Replace the key.Filter.Target field with a Focus field that matches only
of the specified tag has focus. This has the advantage of simpler event
delivery and for lower latency in delivering key events to new handlers.
For example, consider a UI where a button is activated by a key press,
which is turn displays a dialog with another button activated by the
same key. This change allows two button press(+releases) in the same frame
to arrive at the intended targets: one key press(+release) for each
button.

We're about to replace key.InputOp with a filter; this change separates
the input hint into its own operation.
Signed-off-by: Elias Naur <mail@eliasnaur.com>
Instead of having to supply the predicates for event filtering at the
time of layout, the new Filter type allows widgets to filter at the time
of calling Source.Events. There is then only the need for a single input
op type, in package event.
Filters most importantly allow the use of one tag for several event types,
and we can define that a widget w has &w as its primary tag, by convention.
This allows the replacement of per-widget Focus methods with direct uses
of FocusCmd{&w}, and the later addition of Source.Focused(&w) queries.
Note that the TestCursor test needed restructuring to avoid its use of
InputOps.

Modeling focus change as an operation is awkward, because focus changes
logically happen during event processing, not layout. In particular, you
want to apply focus changes even if a widget is subsequently never laid
out.
Now that input.Source is concrete, it's much more straightforward to
offer focus changes as a command which can be queued through the
Source. A future change may similarly offer a command for directional
focus changes.

This commit enables consumers of the text shaper to select a policy for how
line breaking candidates will be chosen. The new default policy can break lines
within "words" (UAX#14 segments) when words do not fit by themselves on a line.
This ensures that text does not horizontally overflow its bounding box unless
the available width is insufficient to display a single UAX#29 grapheme cluster.

This commit adds back support for loading font collections, which we
lost when switching to the harfbuzz-based shaper last January. In
addition, this commit takes advantage of our new font loading library's
metadata facilities to automatically construct text.FontFaces for all
fonts within a collection. This is significantly more ergonomic for
users, and can be used to load single fonts with automatic metadata
detection as well.
I've exposed a opentype.Face.Font() method that can be used to get the
font metadata for a given face as well, though you have to type assert to
see it:
var myFace text.Face
if asOpentype, ok := myFace.(opentype.Face); ok {
myFont := asOpentype.Font()
}
The one problem with this approach is that the font variant field always
be automatically populated. Mono font detection is supported, but
other variants like SmallCaps are more complicated and may need to be
expressed differently in the future (smallcaps is a feature that any font
file can have, not necessarily a separate font file). See this [0] upstream
issue for details.
Additionally, in order to avoid import cycles, I've moved the declarations
of font attributes to package font. You can fix your code automatically to
refer to the new definitions by running the following:
gofmt -w -r 'text.FontFace -> font.FontFace' .
gofmt -w -r 'text.Variant -> font.Variant' .
gofmt -w -r 'text.Style -> font.Style' .
gofmt -w -r 'text.Typeface -> font.Typeface' .
gofmt -w -r 'text.Font -> font.Font' .
gofmt -w -r 'text.Regular -> font.Regular' .
gofmt -w -r 'text.Italic -> font.Italic' .
gofmt -w -r 'text.Thin -> font.Thin' .
gofmt -w -r 'text.ExtraLight -> font.ExtraLight' .
gofmt -w -r 'text.Light -> font.Light' .
gofmt -w -r 'text.Normal -> font.Normal' .
gofmt -w -r 'text.Medium -> font.Medium' .
gofmt -w -r 'text.SemiBold -> font.SemiBold' .
gofmt -w -r 'text.Bold -> font.Bold' .
gofmt -w -r 'text.ExtraBold -> font.ExtraBold' .
gofmt -w -r 'text.Black -> font.Black' .
gofmt -w -r 'text.Hairline -> font.Thin' .
gofmt -w -r 'text.UltraLight -> font.ExtraLight' .
gofmt -w -r 'text.DemiBold -> font.SemiBold' .
gofmt -w -r 'text.UltraBold -> font.ExtraBold' .
gofmt -w -r 'text.Heavy -> font.Black' .
gofmt -w -r 'text.ExtraBlack -> font.Black+50' .

This commit teaches the text widgets how to position their cursor according to
grapheme cluster boundaries rather than rune boundaries. While this is more work,
the results better match the expectations of users. A "grapheme cluster" is a
user-perceived character that may be composed of arbitrarily many runes.
I chose to implement this within widgets for two reasons:
- grapheme cluster boundaries would be extremely difficult to encode within the
glyph stream returned by the text shaper
- not all text needs to be segmented, only text that can be interacted with
All mutation operations exposed by widget.Editor now work in terms of grapheme
clusters instead of runes.

This commit supports rendering opentype glyphs containing bitmap data instead of
color data. In order to support returning the shaped bitmap glyphs from the Shaper's
Shape() method, it has gained a second return parameter, an op.CallOp. Adding
that CallOp immediately after or immediately before painting the returned path
will display the bitmap glyphs.
The consequences of supporting colored glyphs forced changes upon the widget APIs
for widgets that display text. Previously text always had a fixed paint material,
so we could rely upon the caller setting the material (e.g. adding a paint.ColorOp)
before painting the glyphs and everything would work. Now that we display image-
based glyphs, we end up changing the painting material to an image midway through
displaying text. This is an awkward consequence of how we currently manage the
painting material, and to work around it widgets now accept an op.CallOp that
is expected to set the proper paint material. Text widgets will use that op.CallOp
before painting text (or other paint operations) to ensure that they are painting
with the proper materials.
This, in turn, changed the APIs for laying out widget.Editor, widget.Label, and
widget.Selectable, and eliminated the need for them to accept a callback (the
callback was only really to set the colors). Dropping that callback function
allowed me to consolidate widget.Label to only need one exported Layout method,
and allowed me to unexport the PaintText, PaintCaret, and PaintSelection methods
from widget.Editor and widget.Selectable. Those methods are useless in the public
API now that they don't need to be invoked after applying a color operation.
Callers of the raw text shaper API will need to make the following changes:
- Where before you used:
var ops *op.Ops // Assume we have an operation list.
var shaper *text.Shaper // Assume we have a shaper.
var col color.NRGBA // Assume we have a text color.
var glyphs []text.Glyph // Assume we have already filled a slice of glyphs.
shape := shaper.Shape(glyphs)
paint.FillShape(ops, col, clip.Outline{Path:shape}.Op())
- Now you should do:
shape, call := shaper.Shape(glyphs)
paint.FillShape(ops, col, clip.Outline{Path:shape}.Op())
call.Add(ops)
Callers of the widget.{Label,Selectable,Editor} APIs will need to make the
following changes:
- Where before you used:
var gtx layout.Context // Assume we have an operation list.
var shaper *text.Shaper // Assume we have a shaper.
var textCol color.NRGBA // Assume we have a text color.
var selectCol color.NRGBA // Assume we have a selection color.
var ed widget.Editor // Assume we have an editor.
var sel widget.Selectable // Assume we have a selectable.
// Lay out an editor.
ed.Layout(gtx, shaper, text.Font{}, unit.Sp(30), func(layout.Context) layout.Dimensions {
// Paint the editor.
})
// Lay out a selectable.
sel.Layout(gtx, shaper, text.Font{}, unit.Sp(30), func(layout.Context) layout.Dimensions {
// Paint the selectable.
})
// Lay out an interactive label.
widget.Label{}.LayoutSelectable(gtx, shaper, text.Font{}, unit.Sp(30), "hello", func(layout.Context) layout.Dimensions {
// Paint the label.
})
// Lay out a non-interactive label.
widget.Label{}.Layout(gtx, shaper, text.Font{}, unit.Sp(30), "hello")
- Now you should do:
// Capture setting the text paint material in a macro.
textColMacro := op.Record(gtx.Ops)
paint.ColorOp{Color: textCol}.Add(gtx.Ops)
textMaterial := textColMacro.Stop()
// Capture setting the selection paint material in a macro.
selectColMacro := op.Record(gtx.Ops)
paint.ColorOp{Color: selectCol}.Add(gtx.Ops)
selectMaterial := selectColMacro.Stop()
// Lay out an editor.
ed.Layout(gtx, shaper, text.Font{}, unit.Sp(30), textMaterial, selectMaterial)
// Lay out a selectable.
sel.Layout(gtx, shaper, text.Font{}, unit.Sp(30), textMaterial, selectMaterial)
// Lay out a label (no difference between interactive and non-interactive)
widget.Label{}.Layout(gtx, shaper, text.Font{}, unit.Sp(30), "hello", textMaterial, selectMaterial)
Callers of the material package API do not need to make any changes.

This commit unifies all widget text painting to use a single function
and fixes two bugs that could result in visible glyphs failing to be
painted.
The first bug was that we checked whether a particular glyph's
outline was visible within the viewport and terminated iteration the
first time that we found a glyph that wasn't visible. If the very top
of the next line of text was visible within the viewport, taller glyphs
should be painted since part of them is visible. We would stop as soon
as we got to a short glyph, preventing the rest of the line (and any
tall glyphs it contained) from being painted.
I fixed this first problem by using the ascent/descent of the line containing
a glyph to determine whether it's "visible". While this will conclude that
a small glyph is visible when it may be entirely off-screen, the net result
will be that we will paint the entire line containing the glyph rather than
constructing a special version of the line with only the tall glyphs. This
has better path caching performance, as we don't need a bespoke path for when
the line is partially visible.
The second bug was that when the glyph iterator concluded that the
current glyph was out of the viewport, we would immediately terminate
the loop for painting glyphs without painting any buffered glyphs that
had been determined to be visible.
This second bug was easily fixed by ensuring that we always paint all buffered
glyphs when terminating iteration.
As part of this work, I pulled the (fairly complex) logic of buffering and
painting glyphs into the glyph iterator so that label and editor can share
a single implementation.
I was unable to completely encapsulate the array storing buffered glyphs within
the iterator without it being moved to the heap, so the current glyph iteration
API requires the caller to juggle a slice of glyphs. Hopefully someone in
the future can find a structure that the compiler's escape analysis understands.

This commit restructures the entire text shaping stack to enable lines of shaped text to
have non-homogeneous properties like which font face they belong to and which direction
a segment of text is going.
The text package now provides a concrete type text.Shaper which can be used to convert
strings into sequences of renderable text.Glyphs. At a high level, the API is used
like this:
// Prepare some fonts.
var collection []text.FontFace
// Make a shaper with those fonts loaded.
shaper := text.NewShaper(collection)
// Shape a string.
shaper.LayoutString(text.Parameters{
PxPerEm: fixed.I(12),
}, 0, 100, system.Locale{}, "Hello")
// Iterate the glyphs from that string.
for glyph, ok := shaper.NextGlyph(); ok; glyph, ok = shaper.NextGlyph() {
// Convert the glyph data into a path. In real uses, convert batches of glyphs
// rather than single glyphs to reduce the number of individual paths and offsets
// required to display your text.
shape := shaper.Shape([]text.Glyph{glyph})
// Offset the glyph to the position it declares within its fields. This will
// automatically handle correct bidirectional text glyph positioning.
offset := op.Offset(image.Pt(glyph.X.Floor(), int(glyph.Y))).Push(gtx.Ops)
// Create a clip area from the shape of the glyph.
area := clip.Outline{Path: shape}.Push(gtx.Ops)
// Paint whatever the current color is within the glyph's shape.
paint.PaintOp{}.Add(gtx.Ops)
area.Pop()
offset.Pop()
}
This API will transparently handle both font fallback (choosing appropriate fonts
from those loaded when the primary font doesn't contain a required glyph) and
bidirectional text (mixed left-to-right and right-to-left text). Glyphs are
iterated in order of the input runes, not their visual order, but proper use
of the provided offsets will ensure that text always displays correctly.
Thanks to Elias Naur for suggesting this glyph iterator strategy. It let us cut
through a lot of accumulated complexity from trying to match our old text APIs,
meaning that this change actually is a net negative change in lines of code.
This commit consumes the upstream github.com/go-text/typesetting/shaping API
now that my prior work is merged there, removing the need for the font/opentype/internal
package entirely.
As part of my efforts, I fuzzed both the low-level text shaping stack and the
editor widget extensively. I've committed regression tests found that way into
the appropriate testdata files to ensure the fuzzer re-checks them.

Additionally, this commit updates positionGreaterOrEqual to explicitly handle
