Hey, So this came up while discussing https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=647284 and we weren't sure what the proper answers for all those questions were. So we were wondering. We are thinking about GtkLabel size reuqests, in particular about the width. For ease of discussion, we assume that the font is monospaced, so we can forget about pixels and only think about characters. The text set on the label is "12345 1234" (10 characters in 2 words). And the question is: Given the properties on the left what width should the label request? Please fill out the table.
label properties number of characters label should request wrap ellipsize width_chars max_width_chars minimum natural false false -1 -1 ? ? true false -1 -1 ? ? false true -1 -1 ? ? true true -1 -1 ? ? false false 4 -1 ? ? true false 4 -1 ? ? false true 4 -1 ? ? true true 4 -1 ? ? false false 8 -1 ? ? true false 8 -1 ? ? false true 8 -1 ? ? true true 8 -1 ? ? false false 12 -1 ? ? true false 12 -1 ? ? false true 12 -1 ? ? true true 12 -1 ? ? false false -1 4 ? ? true false -1 4 ? ? false true -1 4 ? ? true true -1 4 ? ? false false 4 4 ? ? true false 4 4 ? ? false true 4 4 ? ? true true 4 4 ? ? false false 8 4 ? ? true false 8 4 ? ? false true 8 4 ? ? true true 8 4 ? ? false false 12 4 ? ? true false 12 4 ? ? false true 12 4 ? ? true true 12 4 ? ? false false -1 8 ? ? true false -1 8 ? ? false true -1 8 ? ? true true -1 8 ? ? false false 4 8 ? ? true false 4 8 ? ? false true 4 8 ? ? true true 4 8 ? ? false false 8 8 ? ? true false 8 8 ? ? false true 8 8 ? ? true true 8 8 ? ? false false 12 8 ? ? true false 12 8 ? ? false true 12 8 ? ? true true 12 8 ? ? false false -1 12 ? ? true false -1 12 ? ? false true -1 12 ? ? true true -1 12 ? ? false false 4 12 ? ? true false 4 12 ? ? false true 4 12 ? ? true true 4 12 ? ? false false 8 12 ? ? true false 8 12 ? ? false true 8 12 ? ? true true 8 12 ? ? false false 12 12 ? ? true false 12 12 ? ? false true 12 12 ? ? true true 12 12 ? ? Alternatively, you can describe an algorithm to compute the label and I will fill out the table for you. But I'm pretty sure you'll get the algorithm wrong and do something entirely stupid for some weird corner case.
