.limit is search limit.whether a match was found.forward_line ()
Moves @iter to the start of the next line. If the iter is already on the last line of the buffer, moves the iter to the end of the current line. If after the operation, the iter is at the end of the buffer and not dereferenceable, returns %FALSE. Otherwise, returns %TRUE.
whether @iter can be dereferenced.forward_lines (int count)
Moves @count lines forward, if possible. If @count would move past the start or end of the buffer, moves to the start or end of the buffer. The return value indicates whether the iterator moved onto a dereferenceable position; if the iterator didn’t move, or moved onto the end iterator, then %FALSE is returned. If @count is 0, the function does nothing and returns %FALSE. If @count is negative, moves backward by 0 - @count lines.
count is number of lines to move forward.whether @iter moved and is dereferenceable.forward_search (string str, string flags, object limit)
Searches forward for @str. Any match is returned by setting @match_start to the first character of the match and @match_end to the first character after the match. The search will not continue past @limit. Note that a search is a linear or O(n) operation, so you may wish to use @limit to avoid locking up your UI on large buffers. @match_start will never be set to a
GtkTextIterlocated before @iter, even if there is a possible
after or at @iter.str is a search string.flags is flags affecting how the search is done.match_start is return location for start of match.match_end is return location for end of match.limit is location of last possible @match_end, or %NULL for the end of the buffer.whether a match was found.forward_sentence_end ()
Moves forward to the next sentence end. If @iter is at the end of a sentence, moves to the next end of sentence. Sentence boundaries are determined by Pango and should be correct for nearly any language.
%TRUE if @iter moved and is not the end iterator.forward_sentence_ends (int count)
Calls [method@Gtk.TextIter.forward_sentence_end] @count times. If @count is negative, moves backward instead of forward.
count is number of sentences to move.%TRUE if @iter moved and is not the end iterator.forward_to_end ()
Moves @iter forward to the “end iterator”, which points one past the last valid character in the buffer. [method@Gtk.TextIter.get_char] called on the end iterator returns 0, which is convenient for writing loops.
None.forward_to_line_end ()
Moves the iterator to point to the paragraph delimiter characters. The possible characters are either a newline, a carriage return, a carriage return/newline in sequence, or the Unicode paragraph separator character. If the iterator is already at the paragraph delimiter characters, moves to the paragraph delimiter characters for the next line. If @iter is on the last line in the buffer, which does not end in paragraph delimiters, moves to the end iterator (end of the last line), and returns %FALSE.
%TRUE if we moved and the new location is not the end iterator.forward_to_tag_toggle (object tag)
Moves forward to the next toggle (on or off) of the @tag, or to the next toggle of any tag if @tag is %NULL. If no matching tag toggles are found, returns %FALSE, otherwise %TRUE. Does not return toggles located at
only toggles after @iter. Sets @iter to the location of the toggle, or to the end of the buffer if no toggle is found.tag is a GtkTextTag.whether we found a tag toggle after @iter.forward_visible_cursor_position ()
Moves @iter forward to the next visible cursor position. See [method@Gtk.TextIter.forward_cursor_position] for details.
%TRUE if we moved and the new position is dereferenceable.forward_visible_cursor_positions (int count)
Moves up to @count visible cursor positions. See [method@Gtk.TextIter.forward_cursor_position] for details.
count is number of positions to move.%TRUE if we moved and the new position is dereferenceable.forward_visible_line ()
Moves @iter to the start of the next visible line. Returns %TRUE if there was a next line to move to, and %FALSE if @iter was simply moved to the end of the buffer and is now not dereferenceable, or if @iter was already at the end of the buffer.
whether @iter can be dereferenced.forward_visible_lines (int count)
Moves @count visible lines forward, if possible. If @count would move past the start or end of the buffer, moves to the start or end of the buffer. The return value indicates whether the iterator moved onto a dereferenceable position; if the iterator didn’t move, or moved onto the end iterator, then %FALSE is returned. If @count is 0, the function does nothing and returns %FALSE. If @count is negative, moves backward by 0 -
lines.count is number of lines to move forward.whether @iter moved and is dereferenceable.forward_visible_word_end ()
Moves forward to the next visible word end. If @iter is currently on a word end, moves forward to the next one after that. Word breaks are determined by Pango and should be correct for nearly any language
%TRUE if @iter moved and is not the end iterator.forward_visible_word_ends (int count)
Calls [method@Gtk.TextIter.forward_visible_word_end] up to @count times.
count is number of times to move.%TRUE if @iter moved and is not the end iterator.forward_word_end ()
Moves forward to the next word end. If @iter is currently on a word end, moves forward to the next one after that. Word breaks are determined by Pango and should be correct for nearly any language.
%TRUE if @iter moved and is not the end iterator.forward_word_ends (int count)
Calls [method@Gtk.TextIter.forward_word_end] up to @count times.
count is number of times to move.%TRUE if @iter moved and is not the end iterator.free ()
Free an iterator allocated on the heap. This function is intended for use in language bindings, and is not especially useful for applications, because iterators can simply be allocated on the stack.
None.get_buffer ()
Returns the
GtkTextBufferthis iterator is associated with.
the buffer.get_bytes_in_line ()
Returns the number of bytes in the line containing @iter, including the paragraph delimiters.
number of bytes in the line.get_char ()
The Unicode character at this iterator is returned. Equivalent to operator* on a C++ iterator. If the element at this iterator is a non-character element, such as an image embedded in the buffer, the Unicode “unknown” character 0xFFFC is returned. If invoked on the end iterator, zero is returned; zero is not a valid Unicode character. So you can write a loop which ends when this function returns 0.
a Unicode character, or 0 if @iter is not dereferenceable.get_chars_in_line ()
Returns the number of characters in the line containing @iter, including the paragraph delimiters.
number of characters in the line.get_child_anchor ()
If the location at @iter contains a child anchor, the anchor is returned. Otherwise, %NULL is returned.
the anchor at @iter.get_language ()
Returns the language in effect at @iter. If no tags affecting language apply to @iter, the return value is identical to that of [func@Gtk.get_default_language].
language in effect at @iter.get_line ()
Returns the line number containing the iterator. Lines in a
GtkTextBufferare numbered beginning with 0 for the first line in the buffer.
a line number.get_line_index ()
Returns the byte index of the iterator, counting from the start of a newline-terminated line. Remember that
GtkTextBufferencodes text in UTF-8, and that characters can require a variable number of bytes to represent.
distance from start of line, in bytes.get_line_offset ()
Returns the character offset of the iterator, counting from the start of a newline-terminated line. The first character on the line has offset 0.
offset from start of line.get_marks ()
Returns a list of all
GtkTextMarkat this location. Because marks are not iterable (they don’t take up any "space" in the buffer, they are just marks in between iterable locations), multiple marks can exist in the same place. The returned list is not in any meaningful order.
list of GtkTextMark.get_offset ()
Returns the character offset of an iterator. Each character in a
GtkTextBufferhas an offset, starting with 0 for the first character in the buffer. Use [method@Gtk.TextBuffer.get_iter_at_offset] to convert an offset back into an iterator.
a character offset.get_paintable ()
If the element at @iter is a paintable, the paintable is returned. Otherwise, %NULL is returned.
the paintable at @iter.get_slice (object end)
Returns the text in the given range. A “slice” is an array of characters encoded in UTF-8 format, including the Unicode “unknown” character 0xFFFC for iterable non-character elements in the buffer, such as images. Because images are encoded in the slice, byte and character offsets in the returned array will correspond to byte offsets in the text buffer. Note that 0xFFFC can occur in normal text as well, so it is not a reliable indicator that a paintable or widget is in the buffer.
end is iterator at end of a range.slice of text from the buffer.get_tags ()
Returns a list of tags that apply to @iter, in ascending order of priority. The highest-priority tags are last. The
GtkTextTags in the list don’t have a reference added, but you have to free the list itself.
list of GtkTextTag.get_text (object end)
Returns text in the given range. If the range contains non-text elements such as images, the character and byte offsets in the returned string will not correspond to character and byte offsets in the buffer. If you want offsets to correspond, see [method@Gtk.TextIter.get_slice].
end is iterator at end of a range.array of characters from the buffer.get_toggled_tags (bool toggled_on)
Returns a list of
GtkTextTagthat are toggled on or off at this point. If @toggled_on is %TRUE, the list contains tags that are toggled on. If a tag is toggled on at @iter, then some non-empty range of characters following @iter has that tag applied to it. If a tag is toggled off, then some non-empty range following @iter does not have the tag applied to it.
toggled_on is %TRUE to get toggled-on tags.tags toggled at this point.get_visible_line_index ()
Returns the number of bytes from the start of the line to the given
not counting bytes that are invisible due to tags with the “invisible” flag toggled on.byte index of @iter with respect to the start of the line.get_visible_line_offset ()
Returns the offset in characters from the start of the line to the given
not counting characters that are invisible due to tags with the “invisible” flag toggled on.offset in visible characters from the start of the line.get_visible_slice (object end)
Returns visible text in the given range. Like [method@Gtk.TextIter.get_slice], but invisible text is not included. Invisible text is usually invisible because a
GtkTextTagwith the “invisible” attribute turned on has been applied to it.
end is iterator at end of range.slice of text from the buffer.get_visible_text (object end)
Returns visible text in the given range. Like [method@Gtk.TextIter.get_text], but invisible text is not included. Invisible text is usually invisible because a
GtkTextTagwith the “invisible” attribute turned on has been applied to it.
end is iterator at end of range.string containing visible text in the range.has_tag (object tag)
Returns %TRUE if @iter points to a character that is part of a range tagged with @tag. See also [method@Gtk.TextIter.starts_tag] and [method@Gtk.TextIter.ends_tag].
tag is a GtkTextTag.whether @iter is tagged with @tag.in_range (object start, object end)
Checks whether @iter falls in the range [@start, @end). @start and @end must be in ascending order.
start is start of range.end is end of range.%TRUE if @iter is in the range.inside_sentence ()
Determines whether @iter is inside a sentence (as opposed to in between two sentences, e.g. after a period and before the first letter of the next sentence). Sentence boundaries are determined by Pango and should be correct for nearly any language.
%TRUE if @iter is inside a sentence..inside_word ()
Determines whether the character pointed by @iter is part of a natural-language word (as opposed to say inside some whitespace). Word breaks are determined by Pango and should be correct for nearly any language. Note that if [method@Gtk.TextIter.starts_word] returns %TRUE, then this function returns %TRUE too, since @iter points to the first character of the word.
%TRUE if @iter is inside a word.is_cursor_position ()
Determine if @iter is at a cursor position. See [method@Gtk.TextIter.forward_cursor_position] or [struct@Pango.LogAttr] or [func@Pango.break] for details on what a cursor position is.
%TRUE if the cursor can be placed at @iter.is_end ()
Returns %TRUE if @iter is the end iterator. This means it is one past the last dereferenceable iterator in the buffer. [method@Gtk.TextIter.is_end] is the most efficient way to check whether an iterator is the end iterator.
whether @iter is the end iterator.is_start ()
Returns %TRUE if @iter is the first iterator in the buffer.
whether @iter is the first in the buffer.order (object second)
Swaps the value of @first and @second if @second comes before @first in the buffer. That is, ensures that @first and @second are in sequence. Most text buffer functions that take a range call this automatically on your behalf, so there’s no real reason to call it yourself in those cases. There are some exceptions, such as [method@Gtk.TextIter.in_range], that expect a pre-sorted range.
second is another GtkTextIter.None.set_line (int line_number)
Moves iterator @iter to the start of the line @line_number. If
is negative or larger than or equal to the number of lines in the buffer, moves @iter to the start of the last line in the buffer.line_number is line number (counted from 0).None.set_line_index (int byte_on_line)
Same as [method@Gtk.TextIter.set_line_offset], but works with a byte index. The given byte index must be at the start of a character, it can’t be in the middle of a UTF-8 encoded character.
byte_on_line is a byte index relative to the start of @iter’s current line.None.set_line_offset (int char_on_line)
Moves @iter within a line, to a new character (not byte) offset. The given character offset must be less than or equal to the number of characters in the line; if equal, @iter moves to the start of the next line. See [method@Gtk.TextIter.set_line_index] if you have a byte index rather than a character offset.
char_on_line is a character offset relative to the start of @iter’s current line.None.set_offset (int char_offset)
Sets @iter to point to @char_offset. @char_offset counts from the start of the entire text buffer, starting with 0.
char_offset is a character number.None.set_visible_line_index (int byte_on_line)
Like [method@Gtk.TextIter.set_line_index], but the index is in visible bytes, i.e. text with a tag making it invisible is not counted in the index.
byte_on_line is a byte index.None.set_visible_line_offset (int char_on_line)
Like [method@Gtk.TextIter.set_line_offset], but the offset is in visible characters, i.e. text with a tag making it invisible is not counted in the offset.
char_on_line is a character offset.None.starts_line ()
Returns %TRUE if @iter begins a paragraph. This is the case if [method@Gtk.TextIter.get_line_offset] would return 0. However this function is potentially more efficient than [method@Gtk.TextIter.get_line_offset], because it doesn’t have to compute the offset, it just has to see whether it’s 0.
whether @iter begins a line.starts_sentence ()
Determines whether @iter begins a sentence. Sentence boundaries are determined by Pango and should be correct for nearly any language.
%TRUE if @iter is at the start of a sentence..starts_tag (object tag)
Returns %TRUE if @tag is toggled on at exactly this point. If @tag is %NULL, returns %TRUE if any tag is toggled on at this point. Note that if this function returns %TRUE, it means that @iter is at the beginning of the tagged range, and that the character at @iter is inside the tagged range. In other words, unlike [method@Gtk.TextIter.ends_tag], if this function returns %TRUE, [method@Gtk.TextIter.has_tag] will also return %TRUE for the same parameters.
tag is a GtkTextTag.whether @iter is the start of a range tagged with @tag.starts_word ()
Determines whether @iter begins a natural-language word. Word breaks are determined by Pango and should be correct for nearly any language.
%TRUE if @iter is at the start of a word.toggles_tag (object tag)
Gets whether a range with @tag applied to it begins or ends at @iter. This is equivalent to (gtk_text_iter_starts_tag() || gtk_text_iter_ends_tag())
tag is a GtkTextTag.whether @tag is toggled on or off at @iter.marks ()
Returns
get_marksas an Aussom list of wrapper objects. This companion method materializes the full collection up front; useget_marks()when lazy or change-notify access is required.
An Aussom list of elements.tags ()
Returns
get_tagsas an Aussom list of wrapper objects. This companion method materializes the full collection up front; useget_tags()when lazy or change-notify access is required.
An Aussom list of elements.toggled_tags ()
Returns
get_toggled_tagsas an Aussom list of wrapper objects. This companion method materializes the full collection up front; useget_toggled_tags()when lazy or change-notify access is required.
An Aussom list of elements.[13:14] static extends: object

Returns the Panama struct layout for
TextIter.
