Span (lv_span)

Overview

A spangroup is the object that is used to display rich text. Different from the label object, spangroup can render text styled with different fonts, colors, and sizes into the spangroup object.

Parts and Styles

Usage

Set text and style

The spangroup object uses span to describe text and text style. so, first we need to create span descriptor using lv_span_t * span = lv_spangroup_new_span(spangroup). Then use lv_span_set_text(span, "text") to set text. The style of the span is configured as with a normal style object by using its style member, eg:lv_style_set_text_color(&span->style, lv_palette_main(LV_PALETTE_RED)).

If spangroup object mode != LV_SPAN_MODE_FIXED you must call lv_spangroup_refr_mode() after you have modified span style(eg:set text, changed the font size, del span).

Retrieving a span child

Spangroups store their children differently from normal objects, so normal functions for getting children won't work.

lv_spangroup_get_child(spangroup, id) will return a pointer to the child span at index id. In addition, id can be negative to index from the end of the spangroup where -1 is the youngest child, -2 is second youngest, etc.

E.g. lv_span_t* span = lv_spangroup_get_child(spangroup, 0) will return the first child of the spangroup. lv_span_t* span = lv_spangroup_get_child(spangroup, -1) will return the last (or most recent) child.

Child Count

Use the function lv_spangroup_get_span_count(spangroup) to get back the number of spans the group is maintaining.

E.g. uint32_t size = lv_spangroup_get_span_count(spangroup)

Text align

Like label object, the spangroup can be set to one the following modes:

Use function lv_spangroup_set_align(spangroup, LV_TEXT_ALIGN_CENTER) to set text align.

Modes

The spangroup can be set to one the following modes:

Use the function lv_spangroup_set_mode(spangroup, LV_SPAN_MODE_BREAK) to set object mode.

Overflow

The spangroup can be set to one the following modes:

Use function lv_spangroup_set_overflow(spangroup, LV_SPAN_OVERFLOW_CLIP) to set object overflow mode.

First line indent

Use function lv_spangroup_set_indent(spangroup, 20) to set the indent of the first line. all modes support pixel units, in addition to LV_SPAN_MODE_FIXED and LV_SPAN_MODE_BREAK mode supports percentage units too.

Lines

Use function lv_spangroup_set_max_lines(spangroup, 10) to set the maximum number of lines to be displayed in :cpp:enumerator::LV_SPAN_MODE_BREAK mode, negative values indicate no limit.
