Struct druid::LayoutCtx

pub struct LayoutCtx<'a, 'b> { /* private fields */ }

A context provided to layout-handling methods of widgets.

As of now, the main service provided is access to a factory for creating text layout objects, which are likely to be useful during widget layout.

Implementations

impl LayoutCtx<'_, '_>

pub fn widget_id(&self) -> WidgetId

get the WidgetId of the current widget.

pub fn window(&self) -> &WindowHandle

Returns a reference to the current WindowHandle.

pub fn window_id(&self) -> WindowId

Get the WindowId of the current window.

pub fn text(&mut self) -> &mut PietText

Get an object which can create text layouts.

pub fn scale(&self) -> Scale

The current window’s Scale.

The returned Scale is a copy and thus its information will be stale after the platform changes the window’s scale. This means you can only rely on it until the next Event::WindowScale event happens.

impl LayoutCtx<'_, '_>

pub fn view_context_changed(&mut self)

Indicate that your ViewContext has changed.

This event is sent after layout is done and before paint is called. Note that you can still receive this event even if there was no prior call to layout.

Widgets must call this method after changing the clip region of their children. Changes to the other parts of ViewContext (cursor position and global origin) are tracked internally.

impl LayoutCtx<'_, '_>

pub fn submit_command(&mut self, cmd: impl Into<Command>)

Submit a Command to be run after this event is handled.

Commands are run in the order they are submitted; all commands submitted during the handling of an event are executed before the update method is called; events submitted during update are handled after painting.

Target::Auto commands will be sent to the window containing the widget.

pub fn get_external_handle(&self) -> ExtEventSink

Returns an ExtEventSink that can be moved between threads, and can be used to submit commands back to the application.

pub fn request_timer(&mut self, deadline: Duration) -> TimerToken

Request a timer event.

The return value is a token, which can be used to associate the request with the event.

impl<'a, 'b> LayoutCtx<'a, 'b>

pub fn set_paint_insets(&mut self, insets: impl Into<Insets>)

Set explicit paint Insets for this widget.

You are not required to set explicit paint bounds unless you need to paint outside of your layout bounds. In this case, the argument should be an Insets struct that indicates where your widget needs to overpaint, relative to its bounds.

For more information, see WidgetPod::paint_insets.

pub fn set_baseline_offset(&mut self, baseline: f64)

Set an explicit baseline position for this widget.

The baseline position is used to align widgets that contain text, such as buttons, labels, and other controls. It may also be used by other widgets that are opinionated about how they are aligned relative to neighbouring text, such as switches or checkboxes.

The provided value should be the distance from the bottom of the widget to the baseline.
