The canvas coordinate space is specified in the call to set_bounds().

Parameters:

  x | A pointer to the x coordinate to convert.
  y | A pointer to the y coordinate to convert.

void Goocanvas::Canvas::convert_to_item_space | ( | const Glib::RefPtr< Item >& | item,
|  | double & | x,
|  | double & | y

void Goocanvas::Canvas::convert_to_pixels | ( | double & | x,
|  | double & | y
| ) |  | const

Converts a coordinate from the canvas coordinate space to pixels.

The canvas coordinate space is specified in the call to set_bounds().

The pixel coordinate space specifies pixels from the top-left of the entire canvas window, according to the current scale setting. See set_scale().

Cairo::RefPtr<Cairo::Context> Goocanvas::Canvas::create_cairo_context | ( |  | ) |

Creates a cairo context, initialized with the default canvas settings.

Returns:
  A new cairo context. It should be freed with cairo_destroy().

Glib::RefPtr<Item> Goocanvas::Canvas::create_item | ( | const Glib::RefPtr< ItemModel >& | model | ) |

This function is only intended to be used when implementing new canvas items, typically container items such as Goo::CanvasGroup.

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 Goo::Canvas can define this method if they want to use custom views for items.

It emits the Goo::Canvas::item-created signal after creating the view, so application code can connect signal handlers to the new view if desired.

Parameters:

  model | The item model to create a canvas item for.

Returns:
  A new canvas item.

virtual Glib::RefPtr<Item> Goocanvas::Canvas::create_item_vfunc | ( | const Glib::RefPtr< ItemModel >& | model | ) | `[protected, virtual]`

void Goocanvas::Canvas::get_bounds | ( | double & | left,
|  | double & | top,
|  | double & | right,
|  | double & | bottom
| ) |  | const

Gets the bounds of the canvas, in canvas units.

By default, canvas units are pixels, though the Goo::Canvas:units property can be used to change the units to points, inches or millimeters.

Parameters:

  left | A pointer to a #gdouble to return the left edge, or `0`.
  top | A pointer to a #gdouble to return the top edge, or `0`.
  right | A pointer to a #gdouble to return the right edge, or `0`.
  bottom | A pointer to a #gdouble to return the bottom edge, or `0`.

void Goocanvas::Canvas::get_bounds | ( | Bounds& | bounds | ) | const

  The default line width of the canvas.

Glib::RefPtr<const Item> Goocanvas::Canvas::get_item | ( | const Glib::RefPtr< ItemModel >& | model | ) | const

Gets the canvas item associated with the given Goo::CanvasItemModel.

This is only useful when set_root_item_model() has been used to set a model for the canvas.

For simple applications you can use get_item() to set up signal handlers for your items, e.g.

<informalexample><programlisting> item = goo_canvas_get_item (GOO_CANVAS (canvas), my_item); g_signal_connect (item, "button_press_event", (GtkSignalFunc) on_my_item_button_press, `0`); </programlisting></informalexample>

More complex applications may want to use the Goo::Canvas::item-created signal to hook up their signal handlers.

Parameters:

  model | A Goo::CanvasItemModel.

Returns:
  The canvas item corresponding to the given Goo::CanvasItemModel, or `0` if no canvas item has been created for it yet.

Glib::RefPtr<Item> Goocanvas::Canvas::get_item | ( | const Glib::RefPtr< ItemModel >& | model | ) |

Gets the canvas item associated with the given Goo::CanvasItemModel.

This is only useful when set_root_item_model() has been used to set a model for the canvas.

For simple applications you can use get_item() to set up signal handlers for your items, e.g.

<informalexample><programlisting> item = goo_canvas_get_item (GOO_CANVAS (canvas), my_item); g_signal_connect (item, "button_press_event", (GtkSignalFunc) on_my_item_button_press, `0`); </programlisting></informalexample>

More complex applications may want to use the Goo::Canvas::item-created signal to hook up their signal handlers.

Parameters:

  model | A Goo::CanvasItemModel.

Returns:
  The canvas item corresponding to the given Goo::CanvasItemModel, or `0` if no canvas item has been created for it yet.

Parameters:

  model | A Goo::CanvasItemModel.

void Goocanvas::Canvas::set_scale | ( | double | scale | ) |

Sets the scale of the canvas.

The scale specifies the magnification factor of the canvas, e.g. if an item has a width of 2 pixels and the scale is set to 3, it will be displayed with a width of 2 x 3 = 6 pixels.

Parameters:

  scale | The new scale setting.

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

It should be called in the finalize method of Goo::CanvasItem objects, to remove the canvas item from the Goo::Canvas's hash table.

Parameters:

  model | The item model whose canvas item is being finalized.

void Goocanvas::Canvas::unregister_widget_item | ( | const Glib::RefPtr< Goocanvas::Widget >& | widget | ) |

Parameters:

  witem | A Goo::CanvasWidget item.

void Goocanvas::Canvas::update | ( |  | ) |

This function is only intended to be used by subclasses of Goo::Canvas or Goo::CanvasItem 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.
