Class

ClutterText

Description [src]

class Clutter.Text : Clutter.Actor
  implements Atk.ImplementorIface, Clutter.Animatable {
  /* No available fields */
}

An actor for displaying and editing text

ClutterText is an actor that displays custom text using Pango as the text rendering engine.

ClutterText also allows inline editing of the text if the actor is set editable using clutter_text_set_editable().

Selection using keyboard or pointers can be enabled using clutter_text_set_selectable().
