Gtk2::TextMark(3)

✨ Gtk2::TextMark — the vibe 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to Gtk2::TextMark 💅 this is the Perl wrapper for GtkTextMark — yes, the little sticky-note bookmark thing that lives inside a text buffer and remembers a spot for you. She's tiny, she's iconic, she's from the gtk2-perl docs, and she's about to be your new fav. 🌸

---

🦋 HIERARCHY

so this is where she sits in the family tree, no cap:

Glib::Object
+----Gtk2::TextMark

she inherits everything from Glib::Object like a good main character. periodt. 👑

---

🌈 METHODS

textmark = Gtk2::TextMark->new ($name, $left_gravity)

make a whole new mark, fresh out the box ✨ args go like this:

• $name (string or undef) — what you wanna call her
• $left_gravity (boolean) — does she have left gravity or nah

Since: gtk+ 2.12 🫶 (so if you're on something ancient, that's a you problem bestie)

textbuffer or undef = $mark->get_buffer

gives you back the text buffer she's chilling in — or undef if she's not attached to one rn 🙈

boolean = $mark->get_deleted

is she deleted? true or false, that's the whole tea 💀

boolean = $mark->get_left_gravity

tells you whether she's got left gravity. boolean moment. 🎀

string or undef = $mark->get_name

returns her name as a string, or undef if she's nameless (mysterious ✨)

boolean = $mark->get_visible

is she visible? boolean, obviously 💅

$mark->set_visible ($setting)

flip her visibility, like a little light switch 🔥

• $setting (boolean) — the new visible-ness

---

💜 PROPERTIES

'left-gravity' — boolean : default false : readable / writable / construct-only / private / static-nick / static-blurb

whether the mark has left gravity 🌀 (that's literally the whole description, bestie, I'm not adding lore)

'name' — string : default undef : readable / writable / construct-only / private / static-nick / static-blurb

the mark's name 🏷️ that's it, that's the description.
