gtk_source_buffer_new ()

GtkSourceBuffer*    gtk_source_buffer_new               (GtkTextTagTable *table);

Creates a new source buffer.

gtk_source_buffer_new_with_language ()

GtkSourceBuffer*    gtk_source_buffer_new_with_language (GtkSourceLanguage *language);

Creates a new source buffer using the highlighting patterns in language. This is equivalent to creating a new source buffer with a new tag table and then calling gtk_source_buffer_set_language().

gtk_source_buffer_set_highlight_syntax ()

void                gtk_source_buffer_set_highlight_syntax
                                                        (GtkSourceBuffer *buffer,
                                                         gboolean highlight);

Controls whether syntax is highlighted in the buffer. If highlight is TRUE, the text will be highlighted according to the syntax patterns specified in the language set with gtk_source_buffer_set_language(). If highlight is FALSE, syntax highlighting is disabled and all the GtkTextTag objects that have been added by the syntax highlighting engine are removed from the buffer.

gtk_source_buffer_get_highlight_syntax ()

gboolean            gtk_source_buffer_get_highlight_syntax
                                                        (GtkSourceBuffer *buffer);

Determines whether syntax highlighting is activated in the source buffer.

gtk_source_buffer_set_language ()

void                gtk_source_buffer_set_language      (GtkSourceBuffer *buffer,
                                                         GtkSourceLanguage *language);

Associate a GtkSourceLanguage with the source buffer. If language is not-NULL and syntax highlighting is enabled (see gtk_source_buffer_set_highlight_syntax()), the syntax patterns defined in language will be used to highlight the text contained in the buffer. If language is NULL, the text contained in the buffer is not highlighted.

The buffer holds a reference to language.

gtk_source_buffer_get_language ()

GtkSourceLanguage*  gtk_source_buffer_get_language      (GtkSourceBuffer *buffer);

Returns the GtkSourceLanguage associated with the buffer, see gtk_source_buffer_set_language(). The returned object should not be unreferenced by the user.

gtk_source_buffer_set_highlight_matching_brackets ()

void                gtk_source_buffer_set_highlight_matching_brackets
                                                        (GtkSourceBuffer *buffer,
                                                         gboolean highlight);

Controls the bracket match highlighting function in the buffer. If activated, when you position your cursor over a bracket character (a parenthesis, a square bracket, etc.) the matching opening or closing bracket character will be highlighted. You can specify the style with the gtk_source_buffer_set_bracket_match_style() function.

gtk_source_buffer_get_highlight_matching_brackets ()

gboolean            gtk_source_buffer_get_highlight_matching_brackets
                                                        (GtkSourceBuffer *buffer);

Determines whether bracket match highlighting is activated for the source buffer.

gtk_source_buffer_set_style_scheme ()

void                gtk_source_buffer_set_style_scheme  (GtkSourceBuffer *buffer,
                                                         GtkSourceStyleScheme *scheme);

Sets style scheme used by the buffer.

gtk_source_buffer_get_style_scheme ()

GtkSourceStyleScheme* gtk_source_buffer_get_style_scheme
                                                        (GtkSourceBuffer *buffer);

Returns the GtkSourceStyleScheme currently used in buffer.

gtk_source_buffer_get_max_undo_levels ()

gint                gtk_source_buffer_get_max_undo_levels
                                                        (GtkSourceBuffer *buffer);

Determines the number of undo levels the buffer will track for buffer edits.

gtk_source_buffer_set_max_undo_levels ()

void                gtk_source_buffer_set_max_undo_levels
                                                        (GtkSourceBuffer *buffer,
                                                         gint max_undo_levels);

Sets the number of undo levels for user actions the buffer will track. If the number of user actions exceeds the limit set by this function, older actions will be discarded.

If max_undo_levels is -1, no limit is set.

A new action is started whenever the function gtk_text_buffer_begin_user_action() is called. In general, this happens whenever the user presses any key which modifies the buffer, but the undo manager will try to merge similar consecutive actions, such as multiple character insertions into one action. But, inserting a newline does start a new action.

gtk_source_buffer_redo ()

void                gtk_source_buffer_redo              (GtkSourceBuffer *buffer);

Redoes the last undo operation. Use gtk_source_buffer_can_redo() to check whether a call to this function will have any effect.

gtk_source_buffer_undo ()

void                gtk_source_buffer_undo              (GtkSourceBuffer *buffer);

Undoes the last user action which modified the buffer. Use gtk_source_buffer_can_undo() to check whether a call to this function will have any effect.

Actions are defined as groups of operations between a call to gtk_text_buffer_begin_user_action() and gtk_text_buffer_end_user_action(), or sequences of similar edits (inserts or deletes) on the same line.

gtk_source_buffer_can_redo ()

gboolean            gtk_source_buffer_can_redo          (GtkSourceBuffer *buffer);

Determines whether a source buffer can redo the last action (i.e. if the last operation was an undo).

gtk_source_buffer_can_undo ()

gboolean            gtk_source_buffer_can_undo          (GtkSourceBuffer *buffer);

Determines whether a source buffer can undo the last action.

gtk_source_buffer_begin_not_undoable_action ()

void                gtk_source_buffer_begin_not_undoable_action
                                                        (GtkSourceBuffer *buffer);

Marks the beginning of a not undoable action on the buffer, disabling the undo manager. Typically you would call this function before initially setting the contents of the buffer (e.g. when loading a file in a text editor).

You may nest gtk_source_buffer_begin_not_undoable_action() / gtk_source_buffer_end_not_undoable_action() blocks.

gtk_source_buffer_end_not_undoable_action ()

void                gtk_source_buffer_end_not_undoable_action
                                                        (GtkSourceBuffer *buffer);

Marks the end of a not undoable action on the buffer. When the last not undoable block is closed through the call to this function, the list of undo actions is cleared and the undo manager is re-enabled.

gtk_source_buffer_create_source_mark ()

GtkSourceMark*      gtk_source_buffer_create_source_mark
                                                        (GtkSourceBuffer *buffer,
                                                         const gchar *name,
                                                         const gchar *category,
                                                         const GtkTextIter *where);

Creates a source mark in the buffer of category category. A source mark is a GtkTextMark but organised into categories. Depending on the category a pixbuf can be specified that will be displayed along the line of the mark.

Like a GtkTextMark, a GtkSourceMark can be anonymous if the passed name is NULL. Also, the buffer owns the marks so you shouldn't unreference it.

Marks always have left gravity and are moved to the beginning of the line when the user deletes the line they were in.

Typical uses for a source mark are bookmarks, breakpoints, current executing instruction indication in a source file, etc..

                                                         const GtkTextIter *end,
