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' .
gofmt -w -r 'text.UltraBlack -> font.ExtraBlack' .
Make sure each affected file imports gioui.org/font.

We panic when someone constructs a literal LabelStyle because they cannot possibly
populate the shaper field. The resulting error is cryptic, and unusual within Gio
because most style types are safe to construct literally. This commit enables
creating literal LabelStyles by exporting the Shaper field, and also documents
the purposes of all of the fields.

This commit moves the min/max width of shaped text and the text's Locale into
text.Parameters. They were previously passed as separate function parameters to
the shaper, but this made little sense and added visual noise. This is a breaking
change, but only if you previously invoked the shaping API directly.
Callers of text.(*Shaper).LayoutString should change:
shaper.LayoutString(params, minWidth, maxWidth, locale, "string")
to
params.MinWidth=minWidth
params.MaxWidth=maxWidth
params.Locale=locale
shaper.LayoutString(params, "string")
Callers of text.(*Shaper).Layout should do likewise.

This commit separates the types for interactive and non-interactive text within
package widget. widget.Selectable is used for all interactive text. widget.Label
is used for all non-interactive text. There is no longer a field on widget.Label
to provide it with a Selectable. If you want selectable text and are not relying
upon the material pacakge API, you need to create widget.Selectables instead of
widget.Labels. The material package's LabelStyle API is unchanged.

This commit adds support for the idea of a text "Truncator", a string
that is shown at the end of truncated text to indicate that it has been
shortened because it would not fit within the requested number of lines.
When specifying a maximum number of lines, a truncator symbol is always
used. If the user does not provide one, the rune `…` is used. This
requirement results in a better user experience and significantly simpler
code, as we can rely upon the presence of one or more truncator glyphs in
the output glyph stream when truncation has occurred.
When interacting with truncated text, the truncator glyphs all act as
a single, indivisible unit. They can be selected or not, and if selected
they act as the entire contents of the truncated portion of the text.
This means that copying all of a truncated label will copy the entire
label text content, with the truncator symbol not appearing at all.
Concretely, the exposed text API now accepts a Truncator string in
text.Parameters, and there is a new glyph flag FlagTruncator which indicates
that the glyph is part of the truncator run. The truncator run will only
have a single FlagClusterBreak (even if the run would usually have many),
and the glyph with both FlagClusterBreak and FlagTruncator will have the
quantity of truncated runes in its Runes field. This necessitated increasing
the size of the Runes field from a byte to an int, as it's theoretically possible
for quite a lot of text to be truncated.
This commit necessarily bumps our go-text/typesetting dependency to the version
exposing truncation in the exported API.

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 rebuilds the editor and label types on the common
foundation provided by textView. This enables labels to have
optional state that makes them selectable, and allows the
two widgets to share the code for managing cursor positions,
displaying selections, and soforth. Labels now have an additional
Layout function which can be invoked if they have a Selectable.
It accepts a layout.Widget used to paint their contents. Stateless
labels should still use the old Layout method.

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.

The unit.Value is a struct and thus more inconvenient to use than its
underlying float32 type. In addition, most uses don't need a general
value, but rather a specific unit given by the context. This change
replaces unit.Value with two float32 units, Dp and Sp. It also changes
variables and parameters of unit.Value to a specific unit type matching
the context. That is, unit.Dp everywhere except for text sizes which are
in Sp.
Switching to typed float32s has multiple advantages
- They can be constants:
const touchSlop = unit.Dp(16)
- Casting untyped constants is no longer necessary:
insets := layout.UniformInset(16)
- Calculation with values is natural:
func (s ScrollbarStyle) Width() unit.Dp {
return s.Indicator.MinorWidth + s.Track.MinorPadding + s.Track.MinorPadding
}
The main API change is that calls to gtx.Px must be replaced with either
gtx.Dp or gtx.Sp depending on the unit.

color.RGBA has two problems with regards to using it.
First the color values need to be premultiplied, whereas most APIs
have non-premultiplied values. This is mainly to preserve color components
with low alpha values.
Second there are two ways to premultiply with sRGB. One is to premultiply
after sRGB conversion, the other is before. This makes using the API more
confusing.
Using color.NRGBA in sRGB makes it align with CSS.e

Change the definition of Widget from the implicit
type Widget func()
to the explicit functional
type Widget func(gtx layout.Context) layout.Dimensions
The advantages are numerous:
- Clearer connection between the incoming context and the output dimensions.
- Returning the Dimensions are impossible to omit.
- Contexts passed by value, so its fields can be exported
and freely mutated by the program.
The only disadvantage is the longer function literals and the many "returns".
What tipped the scales in favour of the explicit Widget variant is that type
aliases can dramatically shorten the literals:
type (
C = layout.Context
D = layout.Dimensions
)
widget := func(gtx C) D {
...
}
Note that the aliases are not part of the Gio API and it is up to each user
whether they want to use them.
Finally the Go proposal for lightweight function literals,
https://github.com/golang/go/issues/21498, may remove the disadvantage
completely in future.
Context becomes a plain struct with only public fields, and its Reset is
replaced by a NewContext convenience constructor.

The multitude of widget methods on Theme is unnecessary coupling in that all
possible widgets either have to be included in package material, or be
different than 3rd party widgets:
var th *Theme
// Core widget, calling a method on Theme.
th.Button(...).Layout(...)
// 3rd party widget, calling a function taking a Theme.
datepicker.New(th, ...).Layout(...)
Another reason for the Theme methods was to enable a poor man's
theme replacement, so that you could use the same code for
compatible themes. For example,
mat.Button(...).Layout(...)
would not need to change if the type of mat changed, as long as
the new type had a compatible method Button.
However, that point misses the fact that the mat variable had to
be declared somewhere, naming the theme package:
var mat *material.Theme (or, say, *cocoa.Theme)
A better and complete way to replace a theme is to use import renaming.
For example, to replace the material theme with a hypothetical Windows
theme, replace
import theme "gioui.org/widget/material"
with
import theme "github.com/somebody/windows
This change moves all Theme widget methods to be standalone functions,
and renames the widget style types accordingly.
For example, instead of the method
func (t *Theme) Button(...) Button
there is now a function
func Button(t *Theme, ...) ButtonStyle

First, replace LayoutOptions with an explicit maximum width parameter. The
single-field option struct doesn't carry its weight, and I don't think we'll
see more global layout options in the future. Rather, I expect options to cover
spans of text or be part of a Font.
Second, replace the unit.Converter with an scaled text size. It's simpler and
allow the Editor and similar widgets to easily detect whether their cached
layouts are stale. Package text no longer depends on package unit, which is
now dealt with at the widget-level only.
Finally, remove the Size field from Font. It was a design mistake: a Font is
assumed to cover all sizes, as evidenced by the FontRegistry disregarding
Size when looking up fonts.
