text-layout
text-layout
provides algorithms for laying out text prior to rendering.
Features
no_std
support for constrained environments
Usage
Laying out a paragraph for display in a terminal:
fn layout_paragraph<'a, P: ParagraphLayout>(
paragraph: &'a str,
layout: &P,
max_width: usize,
) -> Vec<&'a str> {
// Process the paragraph into its items.
let mut items = Vec::new();
for c in paragraph.chars() {
items.push(if c.is_whitespace() && items.len() != 0 {
Item::Glue {
width: 1.0,
stretch: 1.0,
shrink: 0.0,
data: (),
}
} else {
Item::Box {
width: 1.0,
data: (),
}
});
}
items.push(Item::Glue {
width: 0.0,
stretch: 100000.0,
shrink: 0.0,
data: (),
});
items.push(Item::Penalty {
width: 0.0,
cost: f32::NEG_INFINITY,
flagged: true,
data: (),
});
// Calculate the paragraph's breaks.
let breaks = layout.layout_paragraph(&items, max_width as f32);
// Render the laid-out paragraph using the break positions.
let mut cursor = 0;
let mut lines = Vec::new();
let mut start = 0;
for (i, _) in paragraph.chars().enumerate() {
if i == breaks[cursor].break_at {
lines.push(¶graph[start..i]);
start = i + 1;
cursor += 1;
}
}
lines.push(¶graph[start..]);
