With n the number of Runes in the utf8 buffer? Should be the same as gtk_text_iter_set_offset () ?
Well, I am doing some manually coloring in a GtksourceView buffer, and it is already working, But maybe, if it is O(n) it is not the fastest solution to call the functions many times, it may be better when I sort my highlight positions and call something like forward_iter() so the positioning does not start from the beginning each time. I was a bit surprised that absolute positioned is only available for characters, but not for bytes. Assume I have a text area which begins with "#[" and ends with "]#" which is plain Ascii. So I am really more interested in byte positions for highlight. I have it working with character positions, but I have the feeling that it would be a bit simpler with plain byte locations. And yes, I know that GtkSourceView does highlighting for us by pattern matching, that is what current Ned editor does. But the Nim idetools offer even more advanced highlight information, and I am playing with using that. _______________________________________________ gnome-devtools mailing list [email protected] https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-devtools
